5. The ecologists’ framework... (Bazely et al. in Hoogensen et al. 2014)

7. The Biodiversity Crisis •  “99% of all species that have existed are exMnct and… •  rates of exMncMon have varied enormously” •  “Are we currently in a period of mass exMncMon?” •  Norman Myers (1976, Science v193:198)

The Biodiversity Crisis •  “99% of all species that have existed are exMnct and… •  rates of exMncMon have varied enormously” •  “Are we currently in a period of mass exMncMon?” •  Norman Myers (1976, Science v193:198) ExMnct Woolly Mammoth Ivory tusk earrings hYp://bit.ly/1EneKMw I include cultural diversity in my deﬁniMon of biodiversity hYp://projectogeart.ca//

9. My ecology research (Q. how do you deﬁne ecology?) 9 •  Tromso grass gunhild hand

10. Reindeer spit smacks down plant toxins – ScienMﬁc American 10

11. Non-‐indigenous plants •  Myers & Bazely is headed to a 2nd ediMon •  The policy chapter will extol the virtues of CiMzen Science & Local Knowledge •  We’re making an app for that (with apologies to Hon. Carolyn BenneY) 11

12. Loads of ecologists study climate change impacts on ecosystems 12 hYp://bit.ly/1Tmn6NH

13. Few ecologists studying climate change impacts on ecosystems work with social scienMsts 13

14. STEM academics Science, Mech, Engineering, Maths 14 •  Puzzle about: ➡ •  How science feeds into policy… •  How policy is diﬀerent from poliMcs •  We need social scienMsts! •  And, they need us •  hYp://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb102/avl1/head_banging.gif

15. Leading to a common whinge: “why don’t we get more respect?” Me: “Duh, how about engage with diverse colleagues & publics….?” hYp://dawnbazely.lab.yorku.ca/2015/08/why-‐academics-‐should-‐regularly-‐aYend-‐conferences-‐where-‐we-‐dont-‐present-‐our-‐work-‐pt-‐1/

20. Me: Why not engage in the Science-‐Policy interface space?

21. Students: Nora, Paul & Milissa I took my own advice: IPY - GAPS Gas, Arctic Peoples & Security 21

22. Movement corridors for species 22

23. Non-‐Indigenous Plants in the Northwest Territories, Canada •  Non-‐indigenous species are already here •  Figure based on on Williams, P. A. 1997. Ecology and Management of Invasive Weeds. •  Wellington: Department of ConservaMon. 67 p. 23

24. Q. What should a STEM researcher do with this knowledge? A. Drag it into the policy ecosystem (Hoogensen v. 2 of an evolving model) 24

25. Interdisciplinary collaboraMons •  Are not all equal •  science academics + NGOs + government bureaucrats (mulMple stakeholder groups) •  ≠ •  collaboraMons between science academics and diﬀerent kinds of academics from the social sciences and humaniMes 25

26. •  Not all academics share the same goals •  e.g. PoliMcal Ecologists oﬀer a criMque that includes the “science agenda” and ecologists (tnx Tim Forsyth) Uncomfortable space (& not for all) 26

27. Beneﬁts of interdisciplinary collaboraMons are sMll unclear •  Science of Team Science research asks IF & HOW collaboraMon generates novel, innovaMve, transdisciplinary soluMons •  Previously, there was liYle rigorous assessment 27

28. Beneﬁts of interdisciplinary collaboraMons are sMll unclear •  Science of Team Science research asks IF & HOW collaboraMon generates novel, innovaMve, transdisciplinary soluMons •  Previously, there was liYle rigorous assessment see report 28

29. What do ecologists bring? •  … to the broader collaboraMve, interdisciplinary table? •  kick-‐ass ﬂow charts & #DataViz ideas •  I have ideas for you, Will & Whitney! 29

30. ICYMI: Ecology’s Standard Conceptual Research Framework •  Ecology research operates simultaneously on diﬀerent spaMal & temporal scales •  Why? •  Because: Blind Men & the Elephant

31. SpaMal Scales in Ecology 31

34. Conceptualizing “Knowledge as a nutrient” was inspired by working with social scienMsts 34

35. Hypothesis: resilience, good governance & human security will increase with increased knowledge availability 35

36. HOW to test this? With the Open Access ecosystem – Our 2015 survey of YorkU STEM academics found limited understanding of the breadth of OA

37. Suggested reading for my social sciences colleagues hYp://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2014/12/09/poor-‐citaMon-‐pracMces-‐humaniMes-‐and-‐social-‐sciences/ 37

39. Who has already animated this concept? Dr. Carlos Nobre, Brazil IPCC 39

42. PredicMon: beYer governance & Human Security will emerge from: 42 ① Commiwng to Open Access (knowledge & data) ② Not reinvenMng wheels: see Brazil’s Tecnologia Social/Social Technology Framework ③ Blogging about it & using Social Media to reach like-‐minded colleagues & publics hYp://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2016/01/25/how-‐to-‐write-‐a-‐blogpost-‐from-‐your-‐journal-‐arMcle/
