The document introduces the ADOPT tool, which stands for Adoption and Diffusion Outcome Prediction Tool. It was developed by researchers to predict the rate of adoption and level of adoption of new agricultural innovations. The tool works by having users answer 22 questions about characteristics of the innovation and target population. It then provides numeric outputs on time to peak adoption and peak adoption level. Feedback from users found it easy to use and thought-provoking, helping them consider factors that could speed up or slow down adoption. The tool was validated using historical data on the introduction of lupins in Western Australia.Making Surveys Better with AskU

Radio continues to be a widely consumed media in the UK, with 90% of people listening for 21 hours per week. While time spent on social media is growing, time spent with radio and television still significantly dwarfs time spent on social platforms. Digital innovations have made radio even more accessible. Effective radio advertising requires a balanced approach between brand building and activation, focusing on both long term and short term goals. Radio is shown to have a broad impact on brand metrics like awareness while also driving narrower, short term responses like increased sales. It is an emotionally engaging medium that improves returns when achieving higher weekly reach.What Happens in Vegas Changes LIves (part one)

This document discusses environment impact assessments (EIAs), including their purpose, importance, challenges, and ways to improve them. EIAs are used to predict and mitigate environmental consequences of projects and policies before implementation. They are important tools to ensure biodiversity is considered in development plans. However, biodiversity is often inadequately addressed due to limitations like low priority, lack of awareness, data and monitoring. To strengthen EIAs, the document recommends introducing procedures to avoid improper assessments, considering impacts on biodiversity, promoting information sharing, and regulating international trade and liability for environmental damage. The overall goal is to deliver a healthy, well-managed environment for future generations.Invaders, Security, Climate Change: Can we get movement on wicked problems?

This document discusses several "wicked problems" including invasive species, climate change, and biodiversity loss. It notes that while many ecologists study the impacts of climate change, few collaborate with social scientists. The author argues that STEM researchers should engage more in science-policy interfaces to help apply their knowledge to policy issues. Interdisciplinary collaborations are challenging but could generate innovative solutions, although the benefits are still unclear according to new "Science of Team Science" research. Ecologists can contribute ecosystem perspectives but may need to better communicate and engage with diverse partners including social scientists and policymakers.Environmental Assessment 2nd Edition Ravi K Jain L V Urban

This document summarizes the key points of a presentation on vulnerability assessment. It defines vulnerability as a set of conditions that adversely affect a community's ability to deal with hazards. Vulnerability has two components: exposure to hazards and the difficulty in coping with and recovering from them. The document outlines different categories of vulnerability, including physical/material, social/organizational, and motivational/attitudinal vulnerabilities. Several tools for conducting vulnerability assessments are also listed. The document stresses that vulnerability assessments should consider location and other specific factors.Unit1b Introenvscie

The document discusses how science can help strengthen projects funded by the Global Environment Facility's International Waters program. It raises three questions: 1) How is science currently involved? 2) Are the problems these projects aim to address actually getting solved? 3) Are these projects addressing all the right issues? To answer these questions, the document suggests strengthening scientific procedures, monitoring and evaluation, global assessments, and linking projects more closely to issues like food security and the green economy. The overall goal is to make International Waters projects more scientifically-guided and effective in solving transboundary water problems.Jeffrey hutchings keynote address importance of scientific integrity
