Graduate Student of Psychology, University of British Columbia My research draws on an evolutionary psychology approach to investigate how deep-seated motivations influence behaviour in the context of particular threats and opportunities. For example, in one current project, I am applying error management theory to examine evolved biases in person-perception, such as attributions about the internal (psychological) and external (physical) characteristics of people who pose specific threats. In another, I am exploring how people may have developed an adaptive followership psychology for selecting leaders whose qualities were historically best-suited to solve different group challenges. In a third line of work, I am examining how people adapt to seasonal changes that cyclically alter natural ecologies, physiological processes, and social interactions to generate annual patterns of human behaviour (e.g., seasonal changes in short-term vs. long-term mating).
Associate Professor in Environmental Science, Western Sydney University I am a science communicator and am employed as an associate professor in Western Sydney University's School of Science. I teach classes in water science and management, environmental planning and environmental regulation across several degree programs. Prior to WSU, I worked as a scientist in the urban water industry, mainly at Sydney Water. My science interests include freshwater ecology, water chemistry and water pollution (science and management). My research interests include urban water issues, contamination from concrete materials and impacts of mining on streams and rivers. I have provided independent expert testimonies for environmental science matters for the NSW Land & Environment Court, and also for mining development proposals being considered through the planning system. I'm an enthusiastic participant in art & science and community engagement activities associated with water and I often provide expert commentary on water issues in the media. I'm fortunate to visit primary and secondary schools, on behalf of the University, to talk to classes about water.
