Getting started: Well, where do you start when considering how to engage with your audience? Especially when you may have multiple audiences (e.g., researchers and policy makers) who each have different interests, values and needs. Recognising these issues is the first key step, as being mindful of your audience is undoubtedly one of the factors that will influence the success of a project. A good tip is to get to know your audience; find out what they’re interested in, what they’d like to know, what is it for them etc. and then consider how that fits with what you want to tell them and what
SEFARI Gateway is delighted to provide funding for a new Fellowship with the Cairngorms National Park Authority. SEFARI Fellowships are bespoke, responsive opportunities aiming to develop a shared understanding between researchers and stakeholders, and to prioritise areas for common effort that can be supported by research knowledge and expertise. This interdisciplinary opportunity is aimed at an individual or team, and requires the review of a diverse range of projects across the fields of health, active travel, community empowerment, net zero transition, land management and behaviour change

What is the problem? Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when microorganisms become resistance to drugs used to control or eradicate them. These drugs arguably paved the way for our modern lifestyle, where infections can be routinely treated and controlled to the point many are considered minor. It has also allowed complicated surgeries to be carried out without the risk of infection. Antimicrobial drugs are also equally useful in animal health and in crop protection to control diseases and harmful pathogens. The problem is that in a never ending biological arms race, the microbes can become
In an ever-changing world, it is essential that individuals are able to access, and act upon, the most relevant information and advice, and no more so than in agriculture. In this technologically-evolving age, finding information is not an issue, but finding information that is trustworthy, and in a format that is fit for purpose, can be challenging. This SEFARI Gateway funded project involved a collaboration between the Moredun Research and James Hutton Institutes and Scotland’s Rural College. The team set out to explore how to provide those working in agriculture with a new way to access a

Carol's current research interests include the Environmental Change Network: Use of long-term monitoring sites and historical re-sampling strategies in the detection of environmental changes.
David is a Field Research Scientist who carries out field sampling (water and soils), the setup and maintenance of field equipment, the processing of samples in the laboratory (water and soils) and the planning and organization of field equipment.
Streams and rivers in farmland areas often have a degraded morphology due to straightening and run-off pollution (inputs of fine sediment, < 2 mm particle size diameter). Constraints on land use also mean restoration is limited to short sections of watercourse and long term (~10 years) restoration studies are currently limited, making it difficult to assess their success. In particular, there is a lack of knowledge on the restoration of low energy streams, where the potential for natural processes to form diverse habitat is often perceived to be limited. However, assessing the impacts of
