Giles Budge – “Pesticides, pathogens, pests and pollinators”
15th March 2017 @ 19:00 - 21:00
Our regular monthly meeting, the speakers this time will be Giles Budge – “Pesticides, pathogens, pests and pollinators”
We are very fortunate to have with us on Wednesday Dr. Giles Budge, who is an applied scientist with expertise in pathology, apiculture, diagnostics and crop protection.
His research focuses on helping policy-makers and industry by finding intelligent solutions to real problems. Giles led a successful £21m bid to establish a national Centre of Innovation in Crop Health and Protection in York. He has provided expert evidence to inform several policy reviews surrounding pollinator health and protection.
Dr. Budge is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Entomology and a member of the Bee Health and Advisory Forum. He believes strongly that high quality outputs are more likely to result from interdisciplinary science and his ethos is to work collaboratively rather than in isolation. This is evidenced by leading several large collaborative grants, including a successful BBSRC* funded transatlantic partnering award and a project funded under the Insect Pollinator Initiative.
* I had to look this up: – Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council
Refreshments as usual from 7.00pm.
