... and the beginning of a new era

Well... the Invasive Animals CRC's new CEO, Andreas Glanznig, is already kicking goals in his new role.

Our rebid (the IA CRC beyond 2012) is really taking shape under his leadership and he's been studiously conducting his homework in preparation for briefing an array of stakeholders.

Andreas is getting out and about in the media as well. A 'Canberra Times' article published on 21 September provides some background on his extensive experience and credentials, referring to him as a 'shrewd thinker leading the war against feral pests'. Later, he was referred to as a 'lean, green fighting machine'.

The earlier 'Feral Thoughts' blogpost was even picked up in last Saturday's Canberra Times, in a full-page forum piece by Ros Beeby, which gave even more detail about his former victories. On that topic, I'd like to assure readers that this author, referred to as the 'communications staffer', is not all that capable of being 'wry'. The earlier post - end of an era - was intended to outline her observations regarding the difference in leadership and management styles between the two gents.

While we're on communications, let me also take this opportunity to remind readers that if you're interested in feral animal research and management issues, you can also subscribe to the newsletter from the Invasive Animals CRC, the Feral Flyer. This communications staffer also tweets on occasions, relaying titbits of news from trivial ramblings regarding what she's working on, to employment opportunities and recent research results.
