“In The End, It’s All About People" Professor Katherine Yates - From marine biologist to spatial planner
<p>The world faces a global environmental crisis. Indeed, it has been facing a global environmental crisis for decades, one that even as a small child Professor Yates was aware of, and which inspired her desire to be a scientist in order to “save the planet”.The decimation of our oceans led Katherine to focus on marine spatial planning, protected areas and the associated science policy interface. </p><p>Her work, which touches on many disciplines, has always embraced the multifaceted complexity of real-life conservation planning decisions. </p><p>But, whilst she is passionate about improving marine management and sincerely hopes her work has contributed to that, this inaugural professorial lecture will not focus on her research achievements per say. </p><p>Rather, it will be about how the research she has undertook and the people she’s met along the way have changed her, and as a result changed the work she will go on to do in the future.Following her journey from a “fish hugging” biodiversity conservationist to an equity focused spatial planner, Professor Yates will reflect on the broader lessons learned about conservation, research, and academia.</p><p>This lecture will also be about not being a “normal” academic, the strength that can be found in embracing diversity, the importance of open-mindedness, and the fundamental necessity of equity. </p><p>This lecture will suggest that in the end, be it conservation, research, or indeed life, it’s all about people.</p>
