Distinguished Professor Philip Hulme from Lincoln University has been awarded the prestigious Shorland Medal by the New Zealand Association of Scientists for his sustained and valuable contributions to ecology - both in New Zealand and worldwide.
The Shorland Medal acknowledges a major and sustained contribution to basic or applied research that has significantly advanced scientific understanding or delivered substantial benefits to society, and considers researchers across all scientific disciplines.
“Receiving the Shorland Medal reflects not only my personal commitment to advancing biosecurity science but also the collaborative efforts of colleagues and partners who share the goal of protecting ecosystems and economies from biological invasions. This recognition reinforces the importance of research that bridges ecology, policy and human behaviour to deliver practical solutions for global challenges.” says Dist. Prof. Hulme.
