Insight Episode #42: Graeme Cumming on scale mismatch and mismanagement

This insight episode comes from full episode seventy-five with Graeme Cumming. 

Graeme is a Professor at James Cooke University in Townsville, Australia and the Director of the Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies.

Graeme talks with Stefan about the lack of methodological transparency in many datasets and the implications of this. Graeme discusses two of his past projects, one on the spread of avian influenza and the other on marine park permitting, to illustrate the importance of understanding and using scale correctly when doing research.
