CRCNPB farewells Program Leader

CRICHTONA — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 05:47:59 +0000

The CRCNPB would like to thank Dr Paul De Barro for all his work associated with the CRC over the past six years as Program Leader from the Preparedness and Prevention Research Program. Paul has resigned from his CRC role to allow him more time to spend in his Theme Leader role in CSIRO and in helping develop CSIRO’s Biosecurity Flagship.

Paul was one of the longest standing members of the CRC and the time and dedication he has put towards his role will be sorely missed. The CRCNPB would like to wish Paul well in his future endeavours.

In a tribute to Paul’s time with the CRC, the photo caption competition in this edition of The Leaflet uses an image of Paul.

Paul’s departure opens the door for one of his CSIRO colleagues, Dr Rieks van Klinken.

Rieks has extensive experience in the field of entomology, including the past 15 years working with the CSIRO Entomology tropical weeds program.

The CRC would like to welcome Rieks and wish him well in his new role.
