Researcher acknowledged with Vice Chancellor award

Dr Paula Dootson has been recognised for her research excellence by the Queensland University of Technology, receiving a Vice Chancellor award for leadership.

Paula received the award for an initiative that aligns QUT academics who are researching the topic of trust, ensuring that synergies are identified and that the research is conducted in a coordinated and collaborative fashion.

Paula is part of the Effective risk and warning communication during natural hazards team, which is working with emergency services to improve warnings. Earlier this year, the team was awarded for their research impact with the CRC Association's Excellence in Research Innovation award, while research on conflicting cues and how they impact emergency warnings, led by Paula, was highly commended by the Emergency Media and Public Affairs conference.

Congratulations Paula!
