Led task force on "Working at the Forest Science-Policy Interface." Organized three regional conferences (Costa Rica, India, Denmark) that collected 60 case studies describing successes and failures of science influencing policy. Led the panel of international experts who reviewed the case studies and identified common threads and themes, and was lead author of the task force report.
