Researcher
The University of Queensland

Jen Silcock has spent the past ten years in Australia's drylands, searching for rare plants, springs, insights into vegetation dynamics and grazing impacts, and obscure snippets of local history.

Her post-doctoral research focuses on identifying on-ground recovery options for Australia's most threatened plant species and reviewing Australia's plant translocation projects.
