Scott worked as a plant\u00a0scientist at Lincoln for 39 years, retiring\u00a0in 2009 as a senior lecturer.<\/p>\n

However,\u00a0for the past 14 years he has been part of\u00a0the ANZ Young Farmer Contest, initially\u00a0setting the questions for the contestants,\u00a0with his growing contribution recognised\u00a0when he was named its first patron in\u00a02012.<\/p>\n

Emberson became a lecturer in\u00a0entomology at the-then Lincoln College\u00a0in 1968. He retired 33 years later in 2002,\u00a0but never really severed his ties with the\u00a0university.<\/p>\n

He has continued to contribute to the\u00a0field of entomology with the results of his\u00a0classification work on mites being used\u00a0internationally.<\/p>\n

He spent much of the\u00a0last decade working with the Department\u00a0of Conservation surveying invertebrate\u00a0diversity for the tenure review process in\u00a0Canterbury and Otago, and has assisted\u00a0with the development of New Zealand\u2019s\u00a0Threatened Species List.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Between them former Lincoln University\u00a0academics Dr Warwick Scott and Dr\u00a0Rowan Emberson have taught and\u00a0conducted research at the institution for\u00a072 years.\nThe pair recently each received the\u00a0Lincoln University Medal, an honour\u00a0which acknowledges those who, in the\u00a0opinion of the university\u2019s council,\u00a0have provided long-term meritorious\u00a0voluntary service and support which\u00a0has enhanced the fabric or reputation of\u00a0the institution.\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":13290,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_FSMCFIC_featured_image_caption":"","_FSMCFIC_featured_image_nocaption":"","_FSMCFIC_featured_image_hide":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
