From cadets in 1921 to today’s researchers, Ruakura has been buzzing with apiculture for over a century — and the work continues. 🐝

Gene tech the winner in new science budget Most of the $813m budget line was a rebate for international moviemakers. The lion's share of leftovers went to overseeing GMOs and foreign projects

Why chase imaginary foreign funding when we have world-leading scientists right here in NZ?!

The new Science budget puts the cart before the horse while ripping up the road it's on.

Prime Minister’s science prizes recognise outstanding achievements in agriculture, anxiety, virology, science teaching and phytoremediation A team generating significant economic and environmental benefits from improving a plant partner of rye grass, a scientist developing a multidisciplinary approach to understanding and managing anxiety...

Congratulations to the recipients, disappointing the politicians on both ends of the group photo are actively defunding and undermining both science and health.

“People’s personal projects”?!

Together with the Minister’s comments at the Marsden celebration at parliament last week, where she mentioned ‘outcomes’ and picking winners multiple times, that is a dire red flag.

People’s. Personal. Projects.

Screenshot of meeting invite in my outlook calendar, with the topic “Execution Gates Controls”.

Apparently we’re so woke now we can’t say “guillotine” any more, and instead have to say “execution gates”?!

👀

Also, should I accept this meeting invite? 🤔
