Our hope is that these papers can be used as leverage to push for the changes needed in New Zealand’s research and education space. So if you want to collaborate or can think of some research that needs to be done please get in touch 10/

In case you missed us this morning here is the full video. Science research benefits from multiple worldviews as we end up with multiple solutions. Todays biggest problems would benefit from multiple solutions and right now NZ is not benefitting from our rich knowledge systems.
New Zealand's science sector will never reach its full potential with the current lack of Māori and Pasifika, according to a new report: bit.ly/3fqsKwL

Millionaire athletes opt out of their season to protect themselves and their families... Americans: I completely understand and agree. Teachers pleading to teach online to protect themselves, their students and their families... Americans: Stop being so selfish!

Thank you 🙏 We need to urgently increase the number of indigenous psychs by reducing the very real financial barriers that prevent many from getting through their much needed psych degrees. It will make a very real difference – at Perth, Western Australia

I’ve said this so often - but as psychologists we understand that the first step to healing is that your pain & trauma is heard & validated. Such an important step towards that today. #blacklivesmatteraustralia – at Perth, Western Australia
Not gonna lie. I have tears of pride streaming down my face watching the size of these crowds in early images from Brisbane & Adelaide for the #blacklivesmatteraustralia marches. Black & white together saying enough is enough. Thank you Australia 🖤💛♥️
