"Physics Professor Richard Easther... said that during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic an explicit part of Wiles' role within the university was as a science communicator.

'The paradoxical outcome [is that Siouxsie] Wiles was employed in part as an expert in science communication, but science communication activities are not seen as part of her role'."

It's colonials like Dick Dawkins that mean we can't have nice things, like a stable climate. They insist on throwing #MātaurangaMāori away bc "not white". Similarly, they've denigrated Culture on the continent, & run the place into nothing but overly hot holes. #Decolonise #AlwaysWasAlwaysWillBe

Very cool to hear that Ashley Bloomfield will be the inaugural chair of the Public Policy Impact Institute at #AucklandUni!

And, you know, I don't foresee any problems whatsoever with having both a Public Policy Institute (existing) and a Public Policy IMPACT Institute (new)...
