About a week ago I tooted about being jarred by having Richard Dawkins (anti Māori science guy) and Polly Passatta pop by to lecture the colonies on their wrong-headedness. I am so delighted by the recognition of Prof #Mātāmua and #Shaneel Lal, both of whom have taught this Boomer new and exciting things this year. Both remind me of the exciting place that is Aotearoa / New Zealand
