I think this is the first time I've ever had two articles published in the same outlet in quick succession. Thanks for the opportunity, @thebrilliant Both of these articles are related to water and to Māori.

@thebrilliant The first article is a profile of Alyce Lysaght, a water engineer and wahine Māori who is making waves in the sector, partly through her fantastic podcast. Chatting to her was one of my most enjoyable interviews to date #waterengineering #scicomm #science https://thebrilliant.com/case-studies/showcasing-maori-engineering-brilliance-one-podcast-at-a-time/

@thebrilliant The second article is about Waiaroha - a one-of-a-kind project that combines an advanced water-treatment plant with a community & education centre, a celebration of native flora, and a showcase for Māori art & stories. An incredible response to a tragic water crisis #Heretaunga #hastings #science #scicomm https://thebrilliant.com/case-studies/turning-a-deep-distrust-of-water-into-love/
Turning a deep distrust of water into love - The Brilliant
