Heads up. A few weeks ago I posted about the crisis in grant funding in NZ. This led to a number of discussions with a journalist from Radio New Zealand. Laura Bootham has shown great persistance in tracking down facts and people. I look forward to hearing what she has come up with. She tells me:
”The story on science funding airs on Monday around 7:20am but I recommend listening from 7:10am until 7:30am news as things are liable to change depending on what happens new-wise in the interim.”

Radio NZ put a good package this am. Minister Joyce said the predictable. I bumbled through an interview. Good to get a debate going… long may it continue.
