Very stoked about receiving one of the Royal Society's Tāwhia te mana fellowships. I will be building a new lab group as part of my fellowship. Tentatively called the Indigenous Science Rangahau lab which will be housed at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa 🥳🙌🏼
Australia cricket will be discounting the match tickets.
This is farcical from England cricket. They're now totally reliant on the bowlers to score enough more runs to give them a total to defend.

As a long suffering Blackcaps fan, still pissed at the CWC final of 2019 and hating the game has turned into the England, India and Australia show, I like seeing any of those teams not perform.

And England aren’t just underperforming, they’re being utterly outclassed.
Joe Root hasn't performed on this England tour in Aotearoa New Zealand
England 31 for 4

Brook goes! Caught by Bracewell at first slip off Duffy's bowling. We're 7 overs in..
