Fascination Science public lecture tonight (29 October) - THE LIFE OF THE MOLECULES AT THE EDGE

Joachim from Albany

We look forward to seeing you tonight at the next instalment of the Fascination Science series. It will be held in the Sir Neil Waters Lecture Theatre at Massey University's Albany campus in Auckland from 7pm-8.30pm on Tuesday 29 October.

THE LIFE OF THE MOLECULES AT THE EDGE

Molecules feel the most comfortable when surrounded by their own kind. The presence of different kinds of molecules causes certain tension. Dr. Emilia Nowak will discuss the fascinating ways to harness this naturally occurring tension, intelligent manipulation of the disliking molecules, and finally the importance of this phenomena in our everyday life.

If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact us at fascination@massey.ac.nz.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!

We want to hear from you: would you be keen to switch to a fortnightly rubbish collection, or do you prefer things as they are?
