Mihi mai ki a Dr Jane Kitson, an ecologist and environmental scientist, who as a youngster dreamed of becoming Indiana Jane. She hails from Ngāi Tahu, Ngāti Mamoe and Waitaha. “My immediate family’s lives revolve around the seasonal calendar of gathering kai. Like kaimoana (seafood), tītī (muttonbirds), trout, salmon, duck or deer hunting,” she says. Her upbringing and curiosity about the outdoors and its connection to all living things inspired her to pursue environmental research...

Biosecurity champion Tame Malcolm wants to elevate Māori traditional knowledge in science to help protect the environment from pests. Embarking on a PhD this year, Malcolm plans to research anecdotal knowledge, gathered by word of mouth to help tackle some of New Zealand's most pressing pest problems. For example, when different plants are flowering in the bush, Māori will use different lures for trapping pests, he said. “When kawa kawa is flowering we use cinnamon but ...

It’s incredible what one conversation with the right person can do. For marine biologist Dr John Pirker, a kōrero around his neighbour’s kitchen table, with a few of his Ngāi Tahu kaumātua, set him on the path of becoming a scientist. Dr Pirker is now on a mission to ‘ignite the flame of learning’ in today’s rangatahi. Learn more in our latest episode of UC Science Radio.

We seek the wisdom of Aboriginal leaders with their deep knowledge of Country as we explore how to be a university with place at the centre of its thinking. The University of Tasmania is Indigenising its curriculum. Other universities, in Australia and overseas, are also taking this path. This is in line with recommendations of the 2012 Behrendt Review and commitments made in the Universities Australia Indigenous Strategy 2017-2020.

She’s New Zealand’s first female vascular surgeon, yet Lupe Taumoepeau can count in the dozens the number of times she’s been mistaken for a cleaner. It’s a reminder that there are still too few Māori and Pacific in medicine, especially in its more elite specialties. Here, Dr Lupe — as she’s known at Wellington Hospital where she works as a consultant surgeon, and at the private clinic that she co-founded — talks to Dale about her trailblazing path.
