One degree of separation
Imagine living in a country that is the roughly the size of France with a population just over four million. Well that's the reality for us in New Zealand. Our total population is smaller than a significant number of the world's largest cities. In fact it's half or less than half of the likes of Seol, Sao Paolo, Bombay, Jakarta, Karachi, Istambul, Mexico City, Shanghai, Tokyo, New York, Bangkok, Beijing, Delhi and London, which range from 10+ million to 7+. It's about the same size as Sydney, Wuhan, Singapore and Calcutta.
Eminent scientist heads ICT All-star line-up for ExpoNZ launch
Paul Callaghan, currently Alan MacDiarmid Professor of Physical Sciences at Victoria University of Wellington, heads the all-star line up for ExpoNZ's first event on 16 July. People who can make even the most complex aspects of science and technology interesting and accessible are a rare breed. Listening to Paul Callaghan talk almost made me wish I'd paid more attention in physics at school! His regular slot on the Kim Hill's Saturday Morning radio show has served up some fascinating dialogues about life, the universe and everything. Conversations About Science, a collection of these were published in 2007 and make great reading, as does the recently published Wool to Weta and a related documentary Beyond the Farm and the Themepark, which will be the theme of Paul's ExpoNZ presentation.
