Abstract

So what does happen in this not-so-far-away land? A great deal, it turns out. Science communication started in New Zealand over 20 years ago, and has changed considerably from the early days. From living as a scientist in the public eye, to teaching budding neuroscientists to communicate by engaging with everything from Wikipedia to parliamentary submissions, New Zealand science communicators are going from strength to strength.
