A special themed issue of the Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand that considers the place of science in New Zealand’s future has been published, The issue, guest edited by Dr Ian Yeoman (School of Management) and Emeritus Professor David Bibby (School of Geography, Environment and Earth Sciences) explores science through a number of different lenses from science funding mechanisms, though to public engagement and future scenarios of how science could change New Zealand’s society. Ian says ‘The volume asks questions about the future, aiming to understand what might or could happen. We wanted to hear from experts in science, those that understood the bigger picture or those that could understand the dimensions and interconnectivity of science and how events could unfold. Fundamentally, we were curious with what the future may be and how others imagined it.
