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.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
