The Auckland Engineering Institute's Dr. Vickie Shim pops into the studio to chat to Rachel about her fascinating and important research on the effects of concussion on (in this instance) teenage rugby players! Whakarongo mai nei to learn more. 

Rachel is joined in studio by doctoral candidate in the University of Auckland's Department of Information Systems and Operations Management, Regan Duff. They chat about Regan's work which looks at the ways individuals, groups and communities self-organise during a crisis event. Whakarongo mai!
