We are now about six months away from the 2026 mid-term election in the United States, in which all 435 seats in the House of Representatives will be up for grabs. This election has the potential to transform the political landscape in the States by overturning the Republican majority in the House and rendering Trump a sitting duck president for the remainder of his term.

Theo spoke to the Director of the MacDiarmid Institute, and Physics Professor at the University of Auckland, Professor Nicola Gaston, on the report to the prime minister on Prioritisation in New Zealand’s Science, Innovation and Technology system.
this wiki (and every wiki) we love the KIWI PUKUPUKU! listen to piet and liv kōrero about this special manu brought back from the brink of extinction !!
In March, the Prime Minister’s Science, Innovation, and Technology Advisory Council released a report to the Prime Minister calling for a change in how science, innovation, and technology are funded in Aotearoa New Zealand. Of the $1.7 billion of government spending on science, innovation, and technology, the report identified $839 million for potential reprioritisation.
Needless to say, this marks a large shift in how research will be done in Aotearoa New Zealand, with an increased emphasis on ‘mission-led’ research (where the government determines what research is funded) compared to ‘investigator-led’ research, which is competitively funded and curiosity-driven. Within this ‘mission-led’ approach, the report calls for increasing funding for ‘advanced technology’, such as AI. However, many scientists are concerned with what this approach will mean for the areas Aotearoa excels in, and point to the significant disruption that the pursuit of ‘fashionable’ research, directed by bureaucrats, will cause.
So to better understand this shift in the direction of science research in Aotearoa New Zealand, producer Theo spoke with Professor Nicola Gaston, Director of the MacDiarmid Institute for Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology, and Professor of Physics at the University of Auckland.
