And to the end we come! I won't lie, but it's been a huge year and the last part has somewhat dragged on. Don't get me wrong, I'm super stoked with how the year has finished up. Not to mention a huge thanks to the people that have come out to visit us in Muriwai at Good from Scratch, purchased a EngelElzen cast pan or purchased the amazing Engel fire. I want to thank you all. As we run into another year with what will be my 8th (I think) on Newstalk Sunday, I want to thank Francesca, Kerrie and

Some new research finally answers a pressing scientific question- why does some poo float and some poo sink? An accidental discovery on the microbiomes in mice revealed that the buoyancy of poo is linked to the microbiota present in the intestines. The research done on the mice confirmed that the microbiota in the gut plays a role in how poo turns out. UOA Research Fellow Dr Joel Rindelaub says that a higher rate of 'floaters' coming out of an individual may be indicative of poor intestinal

As 2022 draws to a close, Cabinet is set to make some staffing changes in the incoming new year. Three ministers and three MPs from the Labour Party have announced their retirement, allowing room for some new faces to make their way into Parliament in 2023. Ministers Poto Williams, Aupito William Sio and David Clark and MPs Jamie Strange, Marja Lubeck and Paul Eagle have all announced their retirement, and there's room for more to go ahead of the expected reshuffle in the new year.

This week my two favourite disrupters finally released one of their long awaited projects, a short documentary series on Netflix called Harry and Meghan. You may have heard of it. I’ve been bemused by the lead up to the release of this very carefully crafted glimpse into their love story, and their lives. There’s been outrage over the trailers – for goodness sake, it’s just the trailer! And many, many column inches predicting what the 6 episode series would contain, and what the reaction would

With Christmas rapidly approaching, the right way to decorate is on everybody's minds. The plastic tree vs real tree debate has been gaining more momentum in recent years, especially since sustainability has become a bigger concern. UOA Research Fellow Dr Joel Rindelaub says that real trees have a smaller carbon footprint, but it goes up if you don't dispose of it the right way. In comparison, plastic trees can be reused but they have the extra risk of creating breathable microplastics in the
