On Friday I watched The First Wave on Disney+. It’s a National Geographic documentary that looks at the first four months of the Covid 19 outbreak in 2020 in New York City through the eyes of those on the front line, the hospital workers at Long Island Jewish Medical Centre. It’s a harrowing watch. A glimpse of a grim reality we avoided here in New Zealand and an insight into what an overwhelmed public health system looks like. There are a few things that strike you when you watch this film. For a

I can't turn this one down - it's ducklings! Have you ever noticed when you see ducklings on the water they all line up in a row behind mum? I had assumed that this was so they didn't get lost and they could all see each other, but no - fluid dynamics has just figured out the ducklings are wave riding to save energy! Published in the Journal of Fluid Mechanics. The researchers used computer modelling to look at the wake created by mummy duck when she swims and then calculated the amount of energy a

After one hundred and seven days in lockdown, Auckland finally moved into the traffic light system on Friday. Suddenly my life as an Uber driver kicked into high gear again, as my daughter was allowed back into her dance school – so nice not to have to rearrange the furniture anymore for zoom lessons – and end of school term celebrations with mates took place. It was great to see the kids hanging with their friends – a good way to end what has been a pretty … what’s the word, a pretty

They found that there were a couple of different hug techniques, one was a criss-cross arm hug, the other was a
