An Inexact Science -- Article in the New Zealand Listener

There is an article in the March 26th edition of the New Zealand Listener on the state of the research system. The magazine comes out the week before the date. If you want a copy, it will still be around for a few days in the stores. Many of the people quoted in the article are members of this community, including me.

From the article:

Agencies and scientists are competing, sometimes aggressively. The winners take all and the losers emigrate.

That quote makes me think about the many great researchers that I have known who have left due to the system. Through Te Ara Paerangi and beyond, we have to make it better.
