Science medal and link to wealth creation a great endeavour
Science medal and link to wealth creation a great endeavour
By Peter Kerr for sticK
(sticK - 18 Nov. 2011 ) It’s great to see some public recognition of scientists and (by implication) science with the just announced medals presented to 13 New Zealanders by the Royal Society.
Reading some of the citations and background on the women (with the main gong, the Rutherford Medal being won by a member of fairer sex for the first time) and men, the depth and breadth of research carried out in this country totally punches above our size.
Of particular note from an innovation point of view mention should be made of Neville Jordan.
