The Royal Society of New Zealand (RSNZ) is an independent statutory body incorporating the National Academy of Science and Technology and a constituency of scientific, technological and humanities societies, regional societies, Fellows and individual Members. RSNZ advances and promotes science, technology and humanities in New Zealand, recognises and encourages excellence in research, supports education, and publishes scientific journals, reports, and educational resources. It administers research grants, fellowships, awards and prizes.
The Hawke's Bay Branch of the Royal Society of New Zealand is one of a number of regional societies of the national body. The branch is active in the advancement of science and the public understanding of science, particularly through the delivery of lectures to members and the general public of Hawke's Bay. From time to time it also assists other science promotion activities and maintenance of facilities relevant to its aims.
In conjunction with Radio Kidnappers, the Hawke's Bay Branch of the Royal Society of New Zealand is introducing listeners to scientists who still practice in The Bay, and others who have recently retired. We sincerely hope that everyone enjoys meeting our scientists.
