It’s a new day and a new month. We’re hoping that you have settled into March 2023 comfortably even though the floods in Auckland in January, followed by Cyclone Gabrielle in February gave us a terrible start for 2023. Wishing you all a better day!
We’re excited to share a new survey for the Books for Caterpillars project. We’re looking for testers and evaluators to test an upcoming ecommerce website for user interface design and user experience analysis and research. If you would like to participate please email us for the survey passwords. The survey link can be found by clicking on Survey Four.
It’s our last post for the year of 2022! Before we sign off, we reflect on the past 12 months, beginning with our first post in 2021! What an exciting year we had – being invited to many seminars overseas in Wales and in the Netherlands, and events with the Royal Society Te Apārangi! Whew!
Our research on favourite places continues with eager participants who are responding to our posts and are completing our surveys in New Zealand and in Wales. We had published our findings in Europe for our first survey with links to our short paper. We hope to continue researching favourite places in Wales and New Zealand with a clear aim of discovering new findings.
As we close for the year, we wish you all a very safe year end, a historic year end of 2022 – the year New Zealand went off the COVID-19 traffic lights framework with hopes of starting our lives anew again. Enjoy your holidays with your loved ones and have much-needed rest, rejuvenation and reinvigoration that could help you next year. We hope to resume our surveys, newsletters and continuous research in 2023. May you all enjoy the longer summer days and weekends. Take care! And we’ll see you again in 2023!
In this seminar, the availability of water and power generation are necessary commodities for human survival. This seminar helps us understand the importance of hydropower and its ability to generate power while tackling the complexities of water shortages during a period of climate change. An informative seminar deserving of praise!
The presentation went well! Thank you to those who attended online! We hope you enjoyed listening to reasons why favourite places are special both in Wales and in New Zealand. Here’s the link again if you are interested in completing the online survey.
