Join the SUN Study at the University of Auckland
Is your baby getting ready to start solids? Researchers at the University of Auckland are looking for parents/caregivers of 300 babies living in Auckland who plan to introduce solids at around 6 months of age to participate in an exciting study! We’re investigating how the introduction of solids influences babies’ gut bacteria and whether the introduction of a particular food can help to protect against infection.

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
