Research Participation Wanted for Unique Focus on Workplace Wellbeing
Hi Neighbours,
My name is Hadley Anderson and I', a student at the University of Canterbury studying towards a MSc in Applied Psychology. I am currently looking for participants who work 20+ hours a week to participate in a survey looking at potential differences between same-sex and mixed-sex partners in areas of work-family conflict and perceptions of life satisfaction. This research is part of an international study as well as a unique area of work-family research. If you currently work 20+hours a week I would hugely appreciate if you could take the time to look at my survey and contribute to this unique and important area of research for everybody's work life wellbeing. If you would like to participate, please click on the following link:

If you have a partner that also works 20+ hours a week, feel free to pass the survey link onto them. Thank you for your consideration, and if you have any questions feel free to contact me at hadley.anderson@pg.canterbury.ac.nz

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!
