95bFM: Ready Steady Learn

Tarin Eccleston is up to chat to Rosetta about the hunt for the next supernova. Using statistics and machine learning, the hope is to find the next one before it explodes, and catch one of life’s most beautiful, galactic cycles of life as it happens. Thanks to The University of Auckland!

Rosetta chats to School of Pharmacy Senior Lecturer Dr Nataly Martini. She's investigating AI technologies' ability to assess and manage pain (particularly for people living with conditions such as dementia, stroke, or communication difficulties) and whether they're ready to be trusted in real healthcare settings. Thanks to The University of Auckland!

For Ready Steady Learn this week, Rosetta chats to Dr. (and recently crowned Taekwondo world champion!) Jean M Uasike Allen. Her work studies how Pacific girl gamers interact with multiplayer video games, how they navigate a traditionally white and male dominated space, and the benefits of community found in the digital realms.  Thanks to The University of Auckland!

For Ready Steady Learn this week, Rosetta chats to Caroline Walker, for her work studying the long term effects of prematurely born lil' bubbas, and her research into ways in which we can support them as they develop.  Thanks to The University of Auckland!

For Ready Steady Learn this week, Rosetta chats to Rodney Stehr. His background of Lithuanian and Fijian heritage living in british Columbia stirred a need to see Pacific values, relationships and ways of knowing represented better in research and institutions. "There are parts of yourself that you feel you have to collapse or shut off. I was trying to find a way to bring those parts together." Thanks to The University of Auckland!

For Ready Steady Learn this week, Rosetta chats to Dr. Zoe Schelp, and her work on the recently coined Anauralia; the lack of a mental ear, how it differs from Anendophasia; the lack of an internal voice, and how to map the invisible yet vivid.  Thanks to The University of Auckland!

For Ready Steady Learn this week, Rosetta chats to Associate Professor Linda Tyler, an art historian, Aotearoa art expert, and the author of a just-published, glossy coffee table book on the New Zealand sculptor Terry Stringer! Thanks to The University of Auckland!

Rosetta chats to Faith Culas, a PhD candidate in the Department of Electrical, Computer and Software Engineering, about her study into how recognising cognitive diversity could lead to better software and more inclusive technology! Whakarongo tonu mai! Thanks to The University of Auckland!

Rosetta chats to Claire Hewitt, who is currently undergoing her PhD in the Faculty of Business, who's research is in rāhui, a Māori mechanism to regulate our behaviour with the environment, looking at this from a marketing angle. Thanks to The University of Auckland! 

Rosetta and Milly chat with Dr. Ibrahim Mohamed, who spent his PhD looking at the potential benefits of feijoas to the health of prediebetic patients in Aotearoa. Whakarongo mai nei! Thanks to UoA!
