Thanks for sharing! Only problem is now I want one.

Room mates are such an odd thing. Here in New Zealand we almost never share a single room past childhood. We would rather put up a dividing wall than have a shared larger room. It just makes so much more

Super excited to see this!! You have my vote!

Thanks! It might be a bit late now but I will remember it for next time :)

New Zealand must of been like f**k this science stuff we like black dam it! Source

Whist I like the idea of a calculator the example you showed is very odd. So a couple sharing a room only slightly bigger pay almost double the rent of a single person. What is the point of them sharing

USD$200/day you say ..... This must mean you can afford to buy me lavish chocolate!

You are absolutely right. It is so hard to get a good public interest on something like this. Have you heard of the Heart Foundation Tick or something similar on food where the food product gets to display

Haha, its like you looked into my book! That is exactly what I did! At the beginning of my research I for some unknown reason decided that green indicates a question that needs to be asked or something

This is actually a big problem. I have seen senior researchers try to take research that should be it's own article and try to include it in their paper to take ownership. I have seen people who have done

Thanks! I see you are from "the land of Everest " that's awesome. New Zealand and Everest share a connection. I wonder if the story is told the same over there?

Waw! Clearly you are funding my next conference travel!

Those traps are actually stoat traps. Too small for a possum. That area there at the port (and a lot of the shore line) is home to a few penguins that live in the holes in the ground at night. The stoats

I only just came across your series but I went through and I think I've now read them all. All of the places you have mentioned I have been there, done that type thing and it is interesting looking at

Welcome to New Zealand! I myself am from the North Island (Taranaki Area) but now live in Christchurch and have done since the earthquakes. I think you have come to town during what seams to be our annual

Thanks @dysprosium. My favorite part about conferences is the conference dinners where you see all the same people only there is usually free flowing alcohol and free food (technically included in the

Thanks! I clearly have to change that! Maybe I will do a post about the conference I went to in Boston, it was a seriously large conference on computational modelling of life sciences. I absolutely loved

Oh the Europe train trip is on my must do list! I dream about when I can get the time. I traveled by myself in Canada but if I didn't the price difference for two people could of defiantly put me off.

Good work! I think I will do about the same. I plan to submit my thesis by the end of the month so I am super busy trying to do that right now so I know them feels!

Yeah not too worried was just part of the story. The train was super relaxing and it was an experience of sorts for me also. The trains here in New Zealand are more scenic than functional to go from one
