Science On Screen A Positive Move

Science On Screen A Positive Move

Labour’s Research Science and Technology spokesperson David Shearer today congratulated Television New Zealand and the Royal Society of New Zealand for their push to promote science on Kiwi screens.

TVNZ and the Society recently announced a partnership to produce a TV series showcasing the value of science to New Zealand on the state broadcaster’s digital channel TVNZ7.

“Encouraging more and more Kiwis to get interested in science and aspire to a career in science is invaluable for New Zealand,” David Shearer said.

“Innovations born from research and development developed here in New Zealand will be a key driver of New Zealand’s future economic and social prosperity.

“Through this partnership Kiwis, both young and old, will see the commitment and successes of our scientists. Many are leaders in their field working on projects with the potential to create jobs and wealth for New Zealand.

“Showcasing our scientists is a step in the right direction to encourage science and technology in schools, in industry and in society.

“I’m excited about the series becoming a reality on screens,” David Shearer said.
