Silver Linings is an inspiring @PenguinBooks_NZ book & live event by @dwdowns & @joepfdavis with stories/insights into business resilience, innovation & agility
I've worked in academia while also working closely with communities that have very little access to science & scientists.
As scientists I think we need to be really careful that when we say we've communicated our facts to the public - we aren't creating a world of 'them and us'
