Genomics Aotearoa mourns the loss of our board member Dr Warren Parker CNZM, who died suddenly on 29/12/23. Warren was a man of conviction and action who, through logic, respect for others and a constantly positive attitude, sought to make Aotearoa New Zealand a better place.

It pays to treat a baby queen bee like a queen. Honeybee queens grow the cells of future children when they themselves are still larvae: mistreat them and the children suffer, says Georgia Cullen @otagobiochemistry #ICG2023 @genetics2023
