@AucklandLiggins PhD student Alvina Pauuvale is presenting a poster @DOHaD2019 on her work with pacific communities and @LENScience and received this wonderful feedback from @nickyhawley.
Blown away by this amazing work by a talented Tongan PhD student. Pacific communities need scientific leaders and @AucklandLiggins are doing a phenomenal job training them! #DOHaD2019
