Collaborative networks play a key role in tourism disaster management. Understanding what makes them effective and how they can be maintained in the absence of disasters is crucial for enhancing disaster preparedness, response, and recovery → www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

At the same time, tourism organisations have valuable resources and networks that can support emergency responses — yet collaboration between the tourism sector and emergency management remains inconsistent.

Tourists are often caught up in disruptions and add a significant welfare burden to Civil Defence Emergency Management (CDEM) groups.

The Alpine Fault presents the most significant seismic risk, with a 75% likelihood of producing a magnitude 8 earthquake within the next 50 years.

Aotearoa New Zealand’s most popular tourist destinations are often located in high-risk rural areas with limited emergency resources and medical care capacities 🧵🧪

Yes, my complexity / computational folks @tepunahamatatini.bsky.social there is also a maths joke: “Calculus tells us that even as we approach infinity, we approach limits.” Standard economic models will hit their limits long before networks of people do.

Alongside research to ensure that we can rapidly leverage emerging technology to understand our world and make decisions, we also need to study the impact of these emerging technologies on humans and the environment — on Earth and beyond.

As we develop future technologies in Aotearoa New Zealand, they will impact humans and our environments in unexpected ways.

We’re a long way from Silicon Valley, where some top AI engineers are being paid more than US$10 million a year.

To make decisions like these, we need to consider the talent we already have and need to grow in Aotearoa, the conditions that we need to create for people to develop fulfilling careers in these areas, the cost of developing these technologies, and the impact of our geographic location.

Here in Aotearoa, do we want to become adept at creating AI as an advanced technology, or applying it to enable other advanced technologies? Or is it feasible and smart for us to try to do both?

Take AI for example. AI will play a role as an enabling technology in all these areas, but it’s also an advanced technology itself.

AI, quantum computing, biotechnology and space. It’s easy to lump these fields together as advanced technologies. But they all operate very differently, they all need unique skill bases, and they all interlink in distinct ways 🧪🧵

Capital City Complex Systems Symposium 2026
The Capital City Complex Systems Symposium 2026 explores cutting-edge knowledge of complex systems & complexity & how this knowledge is used to drive system change.
So excited to be visiting Aotearoa New Zealand in February for the Capitol City Complex Systems Symposium 2026 (with side trips to Otago, Canterbury, and U. Auckland).
If you're in Wellington or fancy a visit, check out the program.

Why does this matter? Because complex diseases — think cancer, heart disease, neurodegeneration — aren’t caused by one broken part. They emerge from disruptions across interconnected systems. Understanding those networks is key to prevention and precision medicine.

Network medicine is transforming how we understand and treat disease. Instead of looking at single genes or proteins in isolation, it maps the web of interactions that drive health and disease. This approach reveals hidden pathways, shared mechanisms, and new targets for treatment.

Biology isn’t tidy. Data about genes, proteins, and metabolites is enormous, incomplete, and constantly changing — yet many models still assume everything is fixed and error-free. That’s not reality 🧪🧵

Mediawatch: Angst over EVs blows up in headlines
EV uptake boomed with incentives in place, but this week, the government made traditional cars cheaper instead.
"The most interesting thing about these stories is that there were stories about EV fires that contained ... no EV fire."
Te Pūnaha Matatini Principal Investigator @troybaisden.bsky.social spoke to Mediawatch about recent media coverage of electric vehicles → www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa... 🧪

A great wānanga is a generative thinking space. And no more wonderful place for it than Wairewa marae this week for @tepunahamatatini.bsky.social, sheltered by ancestor Mako and surrounded by the hills of Te Pātaka o Rakeihautū 1/n
