Basic Guide for a Visit to a Marae
Maori Values and principles - He Ritenga Guide
Kia ora koutou,
Puketeraki Marae would like us to know the following in relation to our visit to their marae tomorrow morning:
Given the rising Covid-19 situation, it will be a bit of an attenuated pōwhiri – so no hongi and more of a ‘wave’. Also, kai will be served on separate plates for individuals.
Before entering the marae please remove your shoes, ngā mihi.

The Dodd-Walls Centre is affiliated with 2 upcoming events for the International Day of Light
To check for further events (other than below) please follow this link and click the New Zealand tab https://www.lightday.org/events
Come to Papakura Museum to celebrate the International Day of Light from 10 am on the 14th of May. There will be power generators, diffraction glasses, and other interactives suitable for the whole family. Come see the museum in an entirely new light using our camera obscura, or just have a chat with one of our friendly scientist volunteers, we look forward to seeing you on the 14th.

Tūhura Otago Museum and the Dodd-Walls Centre are bringing our favourite hands-on, light-based science demonstrations, along with this year’s finalists in the Quantum Shorts flash fiction competition to Balclutha Library to inspire the next generation of scientists AND science fiction writers. We’ll kick things off with lights, lasers, and liquid nitrogen before handing things over to our travelling physicist for an introduction to all things quantum!

The Australian and New Zealand School in Ultracold Physics (ANZSUP) is a one-week graduate summer
The Australian and New Zealand School in Ultracold Physics (ANZSUP) is a one-week graduate summer school for students at Master level and beginning PhD students. When creating temperatures in the lab that are colder than outer space, the behaviour of matter is dominated by the laws of quantum mechanics. The ANZSUP summer school is aimed at providing graduate students with the relevant background in experiments and theory in the field of ultra-cold physics. This year’s school covered the following topics:
– Laser trapping and cooling of ultra-cold atoms
– Atom optics
– Magnetism in quantum gases
– Phase space methods and stochastic differential equations
– Quantum physics and general relativity
– Lecturers from Australasia and further afield will provide mini-courses on a given topic. In addition to lectures, we plan hands-on activities including a programming workshop in the computer language Julia.
The Ultracold Atomic Physics School will be held in Dunedin, New Zealand at the University of Otago hosted by the Dodd-Walls Centre for Photonic and Quantum Technologies.
The lectures will be held in the Physics Department, Level 3, Science III Building, 730 Cumberland Street, Dunedin.
Accommodation for the 2019 ANZSUP Summer School has been booked at the Caroline Freeman Residential College for the cost of $70 per night including breakfast. The College is a 5 minute walk from the University of Otago Campus.
Caroline Freeman College, 911 Cumberland Street, North Dunedin
The fees for attending this year’s ANZUP are $300 (New Zealand dollars). A limited number of scholarship are available (see below). The fee includes lunches and supports the costs of running the school.
23 November 2018: Application deadline for scholarships
14 December 2018: Registration deadline
20 January 2019: Travel day for arriving in Dunedin.
21 January 2019: Lectures will start in the morning.
25 January 2019: Lectures will finish at noon.

10th International Conference on Advanced Vibrational Spectroscopy (ICAVS)
Auckland, New Zealand
The Dodd-Walls Centre research focuses around photonics, the manipulation of light at the most fundamental, quantum level, and the control and manipulation of matter at the atomic scale, through the use of light.
