Aisling Rayne is an interdisciplinary researcher engaged in work that spans complex social and ecological systems – from food to freshwater – and our relationships with(in) them. She is based in the Social Science team at Cawthron Institute, in sunny Whakatū (Nelson), where she works across a number of projects, including Te Pūnaha Matatini’s Kindness in Science project, ‘Freshwater for our Taonga’ and ‘Revaluating Impact’ with New Zealand’s Biological Heritage National Science Challenge, and the Fish Futures research programme. It brings Aisling great joy to work in such smart and kind teams, all of whom are addressing critical issues relating to science, society, and the environment.
