My wife is an Edmund Hillary Fellow, though not in the "congratulations" category. She's one of the ones looking for funding, not one of the ones doing the funding.

Yeah, there always will be some debates...for everything. I like old guns since those are part of history. Anyway, wish you could get funding soon, and kickoff your plan. May I ask what project or field you wife proposed to EHF?

You may. She currently runs a program for the Great Barrier Reef Foundation helping communities that depend on reef ecosystems develop resilience to climate change. She want to expand that work, build a program in NZ to attract funding and develop and leverage talent in the country to make it a hub for resilience innovation across the Pacific.

Suffice to say, she a lot smarter than I am.
