Career Profiles

AWIS has developed profiles of women in a variety of scientific careers for use in schools. It is hoped that these profiles will provide inspriation to young women and assist them in making choices about their careers.

  • AWIS member Nikki Harcourt is attempting to find scientific answers to explain the therapeutic properties of the delicious sandwich spread—honey !
  • AWIS member Carolyn Lundquist has what many people would say is a dream job – as a marine ecologist. Based at NIWA in Hamilton, she enjoys the odd mix of fieldwork, boating, SCUBA diving and environmental research that comes with the job.
  • Robyn Phipps is a Lecturer in Building Technology.  The job entails teaching property students “how a building functions” and doing research in the design of healthy building systems.
