Condensed matter physics in New Zealand
The condensed matter physics community in New Zealand is small and widely separated, but our separation - across several universities and CRIs (Crown Research Institutes ‒ think CSIRO but split into 7 institutions, soon to merge into 3) - has not prevented us from building thoseclose links that lead to rewarding and excellent scientific careers. The smaller size of ourphysics departments and research centres means too that the resources and facilities neededare not often all available in any one place, and it’s one of those distinctive features of NZphysicists that we have become very good at sharing and supporting one another.
