Richard Easther
I work in astrophysics and cosmology and teach at the University of Auckland where I am a professor and Head of Department in physics. I enjoy writing about topics that catch my eye in my own field and the often unexpected places science shows up in our lives; from sand castles to public policy.
For contact details see my University of Auckland profile page; I am happy to respond to media queries, speaking invitations and welcome enquiries from students at any level.
Needless to say, the opinions expressed here are my own, and not necessarily those of my employer.

A year ago, my family and I moved home to New Zealand after 15 years in the United States. We'd left New Zealand with suitcases, but returned with a 40-foot shipping container.A year later we are just getting to the bottom of the last of the boxes, where I discovered a 2001 copy of Pulp -- a glossy New Zealand "fashion and lifestyle" magazine -- with me in it.
