Female scientists in New Zealand have been shut out of our history. The contribution of women in the history of New Zealand science has been camouflaged because none were consulted by the men writing those histories, according to Kate Hannah from Te Pūnaha Matatini. She believes not only were women scientists shut out of advancing within their fields at the time, for instance when "female guests were not given speaking rights at meetings", but also our histories have more often than not been written by men and this has left women invisible. Kate has written an article for a special journal issue about Finding New Zealand's Scientific Heritage

3:10 Saving ancient religious manuscripts from destruction

ISIS has an unlikely nemesis who is trying to cut off the massive amounts of money the terrorist group makes from looting and selling antiquities. Benedictine Monk, Father Columba Stewart has spent the last 13 years saving Christian and Islamic manuscripts from destruction. He teaches locals in Syria and Iraq to look for ancient books and then preserves the manuscripts digitally.

So far he has saved 50-million handwritten pages of precious material.
