Welcome to The Wow! Factor. Every week I will have new tantalising tidbits about science. Log in and enjoy discovering our world along with me. Cheers, Virginia
Fully focused...
Every week I view the world a little differently. The more I learn about our Earth and beyond, the more I want to learn. That's why I have chosen to zoom in on science breakthroughs, or the facts that make you go "wow" about our world. In truth I am a fledgling in the field of technology, biology, cosmology and all the other "ologies" of science. But I have a thirst to know how things work, why they happen and how they affect us. So, I'm using my 25 years' experience as a journalist to tap into the precious knowledge of our planet's scientists, inventors and inspirational thinkers to deliver you simple science stories. If you have any major discoveries or new concepts to share, please email me at: vwinder@xtra.co.nz
