Following her welcome at Ōtākou, Dame Cindy last night attended a dinner at the University of Otago's Staff Club, celebrating 50 years of the Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Research Study. The Dunedin Study, as it's more commonly known, has been widely described as the broadest and most in-depth study of human beings ever conducted. Led by Professor Richie Poulton at the University of Otago, this world-leading piece of work continues to provide answers to the profound questions of nature versus nurture, and why we ultimately become who we are. You can find out more about the study, its extraordinary findings and real-world impacts, here.
