Safe use of medicines
In homes around New Zealand, unused medicines lie in waiting just in case we might need them one day.

Spring cleaning rituals go way back and are based on religious, psychological and practical traditions. These days spring cleaning extends beyond the four walls of our homes. We are not only encouraged to spring clean the house, but also to focus on spring cleaning our bodies, our lives, our workspace and our gardens. So, where to begin?

Or without the everyday people who lend their time, personal experiences and bodies to science, helping make these breakthroughs possible? Thanks to a new website, there’s now a place where researchers and participants can come together.
