Education

Anderson graduated with a PhD in botany from the University of Otago, Dunedin, in 2006.[3]

Research and career

Beginning in 2015, Anderson co-ordinates a citizen science project, the Ahi Pepe MothNet project which encourages members of the public to engage with moths at Orokonui Ecosanctuary.[4] The project brought public attention to the role of moths in the ecosystem and also provides schoolchildren and adults with an experience of "hands-on" science. As a result of the interest in the project, a bilingual Māori–English guide to New Zealand moths was published in 2018.[5][6] In 2017, a group of Dunedin schoolchildren were invited to present their experiences of the project to the World Indigenous People's Conference on Education in Toronto.[7]

Anderson is the President of The Otago Institute for the Arts and Sciences.[8]

Anderson is a Royal Society Rutherford Discovery Fellow based at the Otago Museum[9] working with the museum's insect collection.

Notable achievements

In 2019 Anderson had the New Zealand endemic moth species Ichneutica barbara named in her honour.[10][11]
