New Zealand: Dr Matthew Phillips, neurologist

The FNDA website appropriates Māori culture:
We choose the Kaku Kiwi, our nation's ceremonial kiwi feather cloak, to represent our mission.
... and manages to mess up the spelling in the process. Should be kahu not kaku. Though perhaps fittingly kaku means (as per Te Aka dictionary):
1. (noun) Pieces stripped off in the process of dressing flax.
2. (noun) Dried leaves or other vegetable refuse, such as that often deposited by a flood.
3. (noun) A rough cape made of such pieces.

Rough indeed
