Jacqueline Lindsay Bay MNZM is a New Zealand science educator, based at the University of Auckland's Liggins Institute. In 2017 Bay was appointed a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to science and education.

## Academic career

Bay completed a PhD titled Adolescent Participation in the DOHaD Story: Changing power relations through collaborative narrative to catalyse the potential of DOHaD for intergenerational change at the University of Auckland. She also holds a Master of Education in science education from Auckland.
Bay is the Director of the science education programme LENScience, which stands for Liggins Education Network for Science. The programme investigates the effectiveness of measures to increase uptake of science from research. Part of LENScience was developed from research Bay conducted in the 1990s, and is aimed at intermediate and high school students, particularly in low decile schools and in Māori and Polynesian communities. LENScience includes programmes aimed at promoting science understanding in students, and professional development for science teachers.
Bay was previously Head of Science at the Diocesan School for Girls in Auckland, and has been president of the Biology Educators' Association of New Zealand.
Bay is part of the research team at Complex Conversations, a research programme based at the University of Auckland's Koi Tū: The Centre for Informed Futures, aimed at "innovating and improving citizen involvement in public decisions around complex issues".
