The Wire with Zazi: November 24, 2021

This week on the Wednesday Wire, the show kicks off with Christina having her regular segment Dear Science with AUT Professor Allan Blackman. They talk about a chemical emitted by babies that can affect our behaviour; explore how a spacecraft can deflect an asteroid, and investigate a brand new particle accelerator that can help us better understand atoms.  

After that, Zazi speaks with AUT Associate Professor Leon Benade, discussing the shift many schools have made from traditional learning spaces to more open-plan classroom spaces. 

Then Christina talks to the New Zealand CEO of the Prostate Cancer Foundation, Peter Dickens, on the upcoming Pedal4Prostate fundraiser.

And finally, Zazi has her regular talk with ACT's Brooke van Velden, where they talk about the subject of minimum wage increases and the new Workplace Vaccination Tool announced yesterday.
