On Dear Science this week we introduced a very special new co-host: Dr Joel Rindelaub from the University of Auckland, who is taking the reins from Marcus Jones.
This week Joel chatted to Christina and Emily about air pollution and gut health, diamond rain on icy planets, and the complex social structures that dolphins can form, which can apparently get quite freaky!
Today on Dear Science, co-hosts Jessica Hopkins and Joe Wickins take over for the birthday of New Zealand physicist Ernest Rutherford. Alan Blackman talks about the career of the 1908 Nobel Prize in Chemistry winner.
They also discuss some questionable research about smell and sexual desire and bloody mozzies.
This week on Dear Science Casper had a chat with Allan Blackman about Gregor Mendel's 200th birthday, using scientific techniques to determine the authorship of Josquin's compositions, and scientists changing the bonds between atoms for the first time.

Marcus Jones joined Christina live in studio for Dear Science! This week, Marcus and Christina discussed the potential end of particle physics research and why the Tonga volcanic eruption was so explosive.
Join Christina and AUT Professor Allan Blackman for your weekly fix of Dear Science! This week, Allan and Christina discussed the imperial system vs the metric system (and got a bit carried away!). They also discussed a super reactive chemical in the atmosphere that could alter how we do climate modelling, and a silk tag that could tell you whether your medications are safe or dodgy.
This week on Dear Science, Christina was joined live in studio by AUT professor Marcus Jones. They discussed gun violence research in the United States, questions surrounding monkeypox, and why the science behind why yawning is contagious.
This week on Dear Science, AUT Professor Marcus Jones joined Christina live in studio. They discussed the first image of the black hole at the centre of our galaxy, how naming species may be contributing to a gender bias, and coronavirus "ghosts", which can linger in our gut long after catching COVID-19.
