With Christina away sick, Dear Science is presented by Aneeka this week. We're joined by Professor Allan Blackman from AUT, where we'll be looking at a recent Solar Eclipse on Mars, College Football and brain injuries, and why Oreo Cream sticks to only one side of the cookie.
In Aotearoa, men who have sex with other men are prohibited from donating blood if they have had sex in the three months before, a practice that has been considered discriminatory against LGBTQ+ men. Today, researchers are launching a study to provide evidence in order to improve this policy. In addition, they hope the research will inform HIV prevention and treatment in Aotearoa. This morning, Christina spoke to Dr Peter Saxton from the University of Auckland, who is leading this study.
Tinder and Spotify are two popular apps that rely on AI algorithms to recommend matches and music based on their users’ preferences, but exactly how do these algorithms work and how are they using our data in the process? NZ legal and music experts combed through the privacy policies and terms of use of these apps to see if they provided any detail, but found that the wording was somewhat ambiguous. They also found possible legal and ethical issues within the privacy policies. Joe spoke to co-author of the study, Fabio Morreale from the School of Music at the University of Auckland, on the matter.
Last week a new study released detailed gaps in mental health services for rainbow youth. Researchers at Victoria University of Wellington surveyed more than 950 people aged 14 to 24 in “the first study of mental health support experiences among rainbow rangatahi in Aotearoa New Zealand.” Joe spoke to Clinical Psychologist Gloria Fraser, who co-authored the study, on the matter.
