Christina was joined in studio by AUT Professor Marcus Jones for Dear Science. This week, they spoke about the first photograph 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. 

This week, Jack Horsnell joined the Tuesday Wire team for his first producing shift! Christina and Jack spoke to Robert McLachlan, Simon Kingham, and John Burnell in a report on the government's Emission Reduction Plan and whether it is enough to meet our climate goals.

Jack also spoke to Dr. Greg Treadwell about the rise of citizen journalism.

Christina spoke to Professor Emeritus Innes Asher from the Child Poverty Action Group about eradicating child poverty ahead of the 2022 Budget.

And finally, Aneeka had her regular catch up with the National Party's Dr. Shane Reti. This week they talked about the allied health workers' strike.
