This week on Dear Science, Christina and Marcus discussed how climate change can cause disease outbreaks in animals, the detection of evidence of a sound tunnel, and the mysterious persistence of CFCs in the atmosphere despite them being banned. 

Christina also spoke to co-founder of Mind the Gap Jo Cribb about the gender pay gap, and the push to enact better pay equity legislation.

Trishil spoke to Madeline Newman, Chief Executive of NZ AI Forum about artificial intelligence as the future of mitigating climate change and declining biodiversity.

Trishil also spoke to Letitia Harding from the New Zealand Asthma Foundation about the overrepresentation of Maori and Pasifika groups with asthma, and how this gap can be alleviated.
