From Nine To Noon, 11:45 am on 3 July 2019

Science correspondent Siouxsie Wiles looks at a fungus that infects cicadas to makes them mate non-stop, how Kiwis fared in a global honest test and how antioxidants may actually encourage the spread of lung cancer rather than prevent it.

Associate Professor Dr Siouxsie Wiles is the head of Bioluminescent Superbugs Lab at the University of Auckland.
