Science correspondent Siouxsie Wiles joins Lynn to look at how researchers have built a lab-based system to mimic deep-sea volcanic eruptions and compared their findings with data from the eruption of Havre Volcano in the Kermadecs. She'll also look at how, for the first time, researchers have created an electrical signature that's perceived as an odour in the brain's smell-processing centre - even though it doesn't exist. And narwhals are elusive - but now we know how they sound.

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