Siouxsie Wiles: how octopuses taste

From Nine To Noon, 11:50 am on 4 November 2020

Science commentator Siouxsie Wiles joins Kathryn to talk about the latest modelling on daily Covid-19 testing, a study done using fruit flies that looks at the effects of anaesthetics on our body clocks. She'll also look at a new study which found octopuses taste by using the suckers on their arms and a new exhibition opening at MOTAT this weekend dedicated to inventions that were once science fiction but are now science fact. Associate Professor Dr Siouxsie Wiles is the head of Bioluminescent Superbugs Lab at the University of Auckland.
