Scibloggers on Radio New Zealand this summer

Several of our Scibloggers will be featuring over the next few weeks on Radio New Zealand’s summer programmes talking science.

Dr Fabiana Kubke kicked off today with a discussion on Summer of Noelle about tuis and her citizen science project.

I’ll update this post throughout the holidays with links to the audio as more Scibloggers are interviewed on Noelle’s show.

I’m also on Summer Report three times a week talking about the latest tech and science news with Simon Morton and Rowan Quinn. Here’s our first report about the discounting of consumer electronics and tech products over the Christmas sales period and a new paper in Nature detailing efforts by scientists to measure the changes in the world’s habitable zones as temeperature changes.

    Hi Ken. The Summer of Noelle stuff doesn’t seem to have a download option, just a web streaming option. Usually the shows are available for download in mp3 and ogg format but maybe because RNZ is on scaled back staff over the holidays they just offer a streaming option…

    My gig on climate with Noelle is on Jan 6 at 10-30ish. But I’m on Summer Report on Jan 1, talking truffles at 7-50am. Mycorrhizae will be mentioned. If I can get up in time!
