Stories from Our Changing World

From Afternoons, 1:50 pm today

In Our Changing World, the RNZ podcast, Dr Claire Concannon follows scientists into the bush, over rivers, back to their labs and many places in-between to cover the most fascinating research being done in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Every fortnight she also joins us here on Afternoons to chat through her latest discovery, today she joins Jesse to talk about insects and how they communicate.
