Join comedian, subject matter expert and host Rachel Rayner, Science Explainer, for this live recording especially for the New Zealand International Science Festival. We'll be exploring the science, art and culture of this local (or Australian?) innovation to finally replace myth with fact.

Rachel Rayner's visit to the NZISF is made possible thanks to a public diplomacy grant from the Australian High Commission in NZ.
