There is some big news in vaccine science this week. The first human patient was dosed with a new experimental cancer-killing virus as part of a brand-new trial. The vaccine contains a virus that has been genetically engineered to selectively kill cancer cells as well as amplifying the body's immune response to the cancer. The vaccine, called Vaxinia, is an oncolytic virus which means that it prefers to target and infect cancerous tumour cells. Oncolytic viruses are designed to replicate inside

At the moment it feels like our health sector is nothing but bad news – story after bad news story – staff shortages and long delays all made worse by the impact of Covid-19. But there is amazing work being done in the health sector and I’d love to highlight one of those today. Dr Samantha Holdsworth has created a world-leading research facility in Gisborne called Matai. The focus is on advancing understanding of the brain, heart, health and disease. Dr Samantha Holdsworth joined Francesca

2022/05/28

This week I went to Top Gun: Maverick I’m almost embarrassed to say but for the first time in many, many years I found myself whooping – yes, out loud – with delight at a scene or two in this long-awaited sequel. The film is such good fun – a classic old school blockbuster presented in a modern, thrilling way. It's filled with nostalgia, humour, heart, stunning air acrobatics and Tom Cruise. But these aren’t the only reasons for my spontaneous outburst. It was mostly prompted by the fact I was

Whitcoulls recommends Hernan Diaz and Don Winslow

The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin ·

2022/05/22

Trust by Hernan Diaz. Terrifically clever novel – it’s four interlinked books, the first of which tells the story of a hugely successful 1920’s NYC financier; the second the memoir of Andrew Bevel, a similarly successful man who claims the first book was a fiction based on his life, and who believes his wife was misrepresented and wants to set the record straight – which he attempts to do by hiring a young woman to write it for him. In the third story that young woman, Ida, recalls how she became

Is the Australian election result a warning to Jacinda Ardern? Do you think it will be hard for leaders of the last few years to hold their positions what with having to have put Covid protocols in place and now dealing with inflation? Budget – what was one thing that impressed you, and one thing that disappointed you? Did it feel like this budget was cobbled together?

Mike van de Elzen: Fennel Gnudi with marjoram & almonds

The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin ·

2022/05/21

This week Mike wants to talk about a tasty little naked Italian. Gnudi are an Italian favourite, consisting of Ricotta dough balls cooked simply with butter. Which is where they get their name from. The English word Nudi or Naked. Very similar to Gnocchi, however, they are a lot lighter as they are Ricotta based rather than a heavier potato or flour-based recipe. Some say they are featherlight clouds of fluffy fresh ricotta. I just say they are delicious as I love all things that can hold flavour

This week it's moon dust! So, you may have heard of NASA's Artemis program which has a goal of returning humans to the moon within the next couple of years. The last time we did this was, astoundingly, in 1972 with Apollo 17. There are many goals with this new mission, one of them being to find out if we can live long-term on the moon, and eventually long-term on Mars! For the last few years, scientists have been looking at what we might be able to grow on the moon by planting seedlings in an

Jacinda Ardern has congratulated Australia's new Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. He's become the 31st Prime Minister of Australia, after emerging as the frontrunner from yesterday's election. But the Labor leader is likely to need the support of smaller parties and independents to form a government.
