Pink Science Rockstar Siouxie Wiles

Send us Fan Mail2021 New Zealander of the year, microbiologist and award winning science communicator, Siouxie Wiles cycled to Penny's west Auckland whare this week to chat about making the world a little pinker. They got the party started chatting about her lawsuit with her employer, the online abuse she suffered at the hands of internet AND parliamentary trolls during her promotion of the NZ Government's eradication response to COVID, and her ambitions to be Maverick in Top Gun. From there she discussed her polycystic ovarian diagnosis, her inspirational science teacher and what her boobs have in common with The Queen. Also turning 50, making bacteria glow in the dark and being fueled by all consuming rage. Oh yes and fabulous pink hair. Obviously.  Penny also made a concerted effort to praise Siouxie's brain, even if she took some convincing. People of New Plymouth, come and see Penny in The Tempestuous May 16-17. https://www.iticket.co.nz/events/2025/may/the-tempestuous Support the show
