Does smoking cannabis cause lung cancer? Are party pills safe? Does sitting for long periods of time cause blood clots? These are just some of the questions renowned academic, physician and researcher Professor Richard Beasley is discussing in his current national lecture tour.
Richard is the founder and director of the Medical Research Institute of New Zealand. He's also the most recent recipient of New Zealand's top science medal, the Rutherford Medal, for his work in revolutionising the treatment of asthma.
He joins Susie to share some of the unexpected findings from his medical research.
