To anyone grumbling that #wordle has changed since NYT took over, it has barely changed, they've mostly removed offensive words.

There’s interest in role of diet in #gout. However, few studies have been conducted in people with gout; one shouldn’t just extrapolate from general population studies. Diet is adjunctive at best. ULT is mainstay for definitive mgmt. ⁦@G_CANgout⁩ sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Ok twitter, how long do you keep looking for something before giving up and labeling it lost forever? I'm so angry I've lost my hei matau and really don't want to think of it being gone forever. Last confirmed sighting - a selfie from September 14th 😭

Little Girl wanted to join @Hilary_Barry's #formalfriday by wearing her best dress today. She's a little late to the party, but hopes you'll forgive her - she's only a week old.

Ten years ago I was handing in my gene honours dissertation. Today my first student is handing in hers! So proud of the effort she's put into this project and what she's achieved - even before you remember she did this during a pandemic! @GeneticsOtago #AcademicTwitter #handinday

Question time was worth listening to today Journo: "Is it irresponsible of a cabinet minister to put info to the public that hasn't come from a reputable source?" PM: "He said he got the info from a journalist so perhaps we should turn that question back on you. Next question."

Giving feedback to Stats NZ will help set the standards for all sorts of future surveys / research. Gender and sex diversity is real and surveys /statistics need to reflect and record that reality.
