@JohnSimpsonNews @alexhallhall @maitlis Yes and no. The confidently wrong made up 'facts' about what the EU was and wasn't but people weren't clued up enough to call them on it, so we relied on the BBC. Perhaps we should have dedicated more to learning about these things, but hand on heart is the BBC assertive on this

Life update, I started work in December for CH4 Global, a company growing red seaweed as a feed supplement for cattle to inhibit their methane emissions. I'm setting up in-house Analytics to measure bromoform levels to test the Asparagopsis potency. https://t.co/nNm1oVKfUr

@IMcMillan When I rewrote my stanza I changed the name of Ken the panda to Amanda. It better suited her. A regender rejoinder.

I read some article about an academic wunderkind who answers all his email and works till 11 pm six nights per week, and was the youngest person ever tenured at his uni. About 70% through:

@Paulie157 @Mihi_Forbes I'm not sure that's any different for different age groups, perhaps it just feels less urgent. Hopefully there's a research group looking into this!

@nzscientists For me, most of the jobs in my field (analytical chemistry) are in Auckland but that's not an attractive lifestyle. Here in te Tai Tokerau the lifestyle is 🤙but there's no research university with resulting high skilled jobs, there's mostly primary industry.
