@RCScience @ScienceAlert @darwinsguppie @therebeccadyer What an honor to come back from vacation and see this – thanks @RCScience for recognizing the hard work our incredible team of science journalist, editors and fact checkers put in day and night. We all love what we do and are so proud of it.

@PaulNevertrump Thanks for flagging, we're aware of this issue and working hard with our adtech partners to block these spammy ads. I'm sorry you had that experience! I hate to see it.

I'm looking to speak to men who've had vasectomies earlier in life as a form of contraceptive for a story I'm working on for an Australian women's magazine. Can be anonymous! I'd love to hear your stories. Please share and DM me if you're keen to chat.

@murisec I will pass it on, thank you!

[Fiona MacDonald @fionajmacdonald]

@dctrjack So grateful for a quick scrub. I didn't want to be up until midnight!

[Fiona MacDonald @fionajmacdonald]

@murisec Thank you for the kind feedback - this one slipped through our fact checking process. The article has now been updated. Forgive my poor attempts at Spanish: Gracias! El artículo ya ha sido actualizado

I'm honoured and excited to be moderating a

@Jes_Nancy Hi Nancy, totally get your point! Sorry to not list more locations - we have readers from all over the world. I tried to overcome this by providing a link to Time and Date so everyone could find the correct time based on their location. This should help https://t.co/qG6igfoaxf
