@timatkin Sorry for your loss, Tim. My mum has MND, so I know first-hand what a terrible disease it is.

@thhamilton Snoozing octopuses seem to slip in and out of dreams and change colour and texture when doing so.

This vitamin D/COVID-19 study has gone viral, because the results appear to be impressive and people love promoting vitamin D

Unfortunately, the study itself is...problematic

Some peer-review on twitter 1/n

Now moving to vaccinations for 55+, Israel’s largest healthcare provider reported a 94% drop in symptomatic Covid-19 infections among 600,000 people who received two doses of the Pfizer vaccine, despite most cases being the B.1.1.7 variant. Awaiting data.

These are the problems that Brexit has created for the people who create jobs in our country. So many examples. This is one of an inbox full.

All history is political. Let’s call this what it is: a soviet style ideological suppression of academic freedom of enquiry, and a formalisation of anti-intellectualism in favour of populism.

Fascinating. In-person tech conference tested participants before and *every day*, still got 43% covid-infected. None of the 49 participants wore masks.

The support staff who had to wear masks: no infections.

@nickworsick Yep, really superb. Did you recognise this guy? https://t.co/G1i7ICl6je

@discobadgers This is inspired. And, unlike traffic lights, I might actually be able to do this one.

[David Round @master_at_work]

@nickworsick PS. Apologies for the slow response - I'm trying to spend less time on Twitter!

[David Round @master_at_work]

@nickworsick I surely did. Absolutely top notch. Which reminds me, I've been meaning to ask you if you've watched the Once Upon a Time in Iraq documentary on iPlayer?
