Citing your sources, we love to see it!

@HarelBarok This is the source for the chart and there you also find the data and more https://t.co/DzzQoQWUBp

Why numbers are sometimes better than words.

What people think you say when you say “little chance,” “probably not,” or “highly likely.”

@MilesIParker Ooooh interesting, thanks for sharing Miles

New @ecb Economic Bulletin article out on how climate change affects potential output. Draws on existing literature and ongoing work here at the ECB and Eurosystem 1/

The New Zealand Geographic Board has launched a new set of tangata whenua place names maps.

The maps, updated for the first time since 1995, present Māori and Moriori place names as they were prior to European settlement.

Massively worrying times at Victoria University of Wellington. Hopefully the government steps in.

[Victoria Munn @victoria__munn]

This is terrible news. The brilliant Italian department at Vic sparked my love for the language and it’s been instrumental in my career thus far. https://t.co/7p4SzpFzSy

[GSNZ @GeoscienceNZ]

The GSNZ is deeply concerned about the proposed cuts to staffing at Victoria and Otago Universities, a move that will have a major impact on NZ's ability to deliver research and teaching on crucial geoscience topics. Read our public statement here https://t.co/ufb3aRr8zs

[Steph Walker @el_stepho]

I moved to Wellington specifically because of the Victoria University Theatre programme. These cuts will affect the fabric of the city @WgtnCC must be making a few angry calls now, surely. #stopthecuts

[Jacob Edmond @jbpedmond]

I got my start in studying languages at Te Herenga Waka Victoria, and my career would have been impossible without it. All the cuts to academic programmes are reprehensible, but the cuts to language and culture programmes around the country cut especially deep for me.

[Catherine Chidgey @CathChidgey]

Majored in German at @WellingtonUni & as a direct result studied in Germany & set 2 novels there. The Wish Child won the Acorn (NZ's biggest writing prize); Remote Sympathy longlisted @WomensPrize & shortlisted @DublinLitAward. This is disgraceful.

[Jamie Morton @JamieMortonNZ]

A sweeping Victoria University restructure has alarmed New Zealand’s tight-knit geoscience community – with one prominent earthquake scientist worried it could spell the loss of “world-renowned” expertise on our biggest natural hazards https://t.co/45q8xDxC2q

[Hannah August @TheAugustHannah]

These sorts of cuts would radically change the profile of VUW and of Wellington as a city - the Theatre programme is a crucial pipeline for the city's arts sector. Solidarity with students and academic staff #saveVUW. https://t.co/cf1nkFMm7T

[Verb Wellington @verbwellington]

Incomprehensible to have a University without a thriving culture of critical thinking which is what the humanities offers. If you don’t have that then what really are you? #savevuw

[allimsayingis @hellomotorbike]

The system is cooked and the only people who seem to care are the Greens.

[Dr Simon @drsciman]

NZ unis didn't get the Covid wage subsidy - but everyone else did. With funds returned that were not needed or improperly claimed amounting to $800m, just a fraction of that would #saveVUW and #saveOtago. There is $, there are fixes - is govt hearing us? https://t.co/2hpX6kfuE7

[amy marguerite @goosebath]

cut nothing!! let's talk about mental health & the arts for a sec....i'm so teary at the mo because @EnglishVUW quite truly saved my life....without the lit studied, friends made & incredible support from staff (actual angels) i'd still be in a fatal knot so gosh, please #SaveVUW

[Corinne Seals @SealsCorinne]

Stop the massive job cuts and gutting of VUW! VUW did not choose to keep the borders locked to international students during Covid, government did. VUW didn’t choose for students to be impacted by Covid - we did all we could to support them then and now. #saveVUW @TEU_THW_VUW

[Zoe Mills (they/she) @zoemillsnz]

Large turnout at the protest for stopping the staff cuts at VUW today #SaveVUW

[Sally Owen @sallyfrean]

I’m protesting today for future generations. We need arts, we need teachers, we need geographers, we need languages #saveVUW

[Sally Owen @sallyfrean]

Friends, today we found out 230 staff are proposed to be cut from @WellingtonUni. Our Government have the means to help but are letting it happen. Sign this open letter, email our education minister, help us https://t.co/qHoa0vrShk
