NEW: last week we got the latest UK census data, on ethnicity, religion & identity.

It was met with toxic responses from the usual suspects seeking to weaponise the stats.

Almost every word of what they claimed was false.

[Gender Pay Gap Bot @PayGapApp]

Behind brands' polished #InternationalWomensDay posts there's still plenty of work to do.

So on 8th March 2021 this account will tweet the gender pay gap of UK companies with more than 250 employees.

@StroppyPete @ColinStruthers @InnRedstone @RealStephenKerr Could one reason be that most of our vaccines are still Pfizer not AZ? (But why’s that the case - I can’t find similar data for England but I thought loads of AZ now?)

[Yingxin @yingxinj]

@StroppyPete @ColinStruthers @InnRedstone @RealStephenKerr Yeah I noticed this too, this is from PHS as of 18 Jan. I don’t understand why Scotland’s doing so much worse? “Remote” excuse seems lacking in evidence?

[🇺🇦Hong Kong World City☔️ @HKWORLDCITY]

‼️WOW‼️ Bruce Aylward/@WHO did an interview with HK's @rthk_news & when asked about #Taiwan he pretended not to hear the question. The journalist asks again & he hangs up!

She calls back & he said "Well, we've already talked about China."

ENJOY+SHARE THE MADNESS! #CoronaVirus

Good news - part 2 of our blog post on equivariance is here! @FabianFuchsML and I will take you on a deeper dive into the mathematics of equivariance in CNNs and beyond, at https://t.co/38Hm2Dc1xK

[Ed Wagstaff @EdWagstaff]

I've been working on a blog post about equivariance in machine learning with @FabianFuchsML! Part 1 is out now at https://t.co/2MThDw0Tkw.

@ThisAmerLife Surely this is crucial to determining whether there’s bias in the journals’ acceptance rates?

[Yingxin @yingxinj]

@ThisAmerLife This was interesting, but I was v confused by one thing: maybe I missed a bit but what proportion of researchers study invertebrates?

[North London Cares @NorthLDNCares]

Javascript, coding & html are on the agenda for neighbours in #KentishTown today as they enjoy a visit to @SoftwireUK. Younger neighbours are walking Myra, Peter & Alememdra through how to make a website, as well as speaking about what it’s like to work in software development.

@jennie_thibs @Radiolab @Radiolab Agreed! Caleb Chung said twice on your podcast that he makes AI dolls for future “mommies”, no mention of daddies. Please don’t condone sexism on your podcast.

@sainsburys my local Sainsbury's has switched to using plastic egg boxes rather than the normal ones. Why? And is this new egg box less eco-friendly? Thanks!

We've raised a rendering bug with @googlechrome v61 on Windows. Try resizing the display here https://t.co/kFY51gi5Sy - do you see it too?

@chilternrailway You have an awesome driver on the 9:36 Oxford to Marylebone- regularly and clearly updating us about the delays!
