It's here! "Polar metabolomics using trichloroacetic acid extraction and porous graphitic carbon stationary phase". The 2nd paper from Frankie Day's PhD & 1 of only 3 in the literature applying porous graphitic carbon stationary phase for #Metabolomics. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

It’s NOT MEN dying in pregnancy And anyone who is pregnant is a WOMAN (includes girls who may be pregnant which if you understood safeguarding is a red flag) women are dying and we wasted money deleting our words NHS services have shut down while we spend money on deleting and diluting our words

NHS abandons weird idea that evidence-based medicine is just an opinion. That and more wonders from the first day of Adam Doyle's evidence to Redvers v NHS Sussex: genderblog.net/nhs-exec-ske...

There are only 2 sexes & there can never be more. This isn't a matter of cultural convention, social belief, or political preference. Sex is not defined by one’s identity, social role,... chromosomes or genitalia... Sex is defined by gametes." doi.org/10.1007/s105... #SexMatters #ScienceMatters

My absolute favourite flower. 🤩

Italian hibiscus. Hibisci? Hibiscuses? Pretty flowers.

For context, here is how this pervert is being used to deny women and girls their sex-based rights. genderblog.net/peggie-v-rcn... #SexMatters #ScienceMatters

German chemist Dr. Ida Noddack co-discovered Rhenium (element 75) in 1925. She died #OTD in 1978. She was the first to propose the concept of nuclear fission (1934). Her theory was met with fierce skepticism and outright dismissed by contemporary physics giants. But 4 years later...🧵 #WomenInSTEM

Important response to the draft conversion practice bill from Gay Men's Network: "This bill is broad, unnecessary and offers poorer protection to gay people than existing laws. It is a bill about gender ideology, not gay rights." cdn.prod.website-files.com/6a3cfe99e7bc...

Two years ago, I joined the Tairāwhiti Ngutukākā Trust to celebrate one of NZ's rarest plants in the wild (as rare as kākāpō). Each of us was gifted a few seeds (from the wild plants, not the commercial variety), and this is what happened in my tiny urban garden.

My daughter just took an English written CAA exam at school. The exam was completed on a computer. The exam interface had a *spell checker*. I am dumbfounded.

‘I don’t know what sex my mum is’ is weapons grade gibberish dressed up as sophistry. Absolutely mental.

Father's Day adventure to Te Waha and White's Bay.

West Auckland man jailed for 13yrs after raping young daughter; sexually abusing & filming friends during sleepovers. This guy's daughter went to the same sports training as mine. Don't think I've spoken to him but its an example of how they walk among us. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/crime/fat...

So tell me again why women are supposed to welcome these people into our spaces.

The prestigious journal Nature has an editorial on Jason Arday, blaming everyone but him on his downfall and death. Nobody is exculpated, including the media, Cambridge, and the rest of us. They don't mention his fabulism beyond the accusations of plagiarism. whyevolutionistrue.com/2026/09/03/n...

A New Zealand journal deleted a paper for potential harm to Māori months after publishing it retractionwatch.com/2026/08/19/n... #ScienceMatters

I knew this would be bad, but it's awful. Malpractice even. I'll limit my criticism to 9 posts. The Herald have added together the gross debt of NZ public & private sectors and called this debt 'we collectively owe the world'. Pure unadulterated nonsense. Literally untrue. [🧵1/n]

Post something random or you’ll have an awful September.

They always like to quote post a gotcha. It’s never about truth but winning the argument. The pink triangle was for gay men not lesbians.

Okay, this might be the largest inflorescence I have ever seen. In Auckland Domain. I couldn't get close enough to get a pic of a single flower and they haven't opened yet.

Politicians need to learn to do politics. The aim is not to advocate for your utopia. The aim is to win. Kamala Harris gave America to Trump for the second time with this absurd nonsense that had virtually no support, let alone a majority, in any electorate. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamala_...

US Democrats don't understand that this man, and his trans-identified cousin, are why they lost the last election. If they lose the next I think it will probably be for the same reason.

These are primary sex characteristics. The article also implies variations in secondary sex characteristics (breast size, hairiness, voice, etc) determines whether we’re male or female. This is just sexism.
