@JoannaG Possibly! I have you mentally tagged as significantly younger than me - but I think you’re actually only about a decade younger, so you’re having children at a not dissimilar time of life. My eldest is just turning nine.
@JoannaG Could be worse, Jo. People have assumed I’m my daughters’ grandfather more than once…
@ShirishMM You’re leaping ahead of me - but I’d expect no less of you! 😉
Hopefully I’ll draw out that point further in follow-up posts. But newsletters for non-newsletter people are an interesting discussion.

That’s about as on-brand for me as it gets.
@LynWhitfield @antonyslumbers Oh, better hand washing 100% - but her point is that sanitizer is basically an indiscriminate slaughter of the whole skin-dwelling ecosystem, including beneficial bacteria, leaving a lovely space for sanitizer-resistant strains to thrive and grow. 🤢
@LynWhitfield @antonyslumbers Sanitiser might be the least useful and most problematic of those (according to Dr T.): little evidence of fomite spread with COVID and we were already seeing issues with sanitiser-resistant bacteria strains pre-COVID. It might well be doing more harm than good.
@antonyslumbers Immunologist wife has been saying this for over a year.
@jaggeree He’s doing a bang-up job of ensuring that he (or his successors) won’t be in a few years, to be fair.
When even future of news people go, “oh, I’d completely forgotten about that”, you probably have an epic fail on your hands, even by the news business’s appalling hit rate with apps. twitter.com/MatthewKeysLiv…
Really enjoyed the latest @NewStatesman podcast — especially the last section on by-election candidate choice. overcast.fm/+FgMDDde6g
The problem with working on a MacBook Pro and an iPad Pro side-by-side is that I keep trying to touch the Mac screen…
Today is my “Max Vax” day — two weeks since my second dose.

@katebevan And immunologists. Don’t forget them.
