This is petty, cruel and shows the bizarre priorities of NZ First.
However, Health NZ can still be inclusive and technically obey this jammy little demand by jammy little people. Here’s my comms person take 🧵

Yes, #Tuberculosis (TB) is curable!
TB is treated with antibiotics taken daily for 4–6 months. ⚠️ Stopping treatment early can lead to drug-resistant TB.
Funding cuts & rising drug resistance put the most vulnerable at risk. Sustained support is crucial to #EndTB 👉 bit.ly/4ilkK1h #WorldTBDay

Amazing day seeing Hamlet at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon today, not sure if I’m more impressed by the acting or the fact we managed to keep up with what was going on 😅

I read a lot - let’s be friends on storygraph 🤓📚 (also on goodreads but trying to move away from using it so much)
Also need good book recommendations for 2025 - literary or fantasy/sci-fi fiction, and interesting memoirs or public health related non-fiction!

Accidentally timed my listening/reading of And The Band Played On with World AIDS Day. It’s fascinating hearing the scientific side of things and epidemiological investigation, but even more moved by the people who pushed for change and justice early in the epidemic.

Fantastic keynote by @nisreenalwan.bsky.social at the UK Public Health Science Conference @ukphsci.bsky.social .
Lots of thoughts for me as an epidemiologist about how we define cases and the harm that unconsidered ‘objectivity’ can have in our work.

If you haven’t seen this graphic on avoiding gender bias, read it. Ref letters are broadly biased in both major and seemingly tiny ways. The bias is avoidable once you’re aware.
