Hello Fresh Nz replaced broccoli with my hated vegetable silver beet (shudder). And I was just saying how I liked not having food waste. Well I do now because they can’t make me eat that. Yuck!

Doing @BionomiaTrack attribution work & I get a thrill seeing "R/V Tangaroa" (she isn't French!) My Dad @andrew_leachman captained that vessel "month on, month off". If I had a list of voyages he went on I'd be able to work out whether he & his crew helped collect this specimen.

Thanks Siobhan! I love connecting people and their work on Wikidata. And I’m really keen to see what connecting people from the NZ thesis project to their work in the UK might reveal! E.g. Do we have strong links with particular institutions in particular subjects?
