Update:
The Severe Thunderstorm Warning has been lifted
Those thunderstorms mostly move away to the east, however for the upper and western North Island and down the Buller coastline, there may still be the odd clap of thunder overnight

A line of Severe Thunderstorms has been picked up on Radar just west of Northland rapidly moving eastwards (localised RED Warning area)
These storms have very strong and damaging wind gusts and may break branches from trees, damage roofing, and make driving hazardous

Applications are open for @AucklandUni Summer Scholarships - this year my project is focussing on complaint and universities if you know a talented undergraduate who wants to spend the Summer reflecting on @SaraNAhmed work and its relationship to NZ universities let them know

Working against structural whiteness can mean being excluded and isolated. Often, its clear that we are wanted for grants etc. but not wanted as colleagues. Ask yourself before you ask for grant support: When is the last time I asked this person how they are over coffee?
Samoan Scientist retweeted
I spent today working in 3 different MBIE papers, recording lectures, teaching live, and thinking about collective action to make our sector everything it promises us it is. The decision today reinforces that there is simply not enough hours in a day to fight structural whiteness
