Yep, SAD is common there because of lack of sunlight in winter, as reported by an #NZtwit who went and lived there for a few years.

One thing I miss about Twitter is being able to ask a question like "Did ANZAC troops on the Western Front in WWI paint kiwi or other symbols on their Brodie helmets?" and actually get relatively regularly expert input.

The Fedi rocks. But it's very fractured 😔

Does any #NZtwit remember the name of that guy who used to post a heck of a lot on Twitter and he’s in academia, maybe worked for a CRI, sometimes wears a black hat like Terry Pratchet, uses an olde English pseudonym like Aetheylraed? We were at an eScience conference together maybe around 2009 and maybe another time at a data science retreat with Dr Mik Black and Prof Peter the partner of Helen Clark.

Wow, how many names have I forgotten.

I want to confirm a story he told us.
