Reality isn’t made of stuff.
It’s made of relationships .

"Put simply: #ScienceTwitter used to be both fun and professionally valuable, and now is neither.

Accordingly, the second iteration of this paper no longer recommends the use of #Twitter for fisheries scientists and management professionals,
or, frankly, anyone."

- David Shiffman, Ph.D.

We're just migrated from another instance, so here is our (re)introduction:

Neurofrontiers is a bilingual blog about interesting neuroscience topics that tries to be accessible to the broader public while still maintaining scientific accuracy. It's run by a team of two people: a computational neuroscientist, and a graphic designer. We think that being on social media allows us to stay up-to-date with the most recent discussions in science and hope to be able to connect with like-minded individuals.

Realized today there was a time (circa 2016-2020?) when #ScienceTwitter was an amazing resource for career advice. Long threads re: “how to apply for grad school”, “what to expect in a chalk talk”, and other highlights from the hidden curriculum.

A practice to revive as we settle in new places?

Research misconduct claims are growing. Will new rules help universities investigate? https://www.statnews.com/2024/09/20/hhs-research-integrity-new-guidelines-on-scientific-misconduct-allegations/ #research #science #sciencetwitter #ethics

The Open Science Network demo at #Fediforum will focus on three key questions:

- What features are missing in federated spaces to effectively access scientific content and news as in the first wave of #ScienceTwitter?
- Which open data sources should be aggregated to merge a scientist's social and professional presence in a single meaningful profile?
- What are the missing features to enhance scientific discussion, collaboration and production in a federated environment?

@BeAware Yes but if they do that it works well. Anyway it's a significant first step to be readable?
& if people wish to interact, they can do so in one place rather than in the fragmented conversations that would result from cross-posting? #bridgy seems capable of reuniting the lost worlds of #ScienceTwitter.

Hire me to characterize phylogenetics and ecophysiology of cyanobacteria?

This is my first job search since Twitter changed to X, and the migration to Mastodon.

Any advice for finding postdoc positions here?

Ever wonder what makes glue so sticky? It's all thanks to #polymers! These long, chain-like molecules form the base of modern adhesives, creating strong, versatile bonds that hold our world together. #ScienceTwitter #Chemistry

#ScienceTwitter is dying, long live #ScienceMastodon!

Do #MachineLearning algorithms perform as we expect? To assess this, CMS exploits Machine Learning again!

“Thousands of scientists are cutting back on Twitter, seeding angst & uncertainty.”

That survey with only a 5% response rate went viral & got me wondering about other evidence & how the #ScienceTwitter #MastodonMigration was panning out.

So I updated my study tracker & wrote a new post @PLOS : https://absolutelymaybe.plos.org/2023/08/20/how-is-science-twitters-mastodon-migration-panning-out/

tl;dr There's been a big recent surge here; the future of #ScienceMastodon looks bright; ScienceX is materially diminished tho the network is still there.
