this is great! I'd add a password protected door to that lovely room with a view of the sky. 😀

A fabulous guide on how to use bsky (newbies like me might find it particularly helpful!!) .. thanks to Mark Rubin & Steve Haroz.

this is so super helpful! thanks... I will repost this (most folks here have been here way longer than me, so might not need it)

this has to be 'terrible maps'.

Newbie qn. ... does bsky have a DM feature? I cannot seem to find it.

If not, i hope they will add one. I did like that function on the other site (now made intolerable by musk).

I agree the disincentives are real .. but it is also true that many of our colleagues in the profession tend to deliberately undervalue research done in other disciplines. Point is - it doesn't matter if other disciplines do it. We can, and should, do better!
