While some people argue that scientists should remain on Twitter to try and reach, and hopefully persuade, the audience there, I ask you this: did you create a TruthSocial or 4Chan account to try and reach those people, or did you stay away because the audience is full of conspiracy-prone extremists who hate you? Twitter should absolutely be thought of in the same way now. And even if you want to stay, the algorithm is working against you.

We absolutely have one or two followers who are convinced of this point: you should stay on Twitter to fight the good fight. This paragraph by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social should disabuse you of that most Cuchulain-like attempt to fight the sea of disinfo. The algorithm wasn’t written for that.

Join us for a unique workshop that will give many diverse perspectives on how to approach experimental cell and developmental biology in the 21st century.

Spinger Nature Discovers MDPI – The Strain on Scientific Publishing Home page for the paper ‘The Strain on Scientific Publishing’ by Mark A Hanson, Dan Brockington, Paolo Crosetto and Pablo Gomez Barreiro

New from The Strain Team:
🎊 Springer Nature Discovers MDPI 🎊

Springer Nature has spawned a copycat journal series called "Discover" mimicking #MDPI journal titles and citation behaviours. We even made a browser game to prove it (see 🔗).

Gross! 😀 1/n

There are concerns that Bluesky's impact has faded since the initial hype. This is false.

That impression results from reading headlines about social media instead of the hard data.

The five HIGHEST points of Bluesky posts mentioning research all occur in the last 2 weeks.
