A snip of my profile. Banner image incldes Arendt, Durkheim, Fanon and others drawn rouglys on eggs in Black and White. Profile picture is me in front of some autumn leaves. Key descriptive text identifies me as a criminologist working on atrocity crime. At the bottom, highlighted by a big red arrow is my ORCID ID: 0000-0002-7463-1302

A snip from my ORCID profile page - at the left is a list of institutional and other links to social media, including one to Bluesky, highlighted by a big red arrow.

Academics wanting to 'verify' their Bluesky profile as genuine might give an ORCID identifier in their profile and link back to their Bluesky profile from ORCID.
