Bluesky Engagement & Science Communication
Less noise.
More curiosity.
That’s Bluesky.
Founders here can have real convos about science, policy, and innovation, without fighting the algorithm.

Breaking Down Regulatory Wins
IND clearance? Great.
But don’t just post the acronym.
Explain it: what happened, why it matters, and what’s next.
That’s how you pull people in.

Why Bluesky is Perfect for Life Sciences Thought Leadership?
Small platform = big chance.
On Bluesky, your insights aren’t buried.
Share industry takes, R&D lessons, and founder thoughts now.
Shape the convo early.

Funding News Isn’t Enough.
“We raised $10M” gets a like.
“We raised $10M to make treatments faster for patients” gets remembered.
Funding is a story.
Make people care.

What Bluesky Teaches Founders About Trust?
Trust is built when you share wins and lessons.
Don’t just post polished updates.
Show the pivots, the struggles, the reality.
That’s what sticks here.

#FounderJourney
#Biotech
#Transparency

Way to Make Complex Science Engaging
Try this:
❌ “85% efficacy in murine models.”
✅ “Strong results in mice bring us closer to patient trials.”
Clear beats clever.
Every time.

How to Share Clinical Milestones on Bluesky
“Phase 1 complete” is boring.
Tell a story: why it matters for patients, what’s next for your team, and why the field should care.
Milestones are stories, not bullet points.

Bluesky vs LinkedIn: Where Should Founders Focus?
LinkedIn = reach & investors.
Bluesky = early adopters & authentic convos.
Smart founders play both.
Build trust here, visibility there.

Why Founders Struggle with Translating Science to Social Media?
Your research won’t reach people if it reads like a paper.
Strip out the jargon.
Clarity wins attention, not complexity.
On Bluesky, founders who simplify win.

Fascinating work, though I’d argue the real takeaway is about infrastructure, not just detection. If dogs are picking up unsafe levels, the water system’s already failed both species.

Sobering numbers. This level of mortality matters because:
- Coral structure loss means instant habitat loss for marine life.
- Dead coral shifts reef chemistry, making regrowth harder.
- Tourism and fishing economies take a direct hit.
Bleaching isn’t just an ecological crisis, it’s economic.

Totally get the frustration, but I’d add that sponsorships like this are exactly why we need stronger guardrails on corporate involvement in science outreach. Without them, “educational” events risk becoming PR platforms.

Completely. Those updates aren’t just academic, they drive:
1. Early variant detection for public health response.
2. Guidance on vaccine strain selection.
3. Hospital readiness planning for surges.
👉 Data gaps ripple far beyond the CDC dashboard.

3 questions to ask before every post:
- Will this teach my audience something new?
- Could this spark a comment or DM?
- Does this show my thinking clearly?

If yes to all three, it’s a lead magnet.

Old authority:
Job titles and long bios.
Polished but distant branding.
Announcements only.

New authority:
Consistent public thinking.
Sharing progress as it happens.
Showing, not telling.

Experts teach. Authorities demonstrate.

Most founders chase leads on LinkedIn because that’s where “everyone” is. But attention is noisy there. On Bluesky, your ideal partners, investors, and early adopters are easier to spot. A focused community is often worth more than a crowded one.

Imagine pitching your company without any slides.
Just story, relevance, clarity.
Could you do it?

#pitchpractice

#biotechclarity

You don’t need more likes.
You need more people DMing you saying: “That post made me think.”
Optimise for impact, not applause.

#socialselling

Founders who wait for 'traction' to start posting will miss the people who could’ve helped build it.
Visibility is a growth lever.

Biotech isn’t boring.
But the way most founders explain it is.
If your post wouldn’t make a curious 16-year-old stop scrolling, try again.

Your target audience doesn’t care about your PhD.
They care if you can solve their $10M problem.
Talk to their priorities, not your credentials.
