Bluesky is the new destination for X/Twitter’s health and science community. Here's why #MedTwitter is migrating en masse from X to Bluesky, suddenly making it an essential hub for scientific discourse. Here's why.

"migration of MedTwitter, along with a large cohort of science journalists, to Bluesky striking in its scale and rapidity" www.statnews.com/2024/11/21/b...

Almost ready to delete toXic Musk socials. Feel I need keep it to check in on the opposition.

bioRxiv has launched a pilot to provide AI-generated summaries for all preprints thanks to ScienceCast. We hope this will increase a preprint’s reach.
Feedback welcome below.

The Supreme Court Is Headed Back to the 19th Century The justices again appear poised to pursue a purely theoretical liberty at the expense of the lives of people of color.

There are some pieces where despite the volume of evidence I’m worried I’m being too strident. But often they end up aging pretty well https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2018/09/redemption-court/566963/

How Easy Is It to Fool A.I.-Detection Tools? We tested five services that claim to detect what is real and what isn’t.

Whatever you do... do NOT move to Daly City. I'm not sure what the definition of a sunny day is any longer.

Welcome @richardsever.bsky.social to Bluesky! Richard is a long-time editor, the Assistant Director of Cold Spring Harbor Press, and co-founder of bioRxiv and medRxiv. One of the most important forces behind the biomed preprint revolution! And has a deep understanding of academic science culture. 🧪

If there's one piece of advice I could give to folks newly arrived from Twitter, especially if they have large follower numbers there, is that Bluesky ain't Twitter. It's smaller, weirder and less impressed with "celebrity." Get out there and reply to comments, make new friends, and enjoy the vibe.

I'm interested in how it can be used in a somewhat mobile experience. Would you be able to walk around a museum and get background information regarding a show? I'm assuming you would have to toggle back and forth in the see-through mode.

Hello World! Nice to be here. Really looking forward to seeing if this will be the best place to share science, art, and opinions.
