We had the very first research lexicons call today, to discuss interop & standards for research applications! 🎉
(think @standard.site but for science 🧪)
With @mariaa.bsky.social @wesleyfinck.org @aaronstevenwhite.io @byarielm.fyi @ronentk.me
Reach out if you want to be part of these discussions!
We had a great chat with @paperstarsorg.bsky.social yesterday, exploring new kinds of social media based review tools and more collaborative research ecosystems!
#ATScience
List of interesting ATProto projects with legs:
- @margin.at
- @anisota.net
- @semble.so
ATProto is a marvelous way of managing global scale intelligence. Margin/semble are great for that.
Anistota is pretty + nice to use.
The articles that people are bookmarking on @semble.so are high quality. It's quickly becoming my go to place to consume dev content
1/ Excited to share that @exgenesis.ingroup.social and I are joining the upcoming "Big if True Science" (BiTS) program! BiTS is an accelerator at Renaissance Philanthropy for scientists & technologists to design ambitious R&D programs. Our “Big if True” hypothesis is >
part of our theory of change for enabling new forms of collective intelligence at @cosmik.network: creating positive feedback loops to elicit the "beneath the iceberg" sense-making signals, like what articles you've been reading/enjoying
"the crucial step in crisis engineering is to re-establish a common view which corresponds to reality – to restore sense-making. Once that step has been taken, actually solving the problem becomes a tractable task, and without it nothing is going to work" -- @dsquareddigest.bsky.social
February updates for @cosmik.network & @semble.so !
Including @central.comind.network @funferall.bsky.social @uppy-hacker.bsky.social @tgoerke.bsky.social @o.simardcasanova.net @hacdias.com @bmann.ca @caleb.jasik.xyz @atproto.science
@semble.so is so cool idk how they have less than 300 followers
The agenda for #ATScience is up! Check out the speaker list and full schedule below 👇
The range and quality of proposals we received really exceeded our expectations - thanks to everyone who submitted something!
March 27, Vancouver - can't wait to see you there ✨
Sessions include >
Result flow chart showing 130 claimed experiments (colors: blue, green, purple, and gray).
📣 We’re building a new kind of infrastructure for scientific work, where ideas don't get lost, experiments get claimed and completed, and new researchers can hit the ground running. For 40 months, the @matsulab.com has piloted this approach. It's working!

What if *researchers* could reserve the rights to their research, not the journals?
Maybe with the help of @atproto.science ?

Following just dropped in Semble 🫳🎤
You can follow other users *and* collections 🥂
1/ Finally wrote up “The Story of Mendeley”! Most people know the tool, few know about its rise and fall. The Mendeley story provides important clues for how to build self-sustaining AND non-extractive knowledge commons, which is why I think it deserves more attention 🧵
I decided to start an open @semble.so collection to curate more examples/inspiration for "extreme citizen science": semble.so/profile/joel...
cc @ronentk.me
really putting the *collective* in collective intelligence

It was nice to work with the @cosmik.network team!
You can see your Semble cards and collections on Margin, and even use the Margin extension to bookmark and collect to Semble!
Try it out: margin.at

@margin.at interop just dropped in Semble 🤝
Your Margin bookmarks now show up directly on Semble ✅
The Atmosphere has no walled gardens 🌻
Happy cross-pollination 🐝
More details on how it works below 👇
One of our New Year’s resolutions was to start sharing monthly updates, so here’s one for January!
We’re very excited to have @smcgrath.phd present “Reigniting the Party: Lessons from a Stalled Migration to Bluesky” at #ATScience! The talk will detail an effort to migrate the @amia.org community to Bluesky. Scott will share lessons learned and outline revised strategies to rebuild the network! 🧪
“In a physical world of .. printed journals, bundling made sense. In a digital world, we are increasingly constrained by boundaries that no longer make sense. In a world of AI, what does the bundle prevent us from seeing?” 🎯
Great piece by @row1.ca on unbundling research into modular knowledge! >
Digital Places collection page showing an open collection by Alice with one saved item about Slow Net, a project exploring slow networks for privacy protection
Edit Collection modal dialog with fields for Name (Digital Places), Description (about a shared excavation of the web), Access Level (Open - Anyone can add), and Cancel/Save buttons
Coming soon - open collections 🌱
New AI science tool by Open AI openai.com/index/introd... - great motivation for why we need movements for open, community stewarded infra like @continuous.foundation @atproto.science @cairos.network rather than extractive data grabs by big platforms
Semble search is now live, adding a powerful discovery layer to Semble! Check it out at semble.so/search
Here’s what makes it different >
Knowledge is a'ssembling 🌱 @semble.so
Interop in action! 🤝
Books, videos, research, code, and more.
Whatever you’re in the mood for - you can now filter by media type!
Try it out: semble.so/explore
The projects list at atproto.science/projects/ is now using a @semble.so collection as data source 😎 So the page will update automatically when we add new projects to the collection, no need to edit any website html!
semble.so/profile/atpr...
Yes! It will be so cool when people's "now reading" pages are on protocol (like www.ribbonfarm.com/now-reading/)
