📢New post on the Node - Developing news

Recent #SciTwitter discussions include: it definitely matters who does science, and there is a mental health crisis gripping science.

@Pjobphd @AstroKatie @hollie I would be interested to know what people find hard - because the generic complaint I hear is "it's too hard", but I've never heard any specifics (although I've not gone looking, tbh).

I think it's unfortunate, but not unexpected, that Musk broke the ability of people to transfer to Mastodon with their friends (as far as that was possible) which I think made my transfer easier - because I auto populated my follow list with several of the people I already followed...

My question here though is that #scitwitter took time to build because Twitter took time to build, but I suspect that with a following -- as a group moving to another platform -- for scitwitter folks is feasible because y'all can say "We're now moving over here" -- and if enough folks say they're moving, then people who are actually engaged will follow.

So I do question the idea that it will take years to transfer and build back up a following.

I'd also say that it's *very* clear that Twitter has become a firehouse of disinformation and from that perspective there's real urgency to getting people off the platform. By remaining there I think that people are doing a disservice to the people they're helping to inform as they're exposing them to more disinformation.

It's pretty clear that a lot of following on Twitter is very low quality without actual engagement, and I, like many, have found that because the people I follow or who follow me are actually interested in the stuff witter about then I get way more engagement on here than I ever got on the bird site.

Hey #SciTwitter I'm looking for a teaching assistant (#jobOpportunity) for a #MarineEcology course @BamfieldMSC this summer, preferably with an active SVOP from Transport Canada, for an awesome 6 weeks. DM if you're interested or know someone who would be! #BMSC

It's like, kind of noisy trying to keep up with all of you.

Hello #MedMastodon!

Another #medtwitter and #Scitwitter migrant here to introduce myself. I'm Edward, IM resident at WashU and aspiring GI doc passionate about #MedEd. My science background (and my heart) is in development, stem cells, and regeneration.

Hoping to connect with other #medmastodon #Sciencemastodon users!

@clathrin @StearnsLab It’s not about judging but the arguments that ‘as long as we continue to make it good here, there will always be #scitwitter’ echoes in a vacuum with all terrible things brewing on the platform- against science, truth, inclusion… it creates an illusion of an ivory tower (perhaps fitting for academics), protected from the sea of offal & awful that now :twitter: is awash with…

#SciTwitter - Think Northeast and MidAtlantic - which groups are doing super cool stuff in Dev Bio/EvoDevo that might not be on people's radars? Or are on radars, but have cool new stuff going on? Here's a chance to promote your colleagues!

@STCmicrobeblog Indeed, I'm trying to put interesting posts at Mastodon and not Twitter these days... I didn't expect that poll to fill all of #SciTwitter 's bandwidth all weekend!

But what I find threatening for scientific discourse and #scicomm in the #Fediverse, however, is that in contrast to Twitter, public conversations of scientists are in danger of being overlooked. Technical discussions can be permalinked because they are often preserved in dedicated forums, but #scitwitter could lose its appeal in the Fediverse, because conversations quickly become cluttered and scientific communities appear myopic, because no #algorithm boosts here.
