Dear students:

If you’re considering emailing a former professor just to check in and say hi, but are hesitant because you have nothing substantive to say, consider this an invitation to go ahead and send that email. It really means a lot.

Time for the first ever toot!

Apple custard, because it's fall and we all deserve the cardamom, cinnamon creamy apples.

Trying to figure out how to get an archive from Twitter to get this profile off the ground a little faster.

@tiffanycli also a good time to add your Mastodon address to your Twitter bio so your home here is discoverable.

It might be a good time to run #Debirdify or #Fedifinder one last time to find all the folks you were following or followed by on #Twitter who are now here on #Mastodon.

#RIPTwitter #TwitterMigration

Not that I don't love everyone who has come here on #MedMastodon but someone has to drag Dr. Sam Ghali (@EM_RESUS on Twitter) over here. It would be a huge loss not to have his weekly #FOAMed and #ECG cases.

I'm just a lab tech that had to do ECGs at my last job and I learned SO much from his tweets. I actually can tell when things are wrong now and can identify certain conditions. He's brilliant.

Someone has to have an in with him.

Hi #IDMastodon & #MedMastodon 👋🏻! I’m Beatrice, an ID doctor from Australia currently doing a #ICH fellowship at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and the National Centre for Infections in Cancer 🦠👩🏻‍⚕️. I love viruses, fungi, the immune system, memes, dogs, figure skating, and the Oxford comma 🧫🐶⛸. My handle is BeaCereus because this is my serious feed 🥁.

Is there anybody...out there

I’m liking Mastodon so far. But the downward spiral of Twitter is tough to watch. Twitter has been an essential source of information, organizing, and community for millions of people around the world and destroying it is a disaster that should not be allowed to happen.

Happy to connect here as professor, lab director, educator, and researcher. My lab (Brain, Education, and Mind - BEAM) studies the development and difficulties of language and literacy. Our methods include #neuroimaging (#fMRI) as well as #assessments. As a professor, I train future clinicians to understand students and identify areas of strength and challenge, especially relative to specific tasks. #introduce #introductionpost
