I’ve been feeling completely stifled on social media lately. It’s felt a lot more performative then a space for authentic conversation. Curious how this platform will evolve. @mguhlin shared his best tips but dying to learn and work with /from others who work in #Tech #edtech #ux #edreform #education #ai on ways we can create better solutions for #students in #k12 - please connect or recommend others to connect with me ! #EduTooter @edutooters
I'm looking forward to winter biking. It won't be long before we get snow in northern Minnesota.
Seeing admins sharing their statistics (user growth, storage space used, bandwidth usage), I think is important to showing everyone what it takes to run a service for a community.
It pulls back the curtains at that work in IT, systems administration, networking engineers, programming, and similar occupations do in a tangible way.
Also (for better or worse) why some popular online companies go through as much money as they do to keep things running.
omg between the civility and the plethora of science people, I’m in HEAVEN here!
Let me introduce myself! My name is Ilenna Jones, I am a computational neuroscientist with keen interest on how dendrites contribute to a singular neuron's ability to compute functions and learn tasks. I build biophysical models of neurons in #pytorch and use #deeplearning principles to investigate how #neuron models can learn and compute given their biologically realistic constraints.
I'm looking for postdocs right now! Feel free to connect if you're looking for someone like me!
I'm very interested in helping other students find resources and guidance as they consider science and #neuroscience in general. Feel free to connect if you're looking for advice/perspectives!

Now that I have moved instances, time for a re-introduction! I am a #LawProf at #McGillUniversity where I teach & research #IntellectualProperty #patents #innovation #trade #GlobalHealth using #transdisciplinary methods (qualitative & quantitative). I have a particular passion for how #OpenScience partnerships contribute to innovation, such as in areas of #MarketFailure like #PandemicPrepareness #AMR, #RareDiseases & #PediatricDieseases
Hi! Just so you know, I'm happy you're all here. All the new folks, all the old folks, all the folks in between. Whether you've been in the #fediverse for years or are part of the #twittermigration, you being here is why this works.
So thanks, and I hope to continue seeing you around. 💚
Time to learn myself some #embedded #programming
@kevin -Thank you!
Everyone, meet my feathered friend, Stormy. #StormyTheBudgie You’re going to see much more of Stormy in the future. For the few of you who choose to follow me, hopefully the weird hashtag will help you find other posts with Stormy and my birds later, if you are so inclined. For now, Stormy says “Good Night”. It’s been a long day. #parakeet #petbirds #birdsofmastodon #birds
I'm also new to the all mastodon here. I'm going to just jump in. #followme for Digital stuff, social media listening stuff, data analysis and definitely some funny stuff.
@paulkaiser - We are all in it together!
I admit I don't understand social media. I never have. I feel I'm a participant in an ongoing experiment along with everyone else who partakes, no matter the platform.
For those who've been on #mastodon for years, I want to acknowledge that I, along with many others in the Twitter exodus, have abruptly entered your digital world. I am sure that brings forth many feelings and concerns.
While I would like to call Mastodon my new social home, I know I'm still a guest in a digital world forged by those who invested in it long before my arrival. I appreciate any suggestions or advice from the community on how I can better fit in to the customs and expectations that have made Mastodon a welcoming "federation".
I don't know how long I'll be here, but I'm excited to interact with the Mastodon community during my stay. It is my hope we can find a collective balance that allows for wide reach, small community feel, and personal control/choice.
My Veil Nebula. This one was a 2 panel, about 20 hours per panel. 10 hours each panel of 5nm OIII and H-a Astrodon filters for a Bi-colour finish. Taken through my Sky-Watcher Esprit 100mm Apo.
Mosaics are not really my thing, matching the panels was not fun. Haven't done another since..
:)
Well hello there Mastodon! I am new here, and don't understand anything about this. But I do understand a lot about #astrophotography !
Here is my most recent image, to start with a bang! This is the Rosette Nebula, shot with OSC, edited as Hubble Palette.
Let's see how this new medium will carry on. May the night be with us!

Hi there, I just wanted to write an #introduction since today I changed server.
I'm Claudia, from #Italy! I have a background in #Biology and after my undergraduate degree I chose to pursue a MSc in #Bioinformatics. My biggest dream is to study the relationship between genes and cognitive abilities and in particular, I'd like to contribute in the field of Neurodevelopmental Disorders in the future.
My main interests are: #Genetics #Genomics #Bioinformatics #DataScience #Statistics #NeurodevelopmentalDisorders #EvolutionaryBiology #AnimalBehavior. I am passionate about science communication books and I can't wait to share with you some of my favourite readings!
I live my life one struggle at a time thanks to #CrohnsDisease and my lifelong enemy #Dyscalculia. Yes, I'm a formally diagnosed dyscalculic wannabe data scientist, does that surprise you? Well, thanks to programming languages I can cope quite well! I'm learning #R #Python #SQL and #MATLAB
Other than science, I have tons of interests, from weapons and martial arts (#HistoricalFencing, #Iaido, #Kendo and #Archery) to videogames (especially cozy #Nintendo games like Pokémon and Animal Crossing). ⚔️ 🏹
My life is full of "A"s: I'm #Atheist, #Asexual and #Aromantic
I can't wait to find some interesting people to follow so if you are one, ⭐ this post so I can find you!

Just to clarify, I consider myself an absolute beginner both in biology and bioinformatics as I have little to no practical experience at the moment, so please don't take my opinions as if they come from an expert. If there is something I know for a fact, is that biology is complex so it takes more than a few years in university to truly understand it, that's why I never feel 100% confident with my knowledge - this is also why I joined qoto, I'm sure that reading discussions and asking experts will enrich my views.
This most recent #Fiji M7.0 earthquake is not as close to the bottom of the local #intraslab seismicity as the previous deep #earthquakes a few days ago.

Behold the #FirstLight of a new instrument called the #KeckPlanetFinder (KPF) on the #Keck 10-m telescope in Hawaii. The image is a rainbow (or spectrum) of a star named 51 Peg, made famous in 1995 as the first sun-like star known by humans to have a planet. KPF effectively opened its eyes to 51 Peg. And it did so on Carl Sagan’s birthday, November 9. Read more about how KPF will improve our searches for all those incredible things just waiting to be known: https://keckobservatory.org/kpf/ #astrodon
