Re-#Introduction after moving to https://datasci.social 🥳

We are NERDS (NEtwoRks, Data, and Society), at #ITU #Copenhagen, researching #NetworkScience and #DataScience applications to #social systems. We are #interdisciplinary researchers who focus on #quantitative #research in #ComputationalSocialScience, #SocialNetworks and #dynamics, #MultiplexNetworks, #Sustainability, #Mobility, #DataViz, and #ComplexSystems.

We are also allergic to #bullying

Cheers!

I haven't seen the sun for 9 days, except for my flight home to #Minneapolis #StPaul when we were above the clouds. Maybe I took a wrong flight and am now in #Seattle or #Portland?

Sunset at Salk Institute today.

I'm senior researcher at #CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique) and #IPGP (Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris).

Working on #geology, #earthquake and sometimes #volcanic processes, related #hazards and risks, science communication…

I'm executive editor at TEKTONIKA https://twitter.com/WeAreTektonika (a DOA journal not yet on Mastodon), and advocate of #openscience, free #openaccess

Just moving from Twitter to Mastodon, and learning how to use it. Will keep the two accounts alive, at least for some time…

With this new twitter exodus surge developing looks like ill be at 30k followers by the end of the day. Who wants to celebrate with a beer?

The exodus is here
The happy ones are near
Let's get together before we get much older

Twitter wasteland
It's only twitter wasteland
Twitter wasteland, oh, yeah
Twitter wasteland
They're all tweeted!

Creating a "toot"! Hello, world #introduction #python #django #programming

A reminder for anyone new to mastodon who might not be happy with some of the racist and bad actors out there on other servers... Just import the fediblock list to your personal blocks and you will be safe from the vast majority of bad actors.

Growing up in suburbs, we were forced to believe the ability to drive was our biggest freedom in life. I’m glad I later realized that the truest freedom is $0 in car payments, $0 in car insurance, $0 in gas, $0 in parking and the wind through my helmet holes.

#Introduction I’m a professor of computational biology at UC Berkeley, leading a group that develops machine learning algorithms and web apps for genomics, molecular evolution, and synthetic biology. I’m also chair of the Berkeley/UCSF PhD program in Bioengineering. So I post about all that; but also about other random interests like experimental computer games, music production, silly jokes, linguistic nerdery, AI, politics, retro 8-bit coding, dadding, therapy, self-awareness, and so on.

Intro post: I'm a professor of #Biology at the #UniversityOfWashington. My training is in #EvolutionaryBiology, #BehavioralEcology, #PopulationGenetics, and #Epidemiology. I did lots of work in #Bibliometrics and #NetworkTheory. I teach #DataLiteracy. These days I spend a lot of time thinking about the spread of #Misinformation, the #ScienceOfScience, and #PhilosophyOfScience. I do a lot of #BirdPhotography and love #ravens, #crows, and all #corvids.

For your trouble, here's a perfect crow.

Hello science folks! #introduction

I am the Director of the Genomics Research Incubator (GRI), which is a collaborative research lab at Penn State (PSU) that serves to aid and enhance research by providing expert advice, guidance, technical training, and direct access to #genomics and epigenomics assays utilizing high throughput DNA #sequencing.

My personal research interests are focused on genomics and gene regulation in #hematopoiesis using mouse as a model system.

My #introduction!

I am a professor at Arizona State University. I have a lab, and we study the #evolution, structure, and function of #microbes that form beneficial long-term infections in eukaryotic cells. Mostly this means #bacteria that infect sap-feeding #insects, but we also run into #fungi every once in a while. We use #cellbiology, #genomics, and #biochemistry in our work.

I loved learning about new science on the bird app but hated the negativity. I hope this can be different.

Mastodon is is the 5th or 6th social media platform I've engaged with in a serious fashion, but it's been awhile since I had to start a profile from scratch. In the process I have relearned the one constant truth of all social media -- until you have accumulated at least 300-400 connections, the flow of information is going to seem skewed and limited, and you are going to wonder whether it is worth your time and effort.

Thus, echoing what others have said, you need to do more than just set up a profile and lurk, thinking an algorithm will direct information your way. You need to peruse the "Following" and "Follower" lists of people whose contributions you find interesting, then connect. Start with your local server and its Group and Profile directories (much easier to do from the web instance). Look for people you have followed on other platforms, and then look through their connections. The distributed nature of the fediverse (the so-called siloes that seem to cause a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth from people still clinging to twitter) can make it a bit more difficult to find and connect to people quickly, but patience will be rewarded. Take the time to dip into other people's timelines, and connect to those that maintain interesting and active feeds. You will quickly notice a perception of increased 'quality' in your newsfeed once you have a few hundred links.

Hellooo down there! I never gave a formal #introduction here so here we go.

I’m a former #astrophysicist turned #quantum lady. I design and implement classical & quantum #machinelearning algos.

I live in sunny #Vancouver, and in my free time I’m #hiking in the warm weather and #snowboarding in the cold. Mostly I’m on social media for goofs & nature pics but you’ll also hear me talking about #science, #Canada, #sustainability, #history, #progrock, #islayscotch, and my humongous cat Snufkin.

I'm finding it a bit hard still to find folks on here/interact much (probably because Mastodon is a bit messier on the app, and also since boosts are so frequent it's harder to see people's content on their profiles)

If you're a space artist, photographer or take cool photos of Scotland please let me know so I can check out your stuff!

Adding hashtags for good measure
#Astrodon #Scotland #MastoArt #spaceart #astronomy #sciart

Alright Mastodon let's do this.
#Introduction I'm Dr. Liz Haynes. You might know me as @actin_crazy on twitter. I'm a Morgridge post-doctoral researcher studying #neurodegeneration and #neurodevelopment using #zebrafish and #microscopes! I am all about #openaccess and #opensource solutions. I get to hang out with the cool folks working on ImageJ2 at the Laboratory for Optics and Computational Instrumentation (LOCI) at UW-Madison. Follow me for the pretty pictures, stay for the science!

#introduction #TwitterMigration

Hello Fediverse. We are the #Social #Neuroscience of Human #Attachment - #SoNeAt - #Lab led by PI @PVrticka at the #University of #Essex in #Colchester (#UK).

We investigate the #brain basis of human #relationships, #caregiving and #attachment using #MRI, #fMRI and #fNIRS #hyperscanning in #mums, #dads & #kids.

It would be nice to connect with other #academics, #researchers, #teachers, #practitioners, #journalists etc. on here 😀 .
