Finally doing an #Introduction here. I'm Eric, and I'm a #data scientist working on #marketing and content analytics for a media company. Previously, I was doing #ComputationalBiology of the human #Microbiome using network-based methods. I have soft spots for #OpenSource software tools and data, #Education, #InformalEducation, #Healthcare, #Libraries, #Math, and #Museum. And lately, topics of #AffordableHousing, #Economics, and #Misinformation have caught my eye. Nice to meet everyone!

#silentsunday

(for new folks, this hashtag is a way to share a quiet, silent image on Sundays -- normally with no text - other than image alt-text, of course - but I wanted to make an exception today to explain the tag)

Since I joined here I notice I’m becoming more sensitive again to the snarkiness and aggressiveness that are characteristic of the Bird site after getting used to it. I think it changes you. Do I want to change back? #SundayThoughts

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

Lol I love when you see someone who's posting cool shit to a hashtag, then you go to follow them and you already do

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 and use principles to investigate how 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 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. 💚

Everyone, meet my feathered friend, Stormy. 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.

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.

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 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..
