For my #introduction on 🐘 - hi, I am Maia. I am a chemist and#TeamMassSpec by training but am pivoting into computer science. I am currently working on a graduate degree in Computer Science.
My research interests lie in #massspec, #glycotime, #proteomics, #bioinformatics and #machinelearning.

Things just seem so crazy today.
I mean, can you imagine say in the 1930s if the richest automobile executive in America was also a media owner who used his platform to encourage anti-Semitism and allied himself with a foreign dictator waging a territory-expansion war in Europe?

NEW: Mississippi’s largest health insurance provider is finally covering patients in-network at the state’s largest medical complex again after the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson and Blue Cross Blue Shield of MS announced an agreement.

After banning the JoinMastodon account, Twitter now calls links to many Mastodon instances "unsafe," including the one I'm on. Can't even post a tweet with a link, it's "potentially harmful."

Incredible garbage fire.

I wrote a much longer piece picking apart Musk & friends very, very, very bullshit defense of banning journalists. None of it makes sense.

If you're trying to find journalists on Mastodon, I've created a verified database of several hundred here: http://presscheck.org. Since the backlog has become enormous, the unverified waiting list is now public also: http://presscheck.org/pending

It appears Elon Musk had this Twitter Spaces discussion about his censoring of journalists shut down.

It didn't just end. The metadata and all the information about it was wiped.

There were upwards of 40,000 people in this conversation which was highly critical of him.

Hello Mastodon! I'm a Postdoc at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging who specializes in mass spectrometry proteomics. I'm interested translating science from the lab to the clinic to diagnose and treat age-related diseases! My most recent projects are aimed at understanding kidney injury, breast cancer, and brain aging.

Microbiologists are larger than one might expect.
