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.

Twitter is a land of free speech! So long as you don't say anything bad about the king.

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.

The jet is currently parked here.

Microbiologists are larger than one might expect.

So, yeah, if we take these two stories in combination: Elon is (a) demanding that everyone who uses Twitter hand over their live location info to him and (b) has now banned anyone from posting the live location of anyone.

"To try to prove our own brilliance scientifically (before we are replaced by machine learning) is a challenge few editors would be able to resist, and we were no different. We thus set out to test our ability to predict citations of unpublished research papers submitted to The BMJ."

Welcome!

Announcing papertooter. Papertooter is a simple script that takes the URL of a biorxiv preprint, and posts the title and link to the paper on Mastodon using the Mastodon Python API. It also posts a unique hashtag it generates from the paper's DOI.

Feature requests and bug reports welcome.

What a tragedy that this good man, who has devoted his life to public service, who has made mistakes and learned from them, and who still expresses a profound understand of America’s public-health problems, should remain a target of vitriol from the worst among us. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-04432-7

I will have PhD and RA positions open very soon. There's quite some flexibility for young researchers interested in experimental and #bioinformatics approaches in #MassSpectrometry #proteomics and #singlecell.

Please boost and spread. Feel free to get in touch.
