I start as Assistant Provost and Director of the UGA Griffin campus on January 1, 2023. Because of the new job, my twitter account of seven years was going to be mothballed anyway, so this was the perfect time to explore a new platform.

Woah - German government has got its own Mastodon instance and most of the ministries and many agencies already have accounts.
Verification problem at least partially solved - just need to check the domain is right!
I've also seen newspapers like theatlantic.com set up instances themselves. Looks like verification will be worked out sooner or later.

Pretty cool news! While protein phosphorylation is well understood in proteins, where it is known to have important regulatory functions, this post-translational modification had never been found in RNA. This may open a new field of post translational modifications in RNA #science #biochemistry #RNA #archaea #microbiology https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-01021-6

Here's a lil thread of things I *wish* somebody had told me when I started advising #STEM #gradstudents as a lab head, #PhD program director, and grad school conflict-resolution officer. Or maybe they did and I wasn’t listening? 🧵
