It's a sad day when even the Army people are less subservient to the Military Industrial Complex than the Politicians in the #US and the #EU who are ridiculous enough to continue fueling the War in Ukraine at the risk of seeing Nuclear weapons being used...
RT @aaronjmate: While Gen. Milley backs talks with Russia, a US official says that "the State Department is on the opposite side of the pole... That dynamic has led to a unique …

Should I join Mastodon? A scientists’ guide to Twitter’s rival

Conferences now became quite close-minded and elitist: the same people, year after year, polished presentations, barely any input at all. There are a few large ones every year, but they are expensive and quite limited number of people are allowed in. Which raises the question: does anyone know a platform or a website where one could post unpolished results and discuss them with other in hopes of feedback, corrections or even collaboration?

Listen to the powerful @HelenYaffe tell how #US has imposed brutal Sanctions on Cuba for over 60 years + still it's a world leader in fighting Climate Change. Illegal US Sanctions condemn vulnerable people to die in #Cuba #Iran #Syria #Afghanistan +more..

Decided to look at network stats again. There are 1M more people using #Mastodon today than there were on October 27.

print("Hello World!")

Hi there, I just wanted to write an #introduction since today I changed server.

I'm Claudia, from #Italy! I have a background in #Biology and after my undergraduate degree I chose to pursue a MSc in #Bioinformatics. My biggest dream is to study the relationship between genes and cognitive abilities and in particular, I'd like to contribute in the field of Neurodevelopmental Disorders in the future.

My main interests are: #Genetics #Genomics #Bioinformatics #DataScience #Statistics #NeurodevelopmentalDisorders #EvolutionaryBiology #AnimalBehavior. I am passionate about science communication books and I can't wait to share with you some of my favourite readings!

I live my life one struggle at a time thanks to #CrohnsDisease and my lifelong enemy #Dyscalculia. Yes, I'm a formally diagnosed dyscalculic wannabe data scientist, does that surprise you? Well, thanks to programming languages I can cope quite well! I'm learning #R #Python #SQL and #MATLAB

Other than science, I have tons of interests, from weapons and martial arts (#HistoricalFencing, #Iaido, #Kendo and #Archery) to videogames (especially cozy #Nintendo games like Pokémon and Animal Crossing). ⚔️ 🏹

My life is full of "A"s: I'm #Atheist, #Asexual and #Aromantic

I can't wait to find some interesting people to follow so if you are one, ⭐ this post so I can find you!

---
Just to clarify, I consider myself an absolute beginner both in biology and bioinformatics as I have little to no practical experience at the moment, so please don't take my opinions as if they come from an expert. If there is something I know for a fact, is that biology is complex so it takes more than a few years in university to truly understand it, that's why I never feel 100% confident with my knowledge - this is also why I joined qoto, I'm sure that reading discussions and asking experts will enrich my views.

The International Brain Laboratory is on Mastodon! We are 22 laboratories comprising experimental & theoretical neuroscientists. We collaborate to understand brainwide circuits for complex behavior. Looking forward to posting here! #neuroscience

Veteran's Day means a lot to me; but a few years ago it got way more personal. Returning a soldier's dog tag on Veteran's day in 2014 will stick with me until I pass away. Here's the story. #veteransday

I built this tool a year ago but I feel like Mastodon folks would like it

The "Weird Old Book Finder"

Type in a search query, and it'll find one randomly-chosen public-domain book that matches the query -- and present it for immediate reading: https://www.weirdoldbookfinder.net/

Why only one book? To prevent the paradox of choice! Just *start readin'*

Can't promise every book will be weird, but most are

A longer essay on how/why I developed it: https://debugger.medium.com/a-search-engine-that-finds-you-weird-old-books-3a74fbb5f3d4

This was a search for "mastodon"

C'mon, this is comedy gold.. how doesnt this have like 100 reboosts by now!
