totally digging the Twitter archiver that @darius made. dump your Twitter feed, give the archiver your .zip, and it creates a browsable website of your account -- you can share old tweets, search them, etc. i was able to dump mine & completely hollow out my account in like 2 seconds

Hellooo Mastodon!

Just migrated over here and wanted to give a brief #introduction - I'm a molecular biologist and data scientist working at EMBL in Heidelberg. I work on analysing and managing single-cell transcriptomics data, train other scientists in bioinformatics and research data management and I am a science communicator with way more projects than time!

Excited to connect with peeps over here :)

Meanwhile, over on that other social site...

@jeff

Great point. #twitter can no longer serve as a home for reasonable #Journalism #journalists , and in fact not for reasonable users in general. Electing Twitter as the platform of choice is an endorsement. Don't do it.

I am new to Mastodon and want to introduce myself. I am a scientist and professor with a background in #oceanography and #dataanalysis and #modeling. My research and teaching cover #ocean, #marine #ecosystems, ocean #acidification, global #carbon cycle, and #climate #climatechange. Also trying to contribute to positive change in the world.

Elon Musk cries wolf: His decision to make Twitter flag benign links to Mastodon servers as "potentially harmful" threatens to make us all less safe. https://www.pcmag.com/opinions/elons-mastodon-vendetta-makes-us-all-less-safe

I've read many requests to add Mastodon links to GitHub profiles for verification and discovery purposes.

My team is working on allowing you to add a number of social profile links, but given upcoming holiday vacations, it won't ship until the new year. We don't want to rush something out at the potential cost of disrupting what is generally a quiet time for our engineers.

Ordinarily, I wouldn't talk about in progress work on social media, but y'all seem like you can keep a secret.

The Need for More Formative Research in Edtech

We studied products focused on social-emotional learning, parent engagement, elementary math, Spanish reading comprehension, and teacher and administrator efficiency and administrative tools.

The types of studies ranged from usability studies to correlational studies and more.
