@nickopotamus we are here and we had some good banter while watching quali yesterday, just takes a while to find fellow fans I think. Also check out @F1

#F1 should just run a series with #NickdeVries and #NicoHulkenberg taking turns racing each other in each team's cars.

My youngest (9) did some good work at school so he was given the reward of being able to pick a song to play in class.

He chose Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up.

He came home today so pleased with himself that he'd managed to #RickRoll the entire class and teacher.

Hello I’m Katie! I’m a palaeontologist & geologist who loves rocks & talking (to anyone who’ll listen) about how awesome Scotland’s geological & fossil heritage is 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⚒
Meet Tealliocaris loudonensis - a wee 330 million year old fossilised shrimp from East Lothian 🦐 this crustacean once thrived in the brackish waters of Loch Cadell in the Carboniferous, back when Scotland lay close to the equator & experienced a hot & tropical climate 🖤 #geology #palaeontology

I have been fooling around with #crossposting and tooting & tweeting to test the SW.

You can #crosspost #𓅪𐃘𓃰 so that the test toots don’t mess with other user’s feeds by having the posts set to be direct messages to no-one on the Mastodon side. You get to see if it is working without bothering anyone.

If you are recently from the #TwitterMigration, as I am, it takes awhile to realize you are not shouting into the void here but in conference with others.

And ofc it is also good general #fediverse #etiquette to toot tweets as #unlisted toots rather than #public most of the time.

hello! #introductions are in order (edited for hashtags, oops)

🏥 I'm Hope, I'm a junior doctor in the UK and I'm not actually new to mastodon - but I joined for a slightly more public profile

🚑 interests: acute care, pain, event/prehospital medicine but above all, stories

💫 here to chat, make friends and learn cool stuff (and get some custom emojis #onhere?!)

@EmmaKennedy I’d very much appreciate a #boost, feeling very much on my lonesome over here right now! 🥺

Nice introduction to mastodon for beginners: https://www.theverge.com/2017/4/7/15183128/mastodon-open-source-twitter-clone-how-to-use

Hi! mastodon.social is being slow right now, as far as I can tell because there's twice as many people using it at the same time as ever have; I'm working on making it go fast again, but in the meantime, do remember to invite people to joinmastodon.org instead of directly to mastodon.social. People don't have to be on the same server to follow you! Thanks!

In case someone didn't know, two books I've co-authored are freely available online for non-commercial use:

#Bayesian Data Analysis, 3rd ed (aka BDA3) at https://stat.columbia.edu/~gelman/book/ and lectures plus #rstats, #Python and #Stan code at https://avehtari.github.io/BDA_course_Aalto/

#Regression and Other Stories at https://avehtari.github.io/ROS-Examples/ including #rstats and #Stan code

The web sites also have links to the publishers' web stores if you prefer hard copies of these

I little bit prouder today of my institution. MIT is hosting its own #mastodon server

mastodon.mit.edu

See you there soon

An #introduction to eLife's new Mastodon page!

We're an #OpenAccess not-for-profit journal that publishes and reviews #research in the life and biomedical sciences.

We want to improve the way research is practised and shared in part by working with early-career researchers #ECR and supporting #OpenSource technology.

We also just announced our new publishing model that we hope will tackle an overreliance on journal titles and publishing decisions as quality measures for science and scientists.

Hi all! I'm part of the #TwitterMigration. As an #Introduction, I'm a #Pulmonary and #CriticalCare physician and #Epidemiologist in #Pittsburgh. My research focuses on #Sepsis, #Syndemics, #GlobalCriticalCare #GlobalHealth with collaborations mostly in #Kenya, and relationships between community-level features and risk for sepsis. I'm a mama #WomenInSTEM, U5 soccer coach, lover of the #forest, skier, #Peloton rider, and music fan #soca #afrobeats #dancehall #bluegrass.

I asked AI to depict #ElonMusk's attempts to manage Twitter.

#introduction I’m Ed, a doctor training in anaesthesia and intensive care medicine in London. I recently finished my PhD on the responsible use of electronic health records for research in critical care (spoilers; it’s incredibly difficult to do well, these resources are full of bias, and RCTs are great for a reason). I’m passionate about #RStats and interested in improving statistical literacy amongst healthcare professionals. Looking forward to contributing to this community 👨🏻‍💻🩺
