@physicssteve beyond the shits and giggles, here a pretty damn straight assessment of what #galactica is by @ct_bergstrom
Wow. Thanks to galactica.org and the suggestion by @physicssteve, I guess that teaching got a lot easier for the second half of this winter term 🤩🤣

Preserving the twitter follower graph
Here's how it works: the aim is to create a graph of who follows whom on twitter, keyed to ORCID ID numbers. The data are freely available under the CC0 license.
If you were/are a member of #ScienceTwitter, please add your information by going to https://opencheck.is/scitwitter and confirming your twitter handle and ORCID. I've done it myself, as have many of my friends, colleagues, followers, and followed.
Footage of an MDPI editor accepting papers for their new special issue.
Today, I will opt out of any #MDPI email communication. Yet another email asking to peer review work that's clearly out of my expertise was the drop that filled the bucket.
Not to speak about the perpetuum mobile giving you vouchers for publishing your own work after you have reviewed something.
Not to speak about the insane amount of "special issues", one of which I was recently asked to co-edit while there's an ongoing one on exactly the same topic edited by a colleague.
No more words needed when you see the attached figure which I shamelessly stole from this fantastic article recommended by a friend.

Disclaimer: I'm not saying there's nothing wrong re: publishing culture in science in general but #MDPI is really pushing it here
This week, the world’s human #population is expected to reach 8B. About 109B people have lived and died. Each grain of sand represents 10M.

Three identical harmonic oscillators, starting with different initial conditions, and their phase-space representation (x is displacement from equilibrium, p is the canonical momentum).

Decided to look at network stats again. There are 1M more people using #Mastodon today than there were on October 27.
#PhD students of #Mastodon, I have created a Mastadon group for sharing PhD-related posts using @phdstudents when posting a PhD student toot. Let's help the group to grow and share our PhD student experiences.

Neat work out of 🇫🇷,🇨🇦

Hybrid quantum inertial sensor that "... emits a steady signal at the rate of a classic sensor but with 50x greater precision made possible by #quantum measurements"

Can you spot the difference?
