See that small white dot just left of center, you may think it is Venus shining in the evening sky, but it is Earth as viewed from Mars.

Every person alive is in that one pixel.

I thought it was important I share this picture of a #squirrel with a #donut in its mouth to the entire #Fediverse because when I posted it to #Twitter, it got one like. And I know #Mastodon will not allow such injustice.

Meanwhile, in the bastion of #FreeSpeach

Over 1000 researchers are now on #Mastodon and have their handle on #Wikidata!

#Debirdify is a pleasure to use. Please advertise your fediverse handle on your birdsite bio/name if you want to be found.

rumor is this may be more of a "twitter is falling apart" issue rather than an intentional quashing of mastodon links. evidently a lot of random, mundane links are being marked as "potentially unsafe"

@jodietheyer I know who will likely take it, but I do not support that idea, I’d much rather one of Merc boys or Charles did 😭

Masks provide protection to students and school staff. Lifting mask mandates increased #Covid cases per NEJM study.

I really have to say, of all the mass exodus onto this server we had over the years, this is one of the best. the quality and kindness of our new users are absolution exceptional. I appreciate all of you and welcome to the sane part of the internet!

In my opinion, criticisms of mastodon being unusable by the general public are over blown.

#Introduction
Hi all, I am finishing up a postdoc at Stanford focusing on #AI for healthcare, with interests in fairness, explainability, and deployment. Previous to this, my PhD was in genetics with a particular focus on genomics and pharmacogenomics in understudied populations. To combine these interests in the future, I hope to use multimodal data to solve problems in healthcare. I am also a board certified #dermatologist and see patients when I’m not doing research.

Obligatory #cat picture for all my new future friends as I start on a new social media! This is Joy.

I like polls. (I'm a #datanerd.) An easy one:

Musk's Twitter will mostly...

It is sad to see #Twitter go the way it did. For many users who make their #introduction here this is not easy. A lot of lifeblood went into it #Twitter which may still turnaround. But these are highly non-linear processes & #mastodon #twittermigration may just take off.

So how to deal with this emotionally?

For me, #poetry helps and provides some consolation to remind ourselves of the bigger picture.

"Steps" by Herman Hesse.

Fascinating development now that @Nature@twitter.com has set up a Mastadon account. Will the #science community be moving over? Remains to be seen. https://sciencemastodon.com/@nature
