#Introduction
I am a space geek, amateur radio volunteer W7KYG, citizen scientist and computer nerd. This is my main account and 
I mostly follow people who toot about #Science #Technology #Engineering and #Maths (STEM) topics that interest me including:
#SpaceExploration #SpaceSettlement #SpaceScienceFiction #Astrobiology
#Astrophysics
#Astronomy
I specialize in data migration services for a living but you won’t see me mention much about that here from this account.
I live in Arlington, TX USA

@zleap @pomarede For me on my mastodon ios app, I can see a follow button when i clicked on a hashtag. Here is a screenshot.

@zleap @katecoldwind @kityates I work in health and social care (in business support/IT, not treating patients) but I see at first hand the problems that are occuring - the govt keeps outsourcing/privatising various parts of healthcare but not even providing sufficient funding, creating a crisis where no one wants to work in the industry as they can get better pay and conditions even in retail jobs or driving taxis etc (with less stress and travel requirements)

BREAKING: #Meta prohibited from use of personal data for advertising

Max Schrems: "Instead of having a 'yes/no' option for personalized ads, they just moved the consent clause in the terms and conditions. This is not just unfair but clearly illegal. We are not aware of any other company that has tried to ignore the GDPR in such an arrogant way."

Gotta love this Finally!

#podclast The oldest known Earth stuff that remains on the surface of our planet is the mineral zircon - referred to by geologists as "Time Lord" because it's so incredibly good at keeping geologic time 💎

This Massive Wall of Galaxies Is Lurking Beyond the Milky Way

Cosmographers’ goal is to map out the observable universe, and from their findings we can not only learn more about the structures that make up everything we can see, we also gain insight into the things we cannot see!

The immune system’s surveillance of #cancer can itself induce metabolic adaptations in the #cells of early-stage #tumors that simultaneously promote their growth and equip them to suppress lethal immune responses. The researchers also used #CRISPR genome editing to screen 2,078 metabolic enzymes in the tumors of mice

If you have a friend or acquaintance that you always enjoy spending time with & always say: "We must do this more often!", then consider making 2023 the year that you actually do it.

Sometimes there is a great deal less "more often" available than you might think.

Great summary & graph that explains the levels of scientific evidence.
