There is now a Mastodon instance for publishing scientists: FediScience.

Everyone is welcome from PhD student to professor, as well as researchers from outside of academia. You are welcome to stay afterwards, but it is also easy to change to another server.

There will be a lot of science talk on this server, but there is no need to only talk science

Boosts are appreciated to let others know about this new instance.

@lyrabon asked us to post this, as our computer is better about captioning images than hers

lmfao

Due to shortages of necessary supplies, we are suspending travel to the human world until we can secure a reliably supply of #Ivermectin for our citizens.

@lyrabon, both of you are still covered by your last doses, right?

Even more hashtags to look out for:

#BandcampFriday - Discussing interesting artists on Bandcamp

#BreadPosting - People showing off their latest baked creations

#MastoDev - Suggestions for improvements to the Mastodon platform software

#Mosstodon - Photos of moss

#SmallStories - Fiction small enough to fit into a toot

#SportsBall - Talking about sport of any kind

#TokyoCameraClub - Japanese photography hashtag

Reply if you have suggestions!

pro-tip: Most power supplies manufactured since the FCC stopped giving a shit about radio interference are literal noise factories. If you're having an issue with some equipment try moving it away from any power supplies and check if that helps the situation.

The wikipedia page about humans doesn't say anywhere on it that it was written by them, which imo is a conflict of interest

Your periodic reminder that if something is labeled "limited edition" or "collectible" that it probably isn't.

Good science produces verifiable claims which reproducibly hold. Which of these sciences is a better science?

Reply with your reasoning, or if you think there is a worse contender that should be in this list.

Unconscious heuristics / mental shortcuts serve us not because they work in favour of our high-level goals most of the time, but because they do not sabotage our basal goals (survival, social status) most of the time.

while I'm at it, your CW of "non-tech" or "birdsite" is *utterly useless*.

first off, it is a ridiculous concept to warn people there isn't technology in your post.

More importantly, it provides *zero context* to the reader of what the content /would/ be.

Please stop that, and use your words.

I consider nuclear missiles to be offensive weapons, quite offensive indeed, in fact I am personally offended by their existence.

They are a social faux pas and I think it is very gauche, indiscreet and actually boorish to display them in public.

In my opinion, bad things almost always start as tools for countering other bad things.

Please enjoy this photo of a wild horse I took.

The existence of draft horses strongly implies the existence of Final FINAL rev1 (copy) (backup) FINAL3 dot horses.
