The opposite of impostor syndrome and self-doubt doesn’t have to be arrogance.

You can recognize your qualifications while still seeing you have a lot to learn.

You can recognize that success will require hard work while still seeing you are capable of exceptional things.

@smaideman Can you imagine if all laws were enforced based on fear of how the criminals would react? Yikes.

@jentaub this model is the future. Like minded group can crowdsource a server and join the larger 'fediverse' if desired. Will not be subject to whims of some plutocrat.

Disinformation alert! With more absentee ballots and votes by mail, along with rules that prohibit early counting, we should not expect to know election winners immediately. There is nothing suspicious about taking time to count every vote.

Women suffragette posts are going around today, understandably! Let’s be more inclusive and historically accurate. #vote That’s the beauty of today: we can fix the wrongs, or start to.

RT @CopernicusECMWF: Anthropogenic emissions account for about 60% of total methane emissions to the atmosphere.

Domestic ruminants & manure management as the main contributor with around 30%.

Ahead of #COP27 we bring you key aspects of this elusive & omnipresent #GHG

#introduction
Hi! I'm the Director of Communications at ORCID. If you're in research, you may know of us: we uniquely identify & connect researchers & innovators to their affiliations and contributions across disciplines, borders, and time.

I have a long history in #SciComms. When I'm not doing that, I'm working on my first novel or planning my next concert adventure.

I love ORCID's values of Openness, Trust, and Inclusivity. I'm also keen on kindness & collegiality which is why I'm here. 😀

After yesterday's kick off Ocean:ICE meeting, I had the long and rewarding but alas rare experience of after meeting chats with 2 senior PIs in the project who are also #WomenInSTEM. In fact this may be the first time ever that has happened. Lots of interesting science and we compared experiences that seem all too common in all our careers, I genuinely believe there are (good) changes coming to how academia works though.

> Instead of trying to legislate mis/disinformation away, we should instead be looking closely at how is it possible that it spreads so fast. We should be finding ways to fix the media funding crisis; and we should be making sure that future generations receive the mental tools that would allow them to cut through biases, hoaxes, rhetorical tricks, and logical fallacies weaponized to wage information wars.

To supplement my last toot of 800,000 years of CO2 data, here's a graph of the past 2000 years for CO2, methane, and nitrous oxide (all greenhouse gases, measured in parts per million) again showing the effect of human activities driving up the concentrations. These are the gases driving #climate change.

It would be truly hilarious if everyone here who can afford it signed up to support #Mastodon for $9/month (which is what you pay when you do $10/mo annually.)

I won’t pay Elon to monetize my content and show me adds while he lets Nazis harass us.

But for no ads in a place where Nazis actually get booted? That’s a bargain. https://Patreon.com/mastodon

One of my favorite images taken with the Curiosity Rover's NavCams. Taken on Sol 3324 as the rover made it's way through Maria Gordon Notch.

Republicans have a compelling partisan interest in securing Elon Musk’s control of a leading communications hub for journalists, and have responded companies pausing their ads on Twitter by threatening the firms with political retribution. https://www.mediamatters.org/twitter/gops-corrupt-bargain-elon-musk

Hi, this is Greta. You are welcome to follow me here, if you prefer planet earth to planet mars.

It's true!

I have Mastodon on one tab and twitter on the next.

I am truly a different person when I go from one to the other.

I become angry, sarcastic on twitter.

Calmer, more open, constructive here.

Amazing.
