New people need to be aware of key differences with the birdsite:

1️⃣ Use #hashtags: There is no full text search, only hashtags can be searched.

2️⃣ Boost (🔁) content that you enjoy for others to also benefit from it. It's the only way to make content more visible. With favs (⭐️), you just show your appreciation to the poster, or bookmark (still useful b/c 1️⃣)

3️⃣ Be careful with DMs, they work like advertised: content visible only to tagged people.

So here I am. Thanks @cyrilpedia for persevering with the mastodon-related tweets and lists of migrating tweeps. Much appreciated 🙏

Thrilled to share our new paper where we map healthy human kidney at the single cell resolution. We identify features of tissue-specific immunity & sex-based transcriptional programs
This true collaborative effort was made possible by the incredible patients & surgeons at #UHN. This work is a key reference for those examining immune and parenchymal cell states in various kidney pathologies or exploring regenerative medicine approaches

McKinsey's involvement in the Saudi effort to launder their reputation through golf sponsorship is almost as predictable as Trump's involvement.

OK, I have no clue how to use this but I am now here.

Meisel & Hinterleitner Lab is now on Mastodon https://www.meisel-hinterleitner-lab.com #immunology #microbiota

#introduction My name is Luca, I'm from Naples, Italy where I got my PhD in molecular medicine at the SEMM school. I'm currently a senior bioinformatician at the Centre for Genomic Regulation in Barcelona, Spain where I do analyses of NGS data and develop pipelines with nextflow, python, R etc I'm the main developer of MOP, the first nextflow pipeline for the analysis of nanopore data. I'm interested in everything about science and politics, I love cooking and a big fan of Napoli football club

I am addicted at some level so it's been tough to leave Twitter 100%, but Musk has dedicated the platform to pushing US GOP's fascist scapegoating of queer, Jewish & academic communities.

I've seen more major accounts leave today than ever. If we leave in enough numbers, perhaps it could eventually be sold/revived. For now, it's plain Musk is creating a version of Parler where he still gets to harvest valuable data on Dems, progressives, & groups that the GOP most wants to scapegoat & target.

So get ready 😎 ! If you are interested in #epigenetics #epigenomics #methylation data analysis #R and #ggplot2 in #cancer research, you should probably follow me before I start posting threads about it.

I hope to make it interesting and accessible to everyone here, regardless of whether you are wet lab scientists, bioinformaticians, clinicians or science enthousiasts.

Bring on the mucus!

Some of the replies to this on twitter are suggesting that science twitter is an important and effective counter to the musk-ox.

This could be, although twitter seems to always turn such opportunities towards polarization rather than useful engagement.

It is important to acknowledge that it gives legitimacy to the site and feeds the advertising machine, their main source of income.

Dear @altmetric@twitter.com , please start tracking more sites re: impact. Twitter can't be left with its monopoly on altmetric as the only major social media being tracked reliably
