Hi, my name is Christian.
I just joined mstdn.social and would like to #introduce myself #Neuhier .
I am a researcher at the Philipps University of Marburg, where I run the Core Facility #ExtracellularVesicles . I mainly work on tumor-associated vesicles and am interested in developing new methods and defining biological functions.

If you're trying to find journalists on Mastodon, I've created a verified database of several hundred here: http://presscheck.org. Since the backlog has become enormous, the unverified waiting list is now public also: http://presscheck.org/pending

As you may have heard, in addition to permanently suspending the accounts of several national journalists & the official #Mastodon account:

#Twitter now also flags links to many popular Mastodon servers as 'unsafe'.

After going through this list of journalists and start following some active ones, some of them working for big newspapers and magazines, I wonder which big #journalism organization is going to be the first to have their own #Mastodon server.
This can even facilitate the issue of verified profiles on centralized websites, since here each profile can be easily identified via the institution domain. Somethings like @john@mstdn.nytimes.com, @mary@mstdn.bbc.co.uk etc.

NB I hadn't realised that @biorxivpreprint also incorporated the possibility of adding a graphical abstract to the preprint page, kudos to @richardsever et al

For everyone joining the #fediverse in this next wave of the #TwitterMigration, here are a few of my favorite #feditips:
- #Hashtags are a must! Use them and follow the ones that interest you.
- #Follow lots of people, then trim back if you need to.
- #ContentWarnings are a kindness, but how/when you use them is up to you.
- Use #filters to make your feed/life better.
- Everyone here loves an #introduction post.
- #Favorite = You like the post.
- #Boost = Others should also see the post.
@warkittens I've heard a bit about this from other HCWs. Do you think some of it could be a batch effect from delayed diagnosis?
"During systemic Salmonella Typhimurium (STm) infection germinal centers are absent, whereas extensive extrafollicular switched antibody responses are maintained. The mechanisms that underpin the absence of GC formation are incompletely understood. Here, we show that STm-induces a reversible disruption of niches within the splenic microenvironment, including the T and B cell compartments and the marginal zone."

No warning. I report on Elon Musk and other topics for The Washington Post and will keep doing so because free speech and transparency are important for the world.
In the last few days I ... wrote about Elon Musk. I posted links to publicly available, legally acquired data as well as links to Mastodon, which also now is banned on Twitter.
Elon Musk is free to ban whoever he wants from Twitter, just like people are free to take their speech somewhere else.
'The underlying causes of this quadrupling in diabetes prevalence since the 1980s are multifaceted and include rapid urbanization, increased availability of highly processed, calorie-dense foods, and climate change, each of which has contributed to fundamental shifts in population-level dietary and physical activity behaviors. These shifts have resulted in perturbation of complex gene–environment interactions in populations that may have been previously naive to such risk factors. With approximately 75% of cases of type 2 diabetes occurring in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), this raging metabolic epidemic also highlights widening gaps in health inequities on a global scale.'

Twitter has also suspended the account of its rival, Mastodon.
⚠️ And look at this tweet I just tried to do but which got rejected - look at the reason: Twitter doesn't even allow you to link to Mastodon in tweets now...
All more reasons for you to join Mastodon...

Live-cell imaging of EB3-GFP tagged is amazing. Enjoy and follow the plus ends of microtubules (yellow) in the network of tubulin (magenta).
Happy #FluorescenceFriday !
