On Mastodon you need to follow quite a lot of people or you won't see much. Here's what I do:

1. See an interesting post.
2. Check their timeline. In their most recent few posts, is there something else I find interesting?
3. If yes, follow.

The tiny spirula spirula is a species of deep-water squid-like cephalopod mollusk. It is the only extant member of the genus Spirula, the family Spirulidae. Because of the shape of its internal shell, it is commonly known as the ram's horn squid.

I forgot my #introduction.

Hi, I'm John. I work for UCSF in the Division of HIV, ID, and Global Medicine. I primarily work on #HIV projects in East #Africa, but also work on #COVID19 projects in #SanFrancisco. But my comments are only my own.

Previously, I worked for health tech startups including One Medical. My education background is in #epidemiology, biomedical #informatics, #biology, and #chemistry

In my free time, I volunteer with a #MarineMammal rehab org.

What religion is this because I'm interested

Been curious about the age distribution of Mastodon users.
Internet polls are known to be the most reliable method for any such estimation.*

*Trust me, I went to grad school in statistics.

Please boost to increase precision of the point estimate and to reduce confidence intervals.

Photosynthesis is nearly 100% efficient. A quantum experiment shows why

To make a system 100% efficient usually requires some very special laboratory setup.

But photosynthesis does it too, and the bizarre key is quantum disorder.
