Academics in psychology, neuroscience, cognitive science, etc.: I've created a repository for our accounts to help people find and bulk-follow each other on mastodon:

Please let me know if you want to be added!

#feditip: add .rss to the end of most pages you see on a Mastodon server to get an RSS feed for your RSS reader.

Level 2: go about your day without internet, then in the evening settle down at your Computer Desk with a nice cup of tea to RSS-digest the day's shitposts.

Level 3: Aggregates your RSS feeds into epub format. Load the output onto your 2000's e-ink e-reader via USB cable. Sit in an overstuffed armchair with a nearby lamp, say aloud "Ah, yes, today's internet" and sip your port.

Hello! I have been permanently suspended from Twitter for this:

If you're still on #Twitter, please include a link to your #Mastodon or other #Fediverse accounts in your profile 👍 Or post and pin it.

This would make it easier for people to find you here.

#introduction hi all 👋 I'm a neuroscientist turned full time science writer who's always been interested in animal communication. Studied songbirds in undergrad + grad school 🐦, now focused on relaying science in interesting and accessible ways as a PIO at Duke/the Institute for Brain Sciences 🧠

Word nerd in my rapidly diminishing spare time -- NYT x-word (Sun - Thurs), devout Susie Dent fan, wannabe professional Scrabbler.

Mastodon reminds me of why I used to like social media back in my early blogging days on the ScienceBlogs network.

Forums weren't intended to inspire outrage or spread disinformation.

We jumped in because we were genuinely excited to share things we were passionate about, build community & share ideas.

I'm super excited that, so far, #Mastodon has a similar feel of goodwill & enthusiasm. #TwitterMigration

I feel an exceptional sense of imposter syndrome when I start reading through some of the intros by contributors on this qoto server lol.

I promise, at worst, I'll offer images of my dog as currency to keep up with everyone.

I’m a #climate optimist. And our numbers are growing.

Doomism is popular in the media & on the birdsite bc stoking fear & panic generates shares, clicks, RTs & follows.

I’m pleased the model at #mastodon is different & not about making impressions but finding community. I’m excited to continue the climate conversation here w reasons for hope. #twittermigration

Here’s my perspective https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/no-climate-change-will-not-end-the-world-in-12-years/

new blog post -- hypothesis testing by example #rstats #statistics #statsed

if you teach stats, i highly recommend giving this problem in intro stats course! it's also fun to try on your own 🤔 😊!
