Do you want to be part of extremely hardcore #quantum sensing 2.0 with long hours and high intensity?
@physicssteve beyond the shits and giggles, here a pretty damn straight assessment of what #galactica is by @ct_bergstrom
@quantum_purva @AndreasAtETH I strongly recommend #tusky, at least on Android it's great!
Wow. Thanks to galactica.org and the suggestion by @physicssteve, I guess that teaching got a lot easier for the second half of this winter term 🤩🤣

Preserving the twitter follower graph
Here's how it works: the aim is to create a graph of who follows whom on twitter, keyed to ORCID ID numbers. The data are freely available under the CC0 license.
If you were/are a member of #ScienceTwitter, please add your information by going to https://opencheck.is/scitwitter and confirming your twitter handle and ORCID. I've done it myself, as have many of my friends, colleagues, followers, and followed.

@alexpghayes Check out the blog post linked in the post below. My advice: don't do it

Footage of an MDPI editor accepting papers for their new special issue.
Today, I will opt out of any #MDPI email communication. Yet another email asking to peer review work that's clearly out of my expertise was the drop that filled the bucket.
Not to speak about the perpetuum mobile giving you vouchers for publishing your own work after you have reviewed something.
Not to speak about the insane amount of "special issues", one of which I was recently asked to co-edit while there's an ongoing one on exactly the same topic edited by a colleague.
No more words needed when you see the attached figure which I shamelessly stole from this fantastic article recommended by a friend.

Disclaimer: I'm not saying there's nothing wrong re: publishing culture in science in general but #MDPI is really pushing it here
This week, the world’s human #population is expected to reach 8B. About 109B people have lived and died. Each grain of sand represents 10M.

@EXIT_FAILURE did you craft this by hand or is it some sort of machine? Looks awesome!
#PhysicsFactlet (Just made this for a lecture, so I thought I would put it here too)
Three identical harmonic oscillators, starting with different initial conditions, and their phase-space representation (x is displacement from equilibrium, p is the canonical momentum).

Decided to look at network stats again. There are 1M more people using #Mastodon today than there were on October 27.
