PHOTO BLOG: Earlier this month, a storm chaser from the Netherlands took a wonderful photo showing several textbook ice halos, including a 46-degree halo, a 22-degree halo with parhelion (sun dogs), and an upper tangent arc. https://www.accuweather.com/en/leisure-recreation/live-news/weather-permitting-photo-blog/933860
The whole Twitter quote tweet thing over here doesn’t make sense. First off, we don’t tweet here, we toot. Secondly, if you must do it simply post under a toot, and then boost your own toot. This way one doesn’t take over the original toot - they respect it. And by tooting your own horn you bring attention to the original toot and give it a wider audience.
Merry Christmas

Every year our card contains a picture that aims at inspiring moral reflection about the world we all share.
The photo by Metin Aktaş was taken during exhumation of bodies of civilians killed by the Russian army in Izium
(#Ukraine).

In the midst of our current winter storm, I’m amazed at the strength of these #Dakota #activists reminding #minnesota about the most shameful part of our past. Amazing reporting from #MPR (who should be on Mastodon but not yet)

There is an art to getting them all looking in the same direction. I don't know that it can be mastered.

As someone who was part of science communication / academia Twitter, QTs are so important to the way we do science outreach. It has really impacted the way I am able to impart things to the folks that follow me.
I can't just boost that nifty paper from Nature because that's not outreach. That doesn't help the folks that aren't in medicine understand what that paper means. I don't want to just boost information on vaccines, I want to talk about what's good about the information, what's not so good about the information. I want to point out what certain terms mean. I want to teach you about what I'm boosting.
I want people to understand my job in the clinical lab. How to advocate for themselves. Why this news article is bullshit and how to spot similar issues with the media blowing medical discoveries out of proportion. This is why QTs are extremely valuable. They help us teach.
@mhoye Well, there is a political solution: in France, a law from 2016 allows (public) researchers to open-access their own articles. Almost all science from France ends up as PDF on https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/
Some French universities even **require** their staff to open-access everything.
The only thing an editor can ask is an embargo of max. 6 months (12 months for social sciences)
This was not easy, but there is a big "open science" movement in France.

This cartoon is the most hilarious take-down of Must I have seen.
It's long, but trust me, you want to read it.
This still gives me good chills every time I listen to it. And I can listen to it over and over again. So powerful!

I check facts before I toot.
