In this episode we muse about the role of the military in a world without war. What comes next for these highly trained individuals and groups? How might they turn those skills toward new types of community service?

🇮🇷 😶 Panel discussion: Online #censorship in #Iran

What role does online communication play for the protesters? How are Iranian activists manoeuvring the digital space and its limitations? Which implications do sanctions have for the activists in Iran? What is the responsibility of international tech companies in providing secured communication channels?

Hi All,

I haven't been here for a long time, since migrating to my own personal instance, but wanted to poke my head in since the migration and see what's going on:)

Oh, I've apparently been working at PCMag for 10 years this week.

Huh. Well. Hmm.

I'm teaching a workshop for PhD students next week about using social media to for #scicomm. I'm going to add a slide on Mastodon - what advice would you offer for early-career scientists sharing their work on here? What do you think are the pros and cons of using Mastodon for science communication?

Just got tone-policed and told I should go back to Twitter by someone who joined Mastodon… *checks notes*… three days ago.

Welcome to the fediverse. Please leave your entitlement at the door. Thank you.

*smh*

I remember Mastodon being a quiet place, an exclusive club with only a handful of members. Now, look at this place!

We're starting to get some data on the @Raspberry_Pi hosting this instance.Would you rather see ...

#introduction
Hi I am Erik. I am a computational biophysicist/-chemist at Uppsala University, Dept of Chemistry – BMC. My interests are broad, and span a multitude of artistic subjects as well, where 3D modelling and rendering is becoming increasingly relevant for me as it combines well with my endeavours in the molecular sciences. Music and Brazilian Jiu Jistu are also close to my heart.

❤️ A special thanks to our Mastodon community

Many in vitro #CRISPR knock-in approaches use small molecule drugs to improve the efficiency of homology-directed repair, but these drugs may or may not be safe in vivo. In this paper from #NatureBiotechnology, the authors find that an FDA-approved therapy, fludarabine, can be used for a similar purpose. Still a long ways to go before any genetic knock-ins are routinely done in vivo, but making progress toward doing so safely: nature.com/articles/s41587-022 #science #medicine #GeneEditing #AAV

Yes, it's possible to make artificial gravity with a spinning spacecraft - but there's a big problem if the size is too small - the Coriolis force.

Gotta say, #Mastodon reminds me of a more curious, more fun era of the internet. Send me cool science / tech / art / music links and accounts. I'd like this moment to last a bit longer.

An intersectional festival about collective practices & free technologies production.

#OFFDEM started as an Off festival of #FOSDEM to protest surveillance capitalist sponsorship and the lack of conviviality. But since OFFDEM kept happening while FOSDEM went online, OFFDEM have diverged substantially -- although it remains on its initial positions against the #FreeSoftware #Community takeover by corporate interests.

Let’s try this again. Where you at #fediverse? Boosts welcome so we can get the best sample size.

'Young life science researchers are leaving academia at unprecedented levels for lucrative jobs in the private sector. Like Gorashi, many of them are entering graduate programs already knowing they don’t want to remain in academia long-term, making their time in the ivory tower a pit stop rather than a final destination.'
