Now they are leaving because “no longer lend our credibility to an organization that has lost its integrity.”
Proud to know these brave scientists!

Spent about 40 minutes creating my new website, and the prototype is exactly what I wanted.
I am free from the shackles of SquareSpace templates ⛓️💥⛓️💥 (and now have a new deadline for when I need to get my research portfolio up to date and live with my custom domain).

🧪 Some really important data points in here to share with others.
Over the past year, Bluesky has 5 million research posts (0.25% of the total traffic).
Compared to the 11.2 million research posts on Twitter (0.000006% of the total traffic).
