Auf #SocialMedia bezogen: Sind Elon #Musk, Mark #Zuckerberg und ihre privaten Plattformen vertrauenswürdig, integer u. benevolent gegenüber der Wissenschaft? 🤔

@che im Mai 2024 über #SocialMedia in der #Wissenschaft:

> "Nur 1/3 der Forschungsakteure… nutzen #X (ehemals #Twitter)…. Auf #LinkedIn sind es mit rund 10% noch weniger." ¹

Problem: Mangelhafte Orientierung über relevante Veröffentlichungen

➡️ Im #Fediverse lassen sich dafür mit 750+ #WissKommm-Akteuren in DE/DACH ¹ Lösungen finden!

Hello #FediScience, migrating from astrodon.social (about to close), I am joining you here (inspired by @wolfgangcramer), so it's time for a new #Introduction

I'm Alexandre Santerne (call me Alex), #astronomer working @LAM_Marseille & teaching at Aix-Marseille #University (France).

I'm expert in finding #NoPlanetB 😀 (#planets around other #stars).

I want to work in a #fair, #inclusive, and #sustainable #research #environment, so I (try to) act accordingly. I'm a member of @labos1point5

I toot a lot about #Astronomy, #Astrophysics, #Space but also a lot about #ClimateChange and #Climate.

Since 2019, I completely boycott planes, and I travel by #train (long distance) and #bike (short distance) as much as I can.

My other interests include #photography (visit my Flickr gallery in my profile) #Astronomy #Space

Oh, in case you don't know where Aix-Marseille is (trick: in 🇫🇷 ), the image below (credit: #NASA / JPL-Caltech / Space Science Institute) is indicating where I am, as seen from #Saturn...

... and where you also are, together with 8B people as part of 2M species 😀

Are we addicted to the internet—or just the stuff on it?
Dr. Mark Griffiths unpacks behavioral addiction in the digital age. Not the network, but the nudges.

> [C]ommunity boundary #blocklists [have] incited conflict on the #Fediverse, with many users left cut off from their communities …. Using … #GroundedTheory, we interviewed 9 Fediverse users, including a mix of community boundary blocklist curators, server staff, and regular users, to determine key tensions between community moderation and mutual aid practices

How about we try to enforce some kind of ‘Polarization Tax’?

Concept was mentioned during keynote on ‘AI and democracy’ by Lawrence Lessig (@lessig) and Moshe Vardi ( @vardi) at this event:

Dear #fediscience crowd: do you know any journal in the field of biodiversity conservation science that does not charge the authors / institutions for publication? (Diamond open access or green open access)?

Any ideas welcome!

Proud to have been a part of writting this review on the impact of climate change on the Alps.

My dearest mountains, the Alps, are already experiencing our influence.

Any effort we do today will pay back big for the coming times. Any effort we do today equates snow in our mountains for the generations to come.

Hello, here's my fediverse re- #introduction since I moved to #fediscience

I'm a computational biologist/bioinformatician, professor at UCLouvain in Brussels. I work with various types of omics data, with a special interest in #MassSpectrometry and #proteomics. I (co-)develop and maintain several #rstats and #Bioconductor packages. In addition to R, I use #emacs and #orgmode quite a bit.

Thanks for reading!

🆕 Essay: “Leaving the Nest Late—Why Evolution Never Trained Us for Planet‑Scale Survival.”

We’re primates trying to run an 8‑billion‑node civilisation while juggling nukes, CRISPR, AGI & a heating planet.

We sketch a realist, actionable agenda:
• De‑alert nuclear arsenals
• Universal DNA‑screening
• Frontier‑AI regs
• Tax the outrage feed
…and more.

Read & boost if it resonates 👉

I Like Electric Cars. 700-Mile Range EVs and Wireless Charging Would Make Me Love Them.

[S]olid-state batteries have can get 600 to 700 miles per single charge, instead of the current 250 to 400 or so. That is farther than most traditional cars can go on a single tank of gasoline.

Question for people who study #neutrinos :

Do you have a preferred funny nickname for neutrinos? If not, here are some ideas:

- Neuts (newts)
- Rinos (ree-noes)
- Trinos (tree-noes)
- Nuterinos (like Ned Flanders would say)
- Neu-nues (new news)
- Neu-nos (new noes)
- Tri-tris (tree trees)

I would make a poll, but their are too many choices.

@lassessostehen Natürlich ist es der falsche Grund. Aber an das Thema müssen wir ran. Welche Strukturen brauchen wir in Academia, um so wenig wie möglich zu fliegen?
Denn leider werden wir in den nächsten 20 Jahren keine klimaneutrale Lösung dafür haben. Was ja viele noch hoffen.
Am 30. April haben wir bei #S4F Osnabrück atmosfair zu Gast in unserer Vortagsreihe. Klimaneutrales Fliegen: Realität oder Illusion?
Ich poste das dann auch nochmal als Ankündigung.
