Excited to invite you to a panel I'll be on next week w/ @richardsever.bsky.social @joelchan86.bsky.social! We’ll discuss the future of open-access, new modular research tools (eg @discoursegraphs.bsky.social) and the role of social media in scientific discourse (@cosmik.network @atproto.science ..)

Very excited to share our (long overdue) writeup from ATScience 2026 in Vancouver! Tagging our long list of credits/mentions in the thread - huge thanks to everyone who made this happen!

We’re excited to post this update from our new @leaflet.pub - the Cosmik blog has officially moved to the Atmosphere! 🎉 Also - so many great community contributions last month 💙

"If only there were social web spaces specifically for scientists 🤔 where could we find such a thing." - @renderg.host bsky.app/profile/rend...

New grant awarded to the Nanopublications project to build a federated graph of scientific claims with #Fediverse integrations! Great to see similar patterns playing out across open social protocols - bridging informal discourse on social media with more formal science publishing methods #ATScience

I created 33,547 non-bsky records this year across 73 lexicons. Here are my top NSIDs: 1. "fm.teal.*" (28,674) 2. "network.cosmik.*" (1,480) 3. "net.anisota.*" (1,130) 4. "so.sprk.*" (542) 5. "social.popfeed.*" (341) See your summary here: anisota.net/harvest #OopsAllTeal #TealFmIsntReal

I've been gesturing towards the idea that: 1. Groups can be smarter than individuals 2. Proven in other fields and species 3. Social protocols + sensemaking make it buildable I'm trying to gather papers, books, etc that lend precedent or otherwise support the idea Open contributions via @semble.so

"we now must reimagine our existing institutions and create new collaborative structures...Our information and media ecosystems must shift from attention-fracking to collective sensemaking. We need media architectures that support deep understanding and dialogue rather than polarized echo chambers."

Sublime essay by Otto Scharmer - a "drop everything and read" moment for me “More than $2.5T is projected to flow into AI in 2026 alone, yet the human side ... — the cultivation of sensing, relating and sensemaking — receives almost none of it. This is soil depletion at a civilizational scale.”

Calling all Zotero-using scholars! 📢

Intriguing work by @nandi.uk applying AI to @semble.so data for synthesis - a direction we're excited to see being explored more!

@airglow.run + @continuous.foundation oxa.dev + @discoursegraphs.bsky.social + @scios.tech mira.science + @semble.so connections + ... = modular science revolution 🚀

From Social Networks to Sensemaking Networks @ronentk.me unpacks what he and @cosmik.network are up to... www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ew0C...

Our April updates are out! (Sorry we're a bit late - in a busy stretch here) On launching @semble.so connections, and lots of community contributions 🫶 "Sense is being made" -- @joebasser.com

This is a call for submissions with Atmosphere written all over it! @cosmik.network @atproto.science @atmosphere.community I wanna see lots of atproto submissions!! #funding #openscience

Brainstorming how to build/fund the future of science publishing and communication on @atproto.science with @exgenesis.ingroup.social 🤓

Come hear @ronentk.me speak tomorrow @ 11am ET about new research tooling in the #ATmosphere #ATproto!

@ronentk.me sees a version of the future I think is viable and would want to live! Excited for this!

If you attended #ATScience last month (either in person or remotely) we’d love to hear from you about your experience so we can better shape future events and the ATScience community more broadly. The survey takes about 3 minutes. Every voice is meaningful! Thanks 🙏

Also very resonant with our @cairos.network initiative ✨ blog.cosmik.network/introducing-...

The connection works like a recommender algo: if you liked A, you might like B. But where algos are opaque, here there is a human-to-human quality - I see exactly who made the connection for me and can thank them for the serendipity they provided. Let the karma flow! 💫

Lab knowledge base on Semble spotted in the wild 👀 @stamina-workgroup.bsky.social

What would social media look like if it were designed for sensemaking rather than just engagement? Excited to be presenting @semble.so & @cosmik.network at @stamina-workgroup.bsky.social on April 28 @ 11am ET! The seminar is open to the public so feel free to join at www.complexdatalab.com/stamina/

Interesting piece claiming that the asymmetry between writing acceleration and review acceleration is breaking science. Essentially Brandolini’s law (The amount of energy needed to refute bs is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it) applied to science publishing >

We Can Just Connect Things

Annoucing Semble Connections: A new way to organize, curate and discover content in the open social web 💥

Want to see the #ATScience talk recordings? We're collecting them here! (most are there, still working on a few)

like almost every day now I see someone connecting a card of mine in @semble.so to something else. Either another collection or to another card while marking the relationship. Are.na has a bit of that for me sometimes but it's mostly just moldboards. Seeing the relationships between cards is so cool

March updates! @atproto.science and AtmosphereConf, @ronentk.me joined the BiTS accelerator, new Semble features like faceted following and faster card saving, plus exciting community contributions and cross-app integrations with @chive.pub and @skyreader.app Happy Spring 🌻

Check out our two AtmosphereConf talks about @semble.so! Main conference - "Rediscovering the Magic of Trails"

Back from a wonderful week in Vancouver! We're proud to have been co-organizers of #ATScience & first major sponsors for #AtmosphereConf ! We're excited to continue contributing to the growth of this wonderful ecosystem 🌱 Re-upping @bmann.ca 's thanks slide here and adding the @atproto.science crew

Yes! Sometimes simpler is better... What if we just went back to reading a bunch of books and sharing our lists with each other ( on @semble.so ;) )

#AtmosphereConf was absolutely epic but we really needed to get outdoors touch granite today 🏔️ Sembling in the wild @ronentk.me @pouriade.com @wesleyfinck.org

We've been working hard co-organizing #ATScience and we're so excited #AtmosphereConf is finally here! Come say hi and check out our talks and events :) -> Rediscover the magic of web trails at our AtmosphereConf @semble.so lightning talk ✨

Great to be back together IRL! In @z-space.ca Vancouver for #ATScience & #AtmosphereConf @ronentk.me @wesleyfinck.org @bmann.ca @pouriade.com

You can now save articles from @skyreader.app to your @semble.so and @margin.at collections!

Another community theme has hit the #AtmosphereConf website 🥳🎉 Check out @semble.so, thanks to @pouriade.com for submitting!

We're very honored to have @row1.ca & @matsulab.com as keynote speakers at #ATScience! Rowan & Matt will share their vision "Towards Modular Open Science" on moving beyond isolated papers toward a world of modular & interoperable research objects, leveraging #atproto as a decentralized backbone 🧪✨

Have you ever wanted to just [[connect]] your bookmarks before?

We had the very first research lexicons call today, to discuss interop & standards for research applications! 🎉 (think @standard.site but for science 🧪) With @mariaa.bsky.social @wesleyfinck.org @aaronstevenwhite.io @byarielm.fyi @ronentk.me Reach out if you want to be part of these discussions!

We had a great chat with @paperstarsorg.bsky.social yesterday, exploring new kinds of social media based review tools and more collaborative research ecosystems! #ATScience

List of interesting ATProto projects with legs: - @margin.at - @anisota.net - @semble.so ATProto is a marvelous way of managing global scale intelligence. Margin/semble are great for that. Anistota is pretty + nice to use.

The articles that people are bookmarking on @semble.so are high quality. It's quickly becoming my go to place to consume dev content

1/ Excited to share that @exgenesis.ingroup.social and I are joining the upcoming "Big if True Science" (BiTS) program! BiTS is an accelerator at Renaissance Philanthropy for scientists & technologists to design ambitious R&D programs. Our “Big if True” hypothesis is >

part of our theory of change for enabling new forms of collective intelligence at @cosmik.network: creating positive feedback loops to elicit the "beneath the iceberg" sense-making signals, like what articles you've been reading/enjoying

"the crucial step in crisis engineering is to re-establish a common view which corresponds to reality – to restore sense-making. Once that step has been taken, actually solving the problem becomes a tractable task, and without it nothing is going to work" -- @dsquareddigest.bsky.social

February updates for @cosmik.network & @semble.so ! Including @central.comind.network @funferall.bsky.social @uppy-hacker.bsky.social @tgoerke.bsky.social @o.simardcasanova.net @hacdias.com @bmann.ca @caleb.jasik.xyz @atproto.science

@semble.so is so cool idk how they have less than 300 followers

The agenda for #ATScience is up! Check out the speaker list and full schedule below 👇 The range and quality of proposals we received really exceeded our expectations - thanks to everyone who submitted something! March 27, Vancouver - can't wait to see you there ✨ Sessions include >
