I learned some stuff about Bluesky I did not know by reading this. Maybe worth passing it on to others so we can all start getting the full benefit of the 🦋.

I reflect on the importance of technicians in research groups, often unappreciated and funded on short term contracts #academicsky occamstypewriter.org/athenedonald...

Yesterday @uniofexeter.bsky.social & Peers for the Planet published a guide to help parliamentarians understand & respond to the challenges of #ClimateChange The launch at the House of Commons drew a crowd including MPs, peers and business leaders 📖👉 greenfutures.exeter.ac.uk/parliamentar...

WEEKEND UPDATE: I have created and continue to update a number of starter packs of academic journals. Please use and share, and let me know of anything missing or incorrect. go.bsky.app/3TTXHMb go.bsky.app/FcArK3K go.bsky.app/UCkz2Pn go.bsky.app/RwDTRi6 go.bsky.app/PrDd6nE go.bsky.app/4uTfdZB

📃 How to Make a Feed in BlueSky 📃 See below, but before you start: (a) search goodfeeds.co/all to see if there’s already an existing feed that’s similar, (b) make your feed’s title informative (i.e., not #ZRXft), and (c) make its tags short and easy to remember! #AcademicSky 🧪
