Cancer Research UK today published a report which highlights changes in cancer survival rates over the last 50 years. Many headlines (like this one from the Guardian) have chosen to report the ‘doubling of cancer survival rates’ since the 1970s. But that's misleading... 1/18

Nature posed a variety of scenarios to 5,000 academics around the world to understand which uses of AI are considered ethically acceptable. The survey results suggest that researchers are sharply divided on what they feel are appropriate practices. #Academicsky 🧪

THREAD The numbers are in. @bsky.app research sharing volumes vs X Formerly Twitter In March 2024, on most days, Bluesky hosts more posts linked to research published in 2025 than X. By quite a lot. Release the Kraken... #AcademicSky #HigherEd #Altmetrics 1/11

THREAD An Ode to Yorkshire They call it God's own Country. Among the stereotypes of England, it ranks up there with Shakespeare, Dickens, Tea & Biscuits, top hats and a very particular brand of dentistry. Why Yorkshire? Isn't this account about Attention Scores and Memes? Couple of reasons. 1/31

We began monitoring for mentions of research items on Bluesky in late October 2024. Tomorrow we will have found our millionth mention of research posted here. Here’s some brief context. 1/4

Kudos to Plos. Make sure you follow them here --> @plos.org And please share. 🔬🙌

“While X currently dominates altmetric mentions, the observed growth on Bluesky suggests a potential shift in the future, underscoring its emerging role in academic dissemination and the challenges of adapting scholarly communication metrics across evolving platforms” #AcademicSky #Altmetrics

Genuine question: how much does the gun ownership policy contribute?

🧪⚛️😂🤣

I learned a couple of things just from this one post 🤓

Perhaps part of a solution to the pollution problem in agriculture we have in The Netherlands.

No more confusion about whether I'm using the X app or bluesky. Byebye X.

Just changed my handle to point to my domain. Pretty easy and looks cool 😎

Okay, I have to do a thread on this pretty amazing article because it is just seriously chockers with eye-opening stats about 'direct air capture' - ie, sucking up air and trying to remove carbon dioxide from it news.mit.edu/2024/reality...

Good to realize how different Bluesky is from the likes of X and Threads.

I switched default from X to Bluesky. I do increasingly get confused on which platform I am during use. Developing a habit of checking for the butterfly 🦋

😂

We strongly suggest that academic publishers and other platforms that host research rapidly implement a Share to Bluesky button for their articles. Here's how: docs.bsky.app/docs/advance... #AcademicSky #HigherEd #Altmetrics

Anyone know of a starter pack of right wing/climate sceptics etc? Looking for some (civilized) discussions between people with opposite views to avoid being continuously in my echo chamber…
