@scios.tech is an exciting initiative at the intersection of open science and open source. Welcome to the Atmosphere! 👋

1. Steve Jobs realized that "People hate their phones". Apple invented a better one, made bank, & changed the world. Academics hate their scientific publishers. Bluesky invented a better publishing platform, & could bank some of the ~$20B/year sci pub revenue, changing science 🧪 @toni.bsky.team 🧵

Excellent talk about the successes & failures of migrating an academic community to Bluesky, with some recos at the end.

#ATScience !

🧵 On social media, we feel trapped in “filter bubbles” and “echo chambers.” Often, we see this as a problem with the algorithm. Our new essay argues the problem is the feed interface itself: it constrains our movement—all we can do is scroll. We lay out an alternative vision:

Super cool @atproto.science project! Would be neat if a bunch of researchers ran these on their X feeds

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)

#ATScience - Semble for research

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 🌻

This exciting collaboration between started at #ATScience !

I got way too inspired yesterday at #atscience and I changed my flight so that I actually get to catch part of the main conference. I’ll be around #atmosphereconf today and looking to chat with people!

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

What a fantastic day we had at #ATScience last week! More detailed writeup coming soon, for now a big thank you to everyone who made the day possible and to the ATScience organizing team 👏 @tgoerke.bsky.social @byarielm.fyi @ronentk.me @mathewlowry.eurosky.social

Yes! And lots of folks are interested in this including @byarielm.fyi @eugenevinitsky.bsky.social @mariaa.bsky.social @cosmik.network @lanyards.app

My keynote at the @atproto.science conference about Modular Science last week! The recording and writeup are here: articles.continuousfoundation.org/articles/tow...

@bmann.ca closing remarks at #AtmosphereConf Shout out to #ATScience for building a strong community of interest on atproto 🚀

Brilliant stuff from @maxine.science on Building decentralized AI on atproto: "the network is the force multiplier". Not part of the #atscience day, but deserves the hashtag. Hope @emily.space is watching this.

Barely 24 hrs since @row1.ca 's keynote at #ATScience 😅 The ecosystem is cooking 🔥

Stable, high usage of the astrosky custom feeds, via @emily.space at #atscience. #Atmosphereconf.

The updated schedule for today is on atscience.leaflet.pub — we’re working to get the atmosphereconf.org updated too. Will update here when that’s done. #ATScience #AtmosphereConf

oxa.dev looking really cool #ATScience

🧪 @row1.ca shows off the power of what this modular approach to science can look like, by creating papers that are more interconnected. #ATScience #AcademicSky #OpenScience

So many good science-oriented features on the upcoming Lea browser, presented at #ATsciemce by @mariaa.bsky.social. #Atmosphereconf.

If you couldn’t make it in person, you can check out our live stream of the #ATscience talks on stream.place - just login below with the account you’re seeing this from! stream.place/stream1.atmo... #OpenScience #AtmosphereConf 🧪💻🧬👩🏻‍🔬

For remote folks, this our first @stream.place powered #AtmosphereConf streaming day! @atproto.science will be streamed 9am to 4pm PT Login to get access to screens at atmosphereconf.org/remote

Excited to talk about modular science, Open Exchange Architecture, @curvenote.com and @continuous.foundation tomorrow. Will be a fun day learning all that is going on in this space. 🚀🚀

We have an exciting panel tomorrow @11am with @nickmvincent.bsky.social Laure Haak (@verime.coop) and Ellie DeSota (@metagov.bsky.social , SciOS)! The panel will explore how governance & sustainability challenges facing the broader atproto ecosystem are mirrored in its open science applications >

Introducing skytrails by @kennypeng.bsky.social, a way to browse posts across Bluesky! Follow trails to navigate the space of content/conversations here, and discover new interests beyond your usual feeds 🕸️ I'll talk more about it tomorrow in my talk at #atscience #atmosphereconf!

New @atproto.science project spotted!

Even if you aren't able to attend #ATScience in-person this time, you can still join the remote live-stream this Friday (March 27 @ 9am Pacific) courtesy of @stream.place ! Talks will be recorded as well.

It's 3 days to #ATScience 🧪🫶 blento.atproto.science

The banners have arrived! @atproto.science being held by @pouriade.com & @ronentk.me at @z-space.ca

First real edition of my newsletter on leaflet, looking ahead to my @atproto.science workshop and #atmosphereconf in general.

My hack project before #AtmosphereConf @atproto.science: try and set up live streaming of scientific data (e.g. astronomical transients) on AT Protocol, which would give a decentralized & authenticated way to broadcast time-critical scientific results worldwide

Great suggestion for people attending @atproto.science's conference on Friday too! #ATScience

I'm going to "ATScience 2026"! atmo.rsvp/p/atproto.sc...

1/Today, we’re pleased to announce Wellcome funding that will support a new initiative – eLife Pathways – in building an open and collaborative ecosystem for alternative approaches to scholarly communication buff.ly/P28V9If?utm_...

Testing @chive.pub <> @semble.so integration 🔥 Interop is the future exhibit #23610 #ATScience

This call is still relevant - thanks in advance!

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 🧪✨

Had a great call with @ronentk.me and @byarielm.fyi today in preparation for our panel at #ATScience I’m excited, it is shaping up to be a great conference!

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

Drafting a pitch deck for Lanyards. It just hit me that #ATscience 🧪 in the #ATmosphere 🌀 is very real now. @atproto.science → @curvenote.com @chive.pub @lanyards.app @hypgen.bsky.social @layers.pub @margin.at @andreasthinks.me @sealight.xyz @semble.so @standard.site @viewsift.com 😻 #ATproto 🪿

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 >

We're ramping up our alpha, and we'd love for you to join at chive.pub! Since we launched back in January, we've been adding a ton of fun features; and to introduce them, we're going to be doing a series of deep dives over the next couple weeks on chive.leaflet.pub.

Check out our rad new @blento.app by @tgoerke.bsky.social @byarielm.fyi 🤩

Wish there was a better academic publishing system? Bluesky and its underlying ATProto technology, along with services like @chive.pub and the broader @atproto.science ecosystem, could do the job. #AcademicSky 🧪 leaflet.pub/2f431faf-c12...
