Hi All.
Here is Alex Pinto, chemistry professor at Manhattan University, in NYC. I use to have a twitter with a couple of followers. Now, I am finally at BlueSKy. If you used to follow my group on Twitter, please, follow us here on BlueSky. I hope to keep the same vibe we used to have on Twitter.
let's fire up the 3D printers :D
Threads thread: thriller_instinct 3d Is it okay to bully 40 and 50 year olds who are on social media just for being on it, cuz like why are you here - 254 Q 3.1K G 28 746 corporateash 18h โขโขโข My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you. 852 Q62 G6 72
โI have usernames older than you.โ.
Holy shit
"pizza patate, provola e salsiccia"

Glad people are settling on the term "pervert glasses". Bonus points if you also say it while posting a picture of Mark Zuckerberg or call them Mark Zuckerberg's pervert glasses.
Satirical recreation of Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses privacy webpage, with Mark Zuckerberg replacing all the models. Hero text reads "Designed for surveillance, controlled by us." Three product panels below show Zuckerberg sitting cross-legged on his phone, a close-up of the glasses camera, and Zuckerberg looking smug โ captioned "Data harvesting that matters," "Power down โ footage already uploaded," and "An extra layer of human annotators." Body copy states users cannot opt out and that human reviewers in third-party facilities may access their footage. Created for editorial commentary on the gap between Meta's stated privacy promises and documented reality.

One of the ways to deal with this is to publish the not just the best nanoparticle images, but also the zoomed-out ones showing all the imperfections! (so far) imperfections are not in the training data (i.e. "publication quality" images).
And definitely not a bad place to have a retreat :)

I just made an account and voted for this biology laboratory made of LEGO to "promote biological research and inspire more people into the world of biology". They need 10K votes. Reposting and/or voting below would be helpful. ๐ค

Hugely overdue.
Ever since I was a little girl, I knew that I wanted to answer 275 emails per day and argue with administrators. Thatโs why I chose a career in academia.
Quite some herons in the threes
How many herons can you spot?
Has @avogadro.cc helped your research? Teaching?
As we prepare Avogadro 2.0 for release this spring, I'm hoping to feature some stories (and citations).

The photo shows a stacked bookshelf with one book prominently facing out. The cover this book is How to Organize Inclusive Events and Conferences, by Dr. Alex D. Ketchum. The cover is orange, with the title in bold white lettering. The cover graphic is of three arms raised with a fist - the first arm is purple, the second is blue, and the third is pink. The bottom of the cover notes that Dr. Ketchum also was the editor of the book Queers at the Table. The stacked up books behind this one are in soft focus, as a background motif.
Are you organizing an #event or #conference? @aketchum22.bsky.social share her insights on to how to make them inclusive & accessible. โฌ๏ธ
