Totally by accident. I just clicked on some dot, @firefoxx66. 🤣

@tinoeberl I am happy to be a dot! Where does one click on such things?

@firefoxx66 Hi Emma, that cloud is a representation of the Twitter followers/follows of scientists including the ORCID ID. If you don't know it, than you maybe did not add yourself and the visible connections are from others to you.

You can add yourself to the list:

And the cloud is from @LeonDLotter

“Science Twitter is valuable, but Twitter is going through an uncertain phase at the moment. Let's archive the Science Twitter follow graph using scientists' ORCIDs just in case. We built a tool for this -- it takes just one minute to contribute! https://t.co/9ItmbRSl23”

@tinoeberl @LeonDLotter This is very cool - thank you! I did link my ORCiD/Twitter/Mastodon - though may have just done it again 🙃 Anyway, glad to be part of the graph!
@tinoeberl @firefoxx66 @LeonDLotter Ok, and is there any chance to actually download the data to a bit more analysis on it?
