Are grad students on here? Seems like it leans toward senior and mid career folks.
Q directed to grad students / postdocs who are checking this out:
What practices/behaviors would make this space useful for you?
How can senior folks best promote your work or interact w you here?
@mikelove I'm a postdoc (cancer genomics).
Personally, the thing I want most from this app isn't necessarily a venue to promote myself, or to be exposed to other early career researchers' work specifically.
I want to keep up what is important and driving conversation in my field. Maybe that means elevating early career researchers' works, but to me that is secondary to just knowing what more tapped-in people than me are talking about.
@mikelove It's difficult as an early career researcher to know which of the constant stream of papers and conversations are worth paying attention to.
So far, the intimate and civil atmosphere on here looks like it could be conducive to this and even make it less intimidating for us to participate! People boosting what they consider important instead of an algorithm attempting this automatically could help too!
Thanks for asking the question and thinking about early career folks!
