Was stunned last night to stumble upon the 48 Hours episode about one of the first cases I was involved in last year, the murder of Roxanne Woods. It was such a complex case and almost didn’t get solved 2 or 3 different times. Teamwork made it happen. I learned so much through this experience about bridging gaps in communication on multidisciplinary law-enforcement teams. #forensics #coldcase #genealogy #geneticgenealogy https://www.cbs.com/shows/video/MF2we9IsMx5oAvuCjHFOdGf0seXXSvAy/

When I wrote this piece about the #twittermigration of #sciencetwitter last week, #Mastodon had gained 100,000 users since Musk’s purchase of Twitter.
When I updated it a few days ago, it was half a million.
Now, @Gargron just announced that there are 1 million more users.
The speed and scale of this is remarkable and I know that countless people worked hard to manage it. Thank you!

A nice perk of having an account on http://mastodon.online is that it's hosted in Germany and the rules are you can't post stuff that is illegal in Germany....so no Holocaust denial, no Nazi propaganda or symbols, no hate speech. (Sounds like a MAGA free site to me 😀)
