it is incredibly strange. When I logged in, the tweet was actually still up, but *wasn't* displayed on my profile. (link to twitter if you are interested: https://twitter.com/akcayerol/status/1601929147131260928) Everything up to that point seemed to be in place.
In the time it took to write this, the tweet appeared back on my profile. It is a very strange thing tho: makes me think there is some tinkering with visibility of mastodon links going on...
In honor of World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims, here is a statistic that should horrify every American:
In the US, 11.4 people per 100k population died in crashes in 2020. Comparable figures for a few peer nations:
๐ณ๐ฟ: 6.3 killed per 100k population
๐จ๐ฆ: 4.2
๐ซ๐ท: 4.1
๐ฎ๐ฑ: 3.3
๐ช๐ธ: 2.9
๐ฏ๐ต: 2.7
Amid fun calls to return to BlackPlanet, Iโm wondering what it would take to launch a major Black-focused Mastodon instance? I donโt have the time to take this on myself but would be happy to work with others. So far, all Iโve seen is: https://blacktwitter.io/about
Anyone else already work on something like this?
me and who?

Let's do an icebreaker. Respond to this toot with your favorite biome and why.
I'll start: I like tropical rainforests, because the trees are easy to walk among and they're always several degrees cooler than urbanized tropical areas.
Moving servers, so reposting my #introduction.
I am a mathematical / quantitative biologist. Specifically, I use mathematical models to try to understand the ecology and evolution of viruses and our immune responses to them.
I've been pretty COVID-focused in the last few years, but I also spend time thinking about influenza and other viruses.
I am planning to use this as a professional account, but there may be bad jokes.
