Hello! I am a #biology professor at Eastern Michigan University, migrating here from Twitter just in case. Plus every social media site needs more salamanders, yes?

#introduction
Hello #ScienceMastodon,

I am a Group Leader at IGC Portugal, and also an Honorary Professor at UCL UK

In the lab, we like to call ourselves Optical Cell Biologists. We develop #Microscopy technology to study cells and their viral infection at the nanoscale. To do so, we deploy novel #SuperResolution and #MachineLearning methods

We hold an ethos for making our methods easily available, reproducible and open to anyone

Post often about the lab, research we find cool and myself

Richard, with the increasing migration of science Twitter to sites like Mastodon, what are the prospects for adding a Mastodon sharing option, and more importantly, adding Mastodon to Altmetric article metrics in bioRxiv and medrXiv? For obvious reasons, supporting science dissemination by sustainable, non-commercial social media sources seems more important than ever.

The harassment of public health officials and simultaneous mocking of transgender individuals from Mu$k was it for me. I will no longer be using Twitter. So figured I'd do a proper #introduction here!

I'm a PhD candidate at the #UniversityofWashington Seattle's MCB program. I study host-microbe interactions in the intestines in Ollie Harrison's lab who is at the Benaroya Research Institute.

I enjoy all manner of outdoor pursuits outside the lab and love to create by baking and crafting.

The site I write for, like almost every news site from the NYT on down includes a twitter button for sharing.

I'd like to see a mastodon button that anyone can put on their websites to replace the twitter button that is readily available

Today was the straw that broke the camel's back for me.

This morning Elon Musk tweeted that his pronouns were prosecute/Fauci.

You can’t study evolutionary biology under the roof of the Discovery Institute and you can’t have meaningful and productive scientific collaboration on a platform run by right-wing troll who denies science when its results are inconvenient to him and just simply to hear his audience cheer.

Musk’s anti-Fauci tweet is my breaking point; leaving the other app behind so might as well do an #introduction!

I’m an Associate Professor of #Immunology at the #UniversityofWashington in Seattle. My lab studies programmed cell death in the context of cancer, infection and autoimmunity. Check out OberstLab.org for more info.

Outside the lab, I spend as much time as I can outdoors: Biking, rock climbing, hiking and #birding with my wife and our Irish Water Spaniel Rufus. What a good boy!

You’ve probably heard of “The Unsinkable Molly Brown” bc of her heroism on the Titanic, but there’s so much more to her story.

Margaret Brown (her real name) fought for workers’ rights, women’s rights, education & even ran for the Senate - before women could vote.

She established Titanic’s Survivor's Committee & helped erect the DC memorial.

And yet, Brown wasn't allowed to participate in the congressional Titanic hearings simply bc she was a woman. #history #women #HistoryRemix
