Libraries are one of the most radical social institutions we have, because they’re based on the idea that *everyone* has the right to information, for free. It’s also what makes them crucial to democracy. I will never stop yelling about this!

Poor people use libraries. Rich people shut them down because they don't *want* poor people to read.

We were incredibly disappointed with the lack of code or executable accompanying the publication of AF3 in @Nature . This contradicts scientific principles of the ability to evaluate, use, and build upon existing work. zenodo.org/records/1117.... Sign to endorse: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

My very own in-house gourmet, sampling the arugula. He is particular about his greens. Ordinary lettuce is a no go. Frisee and arugula are his faves. Boy after my own heart (and my better greens). Prof. Bounds has great taste! #catsofbluesky

I cheered when I read that she got elected to NAS. Her work on development of drug resistance is astounding.

HAPPY INDEPENDENT BOOKSTORE DAY. Go to your independent bookstore! Do it now! Buy books! Tell the booksellers they are wizards, literal wizards, bibliowizards of the highest order! High-five them lest they turn you into a bookmark for your impudence!

When he asks why I’m wearing a mask I tell him it’s because if there is someone here wearing a mask I don’t want them to feel alone and when he points out that I’m currently the only one masked I look at him and say yes, but that could change * 213: librarianshipwreck.wordpress.com/2024/04/19/p...

I always appreciate @jbouie.bsky.social’s columns but I’m particularly grateful for today’s which says with lucidity and grace something I’ve been trying to say much less successfully for years. www.nytimes.com/2024/02/23/o...

Hey #mathsky and #imaging folks. Wonderful virtual event coming up from #EMS (European Women in Mathematics). Here is a link: www.europeanwomeninmaths.org/activity/ems...

So important! Peeps, cite your software. The developers do a ton to maintain it (let alone build it in the 1st place), and the only way they can manage to support it is if they can show (to funding agencies, for ex) that it is being USED. How do they do that? With our citations!

Plea to my fellow academics: CITE YOUR SOFTWARE. I'm hearing from several young scholars that they've given up on writing R packages and such because nobody cites them. Yet download stats and rep materials clearly show that they are being used. This is plagiarism, and it slows down innovation

My post #BPS bluesky rant. How do we get this community to be more prominent? I left 'other' for a reason, but it was all I saw at BPS. Also, the feeds seem an imperfect community building mechanism. Is there an unoffensive way to keep them on topic? I want my science community back!

Yay, the ACA is here on bluesky! Hey, structural ppl, give them a follow and let's make the structural science community here strong! @acastructuralsci.bsky.social #chemsky 🧬🧶
