2023 recap: @biorxivpreprint & @medrxivpreprint posted >45k new preprints. We launched new features and social media, partnered with new journals, & ran a user survey. We also celebrated bioRxiv's 10th anniversary 🎉
Thank you for being part of this open and equitable endeavor! #OpenScience#preprints
@biorxivpreprint@medrxivpreprint even if these are not the only preprint server out there, both titles have really changed the scientific publishing landscape & mentality, normalising the idea of sharing research findings before peer reviewed publication.
Peer review is important but often shapes the presentation of findings rather than totally redefining them. As such, delaying the release of that research makes little sense. #academicchatter@academicchatter
I recommend not publishing on Medium, for starters.
Full disclosure, I opened the article to see if its 2024 #accessibility recommendations were the same as the 2004 or 2014 recommendations (headings, alt text, contrast, etc.) but now I cannot be sure what new insights it contains. #a11y

I agree. There isn't a real alternative to wordpress. Both wordpress.com and self hosted #WordPress are options I use for various activities.
"The project ‘The Art of Reading in the Middle Ages’ will show the importance of medieval reading culture as a European movement by bringing together (digitised) manuscripts produced between c. 500 and c. 1550 from across Europe, unlocking their educational potential by curational and editorial enrichment, using innovative ways for displaying and handling digital objects in an educational context."
@sub_ Yep, I'm using #Exult. I find it easier than regular #DOSBox. I used the files installed by GOG for Exult Linux. And true, I like the QoL features they added!
I can make lists of accounts on the web browser. I can make hashtag groups in Tusky. What I want is topic groups, where I can put accounts and hashtags together that are all about the same topic. Is there anything that does that yet?
I took Nemo, the one eyed orange tabby, to the vets yesterday. His eye was looking pretty bad. They did a couple tests and decided it was, in fact, a bacteria and so we got some antibiotic lotion to put in his eye and we're awaiting a call from the pharmacy for an oral antibiotic to give him. Worst of all, though, is he has to wear a cone, which is just the saddest thing to watch.

Off the top of my head I can think of a couple of people who follow you so tomorrow I will tag them with your message. We will spread the word.
👋 Hello, new followers! We stopped posting on our fairly active Twitter account more than a year ago and moved here. We're the Georgia Museum of Art at the University of Georgia, both a university museum and the official state art museum. We celebrated our 75th birthday this year, and we have a collection of over 18,000 objects: American paintings, decorative arts, works on paper, much more. Mastodon feels like a good place for us given our academic and public focus. ❤️
"The Washington Post’s David Ignatius, in a column based on conversations with his insider circle of the D.C. elite, wrote that the U.S. has been contemplating a “day after” scenario that would see the deployment of a security force “composed primarily of Palestinians who aren’t affiliated with Hamas and are willing to cooperate with the Israeli troops still ringing the borde."
If you're a blacc cop you should know this is how they see u
Ideally, this policing force would be bolstered by foreign troops, operating under a U.N. mandate.” Ignatius added, “Israeli commandos might stage raids back into the center of Gaza when they receive intelligence about high-value targets.”
