The events this week in the US have made me feel pretty low. So, I've decided to make one very small change myself and move away from Twitter and onto Blue.sky - so please find me there Arjun Amar.bsky.social. It was very easy by the way!

Science Twitter was great - but over the last few years it went downhill rapidly, and now using Twitter just feels a bit wrong with the events of the week. I went over to BlueSky yesterday and I have to say it has everything that twitter has without that 'unclean' feeling! join!

I had built up a good following on Twitter (ca. 6000). so I am sorry to be moving away, but I'm pleased to say that my followers on bluesky are rising rapidly - I'm already at 105 on only my 2nd day. And lots of the folk (+journals) that I like on Twitter are there. come join us!

Here we go:

It does seem to be growing by the day. Bluesky adds 700,000 new members as users flee X after the US election theguardian.com/technology/202…

Your regularly reminder that it’s all going on over at BlueSky. Come over quick. It’s much better and leaves you feeling less dirty!

We now have a dedicated #RaptorResearch 'Feed' on Bluesky & a 'starter pack' for raptor ecologists - so please come over and join us. The site is currently growing at >1m per day. If you are a raptor ecologist, please contact me when you join & I will add you to the starter pack.

I was worried about leaving here - as I had built up 6000 followers over the last decade. But, I've been on BlueSky for only 11 days now and already have >450 followers & I've established a #RaptorResearch feed - 'feeds' are a game changer. So please don't delay - come on over!

Raptor Ecologists - do please come over to Bluesky - we have our own starter packed (message me to join) and our very own #RaptorResearch feed I was also able to import all of my previous Twitter posts over to Bluesky for about $10 for several thousand tweets using blueark

NEW on #theBOUblog from Steve Dudley 🕷 The ornithology community is growing on Bluesky, here's why you should consider this alternative to Twitter | bou.org.uk/blog-dudley-ri… #ornithology

Regular reminder. If you into #science #ornithology and especially #raptorresearch you really do need to come over to Blue Sky. Raptor community - we have our own starter pack (I can add you) and a dedicated feed! Many people - incl me - are not posted content here anymore.

As a new year brings new public health leadership, it’s worth rereading this Helen Branswell 🇨🇦 piece, which warns that bird flu risk to the general public, while unpredictable, can transition from low to high in “dizzyingly brief” time. statnews.com/2024/10/16/bir… via STAT
