I don't even know where to start with this crap (partly because it's hard to tell which of the studies the 17 "jogging" effects came from, partly because it seems obvious from the paper that the more studies the more the "effect" disappears) https://t.co/Gniv5Ht8g3 pic.twitter.com/qbToQ2yOGM— Science Banana (@literalbanana) March 12, 2024
A new study suggests that scientists are leaving X (formerly known as Twitter) in significant numbers due to its declining professional value. Many now find Bluesky to be a more effective platform for networking, outreach, and staying updated on research.

So, you’ve made it! The remnants of science twitter have at last begun to coalesce around a new microblogging platformed owned by questionable individuals with inadequate content moderation t…

I have quite a lot of thoughts on this..that won't fit in a tweet. Bottomline is that there are issues scientists in the US would love to improve - faster review, less grant writing, more stability and freedom to do risky science. The folks celebrating this doc are mostly../1 https://t.co/xlPAH9XYNC— Jason Shepherd (@JasonSynaptic) July 23, 2026

yeah there used to be a company called Eureka that powered these types of observational, more lifestyle style studies (here's an example looking at coffee's effect on different biomarkers/conditions)https://t.co/urQRvTVTb7I think it can work if you have enough people in…— Nikhil Krishnan (@nikillinit) September 14, 2025

It took Nature three years to publish this rebuttal, which clearly demonstrates the fundamental flaws in the original paper. In the meantime, the paper's conclusions influenced scientific debate and policy decisions. Such delays in correcting flawed research do real damage. https://t.co/QI3Ei3PE70— Andreas De Block (@DeblockBlock) August 13, 2026
Maybe scientific progress isn’t slowing, after all
A new paper takes aim at the claim that science has become less disruptive
One of the issues that has come up again and again in my reporting on misinformation and social media is the massive influence social media companies have on research in the field. Last night a preprint dropped that tries to get at this with some numbers. My piece in @science.org (and 🧪🧵 coming):
Nearly a third of social media research has undisclosed ties to industry, preprint claims

luma.comOh no it's happening here too! Massive science threads and convos with zero involvement from women 😭 That was one of the weirdest, most alienating things about science twitter (and why perhaps I don't have as fond memories of it as some of my male colleagues do) and I'd hate it to be replicated here
Finally found a moment to upload a second short from #atmosphereconf, this time with @smcgrath.phd, on how #atscience launched with a "Twitter Dunkerque" beachhead operation involving an excel sheet with 20000 invite codes. youtube.com/shorts/iBPdcs-BQak

I thought it'd be fun to do some YouTube short interviews with people here at #AtmosphereConf, just to ask them about the moment they realised that atproto was worth building on. So here's my very first with @tylerjfisher.com of @sill.social youtube.com/shorts/oOiS4zzBftM .
