Periodic reminder: spend some time coming up with a generic figure template that shows sizes of commonly used items, eg, label sizes, expected sizes of bands on gels, micrographs and scale bars, fonts, also handy to include common overall sizes.

The numbers are in. @bsky.app research sharing volumes vs X Formerly Twitter

In March 2024, on most days, Bluesky hosts more posts linked to research published in 2025 than X.

By quite a lot.

It is a private echo chamber with manipulated algorithms and responds to a rogue government. I vote yay.
Per @djclimenhaga.bsky.social on why Canada needs to ban Twitter/X, "Today, Twitter/X, run by an enemy of democracy in the service of an enemy of Canada, is controlled by a government that is explicitly attempting to annex our country." Well said. #cdnpoli #uspoli #Never51 thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025...

Some context here:

In the U.S. the tariffs are like one of 5 major political stories this weekend.

In Canada they are everything. Wall to wall coverage. The clicks on our tariff copy are setting records - never seen a reaction like this to a single-day news event.
If you’re wondering how big of a deal this is for Canada, the public broadcaster has been live-streaming coverage almost non-stop for the past 11 hours.
