A great discussion about science on social media by @cmicomms.bsky.social
As a scientist and the creator of the #AMR feed, I love the capacity in Bluesky to be able to easily see the science, to find similar researchers, new papers etc. X was getting too noisy for finding your people #IDSky #MedSky

Thanks for the rich discussion.

My twitter regret was that I was too meek 😆 Instead I just wrote strident editorials that got largely ignored

Fortunately my day job keeps neck deep in the literature without the need for socials 😅
