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.

Release the Kraken...

Today at UEF's Equality Day, Doctoral Researchers Wadzanai Masvosva and @philipchambers.bsky.social shared their experiences regarding #equality & equal opportunities at the university.
Being seen & heard and inclusive communication are issues they found important.

🌳 Did you know the baobab is one of the most nutrient-rich trees in the world?

This "Tree of Life" provides nutrition, livelihoods, and climate resilience across Africa.

Today, baobab seeds are among the tree seeds CIFOR-ICRAF is depositing in the Svalbard Global Seed Vault.

There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.
