Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪
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.
A Place of Joy.

.. aaand I'm back from my year of maternity leave (and a year away from academic social media). Future me is getting ready to tackle the challenges of being an academic mum of 2 little ones. This feels like a friendly space to walk into 👋🏽 #neuroskyence #academicmum
My last day in the lab before I start a year of maternity leave for the second time. Grateful to have led this amazing team for 2 years. A bit daunting to think about having to rebuild all this from the ground up when I return, but that's a problem for future me to tackle! #neuroscience #academicmum
