Your lab scissors are actually a parafilmase - a highly specialized enzyme that catalyzes the precise cutting of parafilm through a metal-dependent mechanism

bsky users have trouble understanding terms of service when they sign up for a service like this

I wish bsky had a way to bookmark tweets so I have a way to never come back to them

don't tell bsky users that all of their posts are public... that everything on bsky is publicly accessible and is probably already used for training AI as we speak
Releasing: a dataset of two million Bluesky posts.

This dataset has been collected using Bluesky's API, and I hope it will be useful for all the researchers out there!

Had to update my CV today...

so ofc instead of actually working on it, I built an app to update my resume/cv, and it saves/loads/syncs to my Google Sheets

using a schema makes it easy to move sections around, add new publications, etc.

lmk if you want this!

I'm helping @jamesgurney.bsky.social restart @phagepapers.bsky.social

I just wrote some code that once a day:

1. Searches some Pubmed keywords and adds the results to Google sheets
2. Posts a random link from the Sheets to Bluesky

Would anyone like a writeup?
Or expand beyond just phage papers?

I just realized AT Protocol, the system behind Bluesky, can be used for science:

DOI — as a DOI system for papers, datasets, anything

Publishing — you can publish long-form posts on your own servers

Lab websites — hosted by your lab

Peer Review — can be built on top of the reply mechanism

i’m not confident we’ll necessarily want to build this directly into the product (tradeoffs to consider) but the fact that it can be done in the ecosystem is awesome. let the ecosystem cook
Starter packs are genius, but I was surprised there wasn't a list of them for people to find.

So I built it:
blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack...

The website monitors the packs being shared and adds the ones it finds to the database.

Missed your stater pack? Message me and I'll get it added.

Remember when people posted food on Twitter? This is my chicken skewer + cauliflower rice and beans. Cooked in a reduced Thai chili sauce for extra flavor. Better than rice and beans!

Wait how do you connect your own domain here? And does Baku have an API?! One that’s better than twitters?!
