EU medicines agency quits X, moves to Bluesky
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) said on Monday it would no longer post on X and would use rival Bluesky instead, becoming the latest organisation to quit a social media platform that some have criticised for its content.

Question to the community 🧪: in the last 4 years, I have tutored PhD students from other labs and institutions. Too many have had a lot of problems because of bad PIs, and I do mean really bad scientist and people. Some are under investigation. How can I warn future students about them?
