My favorite side project these days: Analyzing the Bluesky Science community (with @mkeyoung.bsky.social). Just finished a write-up of an angle not explored until now: A look at the most popular posts from the most influential network members. Lots of examples and some funky graphics—fun to explore!

To everyone who wonder why I just followed them: Together with @mkeyoung.bsky.social I'm researching how professional networks form on social media. I might follow or unfollow a large number of users from time to time. Feel free to follow back; will post updates on the project.
