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.

Is there anything the GLP-1 receptionists can’t do? 😳 this is hot on the heels of a paper earlier this week showing spectacular reduction in risk of progression to T2DM in obese patients w/ identified pre-diabetes, IIRC.
