"Bluesky shows higher level of content originality in scholarly discourse, perhaps due to a higher proportion of academic users. X tends to favor simple retweets. This positions Bluesky as a richer environment for substantive science communication."🧪

The job market is changing and employers are facing huge challenges. There are skills and labour shortages with vacancy rates at record highs. Workers in their 50s and 60s are key to filling these gaps. Yet employers are missing out on all that older workers can offer.

Infographic reading: The older workforce is the future. Join the Pledge and show your support today.
