Many German universities and research institutions are leaving X together today and switching to BlueSky and Mastodon - a strong signal! I'm looking forward to being able to inform myself and exchange ideas on BlueSky again in a professional and objective manner.

Wir haben in Deutschland eine „Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung“. Ich würde mir von dieser eine Aufklärungskampagne darüber wünschen, was es ganz konkret für jeden bedeuten würde, wenn AfD zu Regierungsbeteiligung käme. Vielen AfD-WählerInnen wird dies nicht klar sein. Wir müssen jetzt handeln!

Hi Bluesky, I’m glad when we can focus on good content here again. Let‘s start with these valuable thoughts on science, pseudoscience, radically creative ideas and the right to be wrong.
Well hello Bluesky. For my first (proper) post, here's my take on the IIT brouhaha and some of the wider issues involved, out now in Nautilus. It's called The Worth of Wild Ideas (and The Right To Be Wrong). nautil.us/the-worth-of...
