Thank you @acr-journals.bsky.social for listening. We need more leaders to change and engage with researchers on @bsky.app

I think our journals, societies, and institutions need to do better at supporting @bsky.app and drop X.

I love it.
Humbled hound indeed!
I’m definitely putting some of this language into my next LinkedIn post!

Agreed - not the discussion the field needs and very corporate hiring focused. It does reach an audience that wouldn’t usually engage with science or medicine and again I do get some interaction with patients and advocacy. Also spotted some papers I would have missed while in exile from Twitter.

I posted here about an important local environmental issue yesterday and there was huge engagement - so there is an appetite for discussion but not the same for MedSci.

LinkedIn offers something different … more corporate and cautious reaching a different audience.

LinkedIn has been growing in terms of reposting papers and at least their is some engagement. Also patient groups live there too and can help to disseminate our work directly to patients which I really like.
However no discussion of the science so far.

Agree - Megakaryocytes are involved in fibrosis in the marrow but how do they get involved in fibrosis in the lung? @ild-ipfdoc.bsky.social @ipfdoc.bsky.social

There just isn’t the engagement on BluSky yet. It’s great in environmental science and other circles but not medicine and biological sciences. Needs more people to pile in. Also journalist and some journals will not leave Twitter/X and engage here yet.

Near Slane, Co Meath. Very disappointing but a regular site.

Massive new dairy farms in the Boyne Valley. If they were factories they would be inspected but not so for these enterprises that are labelled farms.

Most farmers are doing their best to follow reasonable regs but some know they can get away with this kind of thing.

This is a regular sight on wet and water lodged days.
