That's quite true ⬇️ now, but I am hoping the science community here will manage to reverse the order 🤓

I find LinkedIn borderline intolerable, as a continuous list of self congratulatory posts 99% of starting with "I am delighted to announce" or add your synonym for delighted.. 🙄 1/n

Nowadays, even computers show decreased attention and are impatient :

Happy to share our work about glycan 3D structure!

In a nutshell: a Python package to study how sugars wiggle and structure themselves, the role of their composition, and how this enables relationships with protein partners. And there's AI stuff too!

Avec certaines personnes je me sens parfois plus seul encore que lorsque je le suis vraiment.

S'entourer de monde ne suffit pas à vaincre la solitude. Encore faut-il qu'on s'y sente bien.

Depuis, j'emmène mon monde partout avec moi.

Un bruit nocturne,
Absence d'absence,
Déchire le calme.

Un souvenir refait surface,
Absence d'une absence d'absence,
Anéantit les rêves.

Vous, absentes,
Sauf dans le calme,
Sauf dans mes rêves.

Votre bruit noie les autres.

Scroller, c'est creuser. Chercher un trésor.
Sur Tiktok, notre reflet déformé.
Sur Insta, des souvenirs volés.
Sur X, des cadavres d'idées.

Le trésor, c'est permettre de creuser,
Ne rien trouver.
Plonger sous la surface,
Ne rien remonter.

Mais je ne suis pas un pirate.

Dear sci-fi writers and artists, as the world's balance shifts at breakneck speed, it's the perfect time to imagine beautiful futures. Dystopia is no longer enough ; what we need now is inspiration, utopia.🖖

Show us how better futures are possible!

Scavengers Reign, with is not an utopia lol, but I love this shot of an astronaut pointing his finger to a planet.
