I had the pleasure of acting as an external PhD examiner for @aitorjarit.bsky.social in the lab of @sancholab.bsky.social 🇪🇸 during the summer.

Today I received his PhD thesis and a beautiful gift of a mitochondria illustrated in the style of an Andalusian tile.

Thank you very much!

Recently @natureportfolio.nature.com had an article about Bluesky being a better platform for sharing science than X. It hasn't been my experience to date. Same post yesterday had more engagement on X and LinkedIN. Wondering if it's domain specific? What are others experience?
