Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪
There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.

A Place of Joy.

The #HPV #vaccine 💉 has been around for almost two decades. Now, we're starting to see the tremendous impact on cervical #cancer we'd all hoped for.

Complements previous UK analysis in @thelancet.bsky.social estimating a 97% reduction in cervical cancer for cohorts offered HPV vaccine @ 12–13y.

Impressive life change that occurred within weeks of receiving a new gene therapy for the rare condition #AADC. Worthy of sharing on #medsky and #sciencesky ?
