#Introduction
Hi fediverse! I'm a scientist working on #structuralbiology in academia -- protein #NMR for those interested -- in #Berlin. I am currently shifting towards computational biology and in the mood for a transition to industry.
I came here out of interest for a healthier and surveillance-free forum 🙂
"Hari’s book [Stolen Focus] opened my eyes to the way #smartphones are wrecking our ability to focus. If every idle moment of our day gets occupied by the smartphone’s content feeds, #socialmedia tidbits, and other news pulling us in, what time do we have for personal thought? For reflection and analysis? For our own directed attention? Very little."

This is a great post covering something I wish I could completely break with myself (I still have LinkedIn and Twitter accounts). Breaking away is hard enough, breaking away as we approach a recession where many of us might need these accounts is even harder. I commend anyone that can do so. https://axbom.com/bye-bye-algorithm/
For instance, in the plot below, each point is a galaxy whose distance was measured with VIMOS. We would be to the left, and distance increases to the right, all the way up to when the universe was roughly half of its present age. As you can see, galaxies aren't uniformly scattered across the universe, but they form filamentary structures with voids in between.

Just a reminder that Jupiter‘s Great Red Spot is a giant vortex 1.3 times larger than our Earth and extends approx. 500 km below the cloud tops (as a comparison the average altitude of the Space Station is about 400 km)!

Hey, so this is super cool.
Google has been collecting call and messaging data about who you talk to or send text messages to for years. There's no opt-out, no notifcation in their TOS they're doing this, and you can't see the results of that collection in Google Takeout.

Drive on sol 441 takes #Perseverance rover to site 25/0000. Attached are 2 roughly processed 4-tile end-of-drive NavCam's, these were assembled in MS-ICE, I'll add the other 3 mosaics ASAP. Maybe enough data for @65dBnoise to estimate a location😀? Such site increment sometimes indicates a sample site, so maybe this could be the first regolith sample😀? Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech
Hace unas semanas me @GuerraenlaUni , el arqueologo del CSIC González Ruibal, comentaba que cuando volviese de Yibuti iba excavar en Guadalajara un campo de concentración de la guerra civil. No es el primero que excava, ni esu primer trabajo arqueológico con respecto a este periodo.El diario La Razón sin embargo decidió poner en duda su trabajo, su experiencia, la institución y obviamente los acontecimientos en esa guerra. Hoy, el CSIC se ha visto forzado a escribir esto.
