@IntegralAnswers Just "reposted" (without a comment) then it does not go to my "main" timeline, but to the "Reposts" tab. See screenshot below.

I’d like to run a small experiment with everyone.

I’ve noticed something that I can’t quite explain.

Many of my science and medicine threads receive a healthy number of “shares,” but when I visit some of the accounts listed as having shared them, I often can’t find the thread anywhere on their timeline.

It could be a perfectly ordinary explanation… or it could be a quirk of how X reports engagement.

Would you help me test it?

1️⃣ If you find one of my threads worth sharing, please repost it.

2️⃣ Then check your own profile to confirm it actually appears on your timeline.

3️⃣ Let me know in the comments whether it does—or doesn’t.

I’m not looking to prove anything. I’m simply trying to understand how the platform is behaving. If something unusual is happening, it would be useful to document it carefully rather than speculate.

Thanks for helping with a little citizen science experiment.

@ukhadds @equibotanica A whole spectrum of large and small "droplets" with only the largest ones falling to the floor. https://t.co/gI2CvvFB6x

Here's a video of one of our LES simulations with @brunhofraga showing expiratory particle dispersion during speaking in a room with uniform temperature of 20C. Our paper discussing this and the effects of thermal stratification will be out soon!

The cure for ignorance is not information. It's humility and curiosity.

Facts can be easily dismissed. What motivates people to gain insight is recognizing gaps in their understanding and wanting to find out more.

The root of lifelong learning is knowing how little we know.

@TsipaA @landbourainier That was the 50th anniversary (1925->1975). Now 100th anniversary. 🇿🇦

@PeteUK7 I see the BBC article only mentions surfaces. Here is a Swedish 🇸🇪 study from Alsved et al. on #airborne #norovirus in hospital outbreaks. Includes size characterisation of particles containing #NoV #IAQ https://t.co/pYH6WsHJEN

Congratulations!! History made! 😊👍🏻🛩

[Boom Supersonic @boomsupersonic]

History in the making. On Jan. 28, 2025, XB-1 officially broke the sound barrier.

Flying Mach 1.122 (652 KTAS) at 35,290 ft. over the Mojave Desert, Boom’s supersonic demonstrator jet ushered in a new era of supersonic flight.

@1goodtern Tell me you have lost control of the situation without telling me you have lost control...

@CorsIAQ @UCDavisCOE @CAPublicHealth Thank you for creating this valuable resource! Trust it will aid awareness of the importance of #IAQ , and also the tools 🛠 available to address the challenges around it. 😊👍🏻

Will definitely avoid these #Automotive #brands #DoubleStandards 🚕🚗🚙 Thank you @GlobalNCAP you are doing a valuable service that can save lives.👍🏻

“We’re disappointed to see global brands like @RenaultIndia, @Kia_Worldwide & @Maruti_Corp offer low safety performance in markets like South Africa whilst achieving much higher protection levels in other global markets. Don’t African consumers deserve the same level of safety?”

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Most leaders value loyalty. Great leaders put a higher premium on integrity.

Loyalty is allegiance to power. You're expected to show deference and follow orders.

Integrity is allegiance to principles. You're expected to challenge orders that violate your mission or values.

[Dr. Henry Cloud @DrHenryCloud]

The goal is not finding a "perfect" spouse who will make you happy. It's becoming your best self and sharing that growth journey with the partner you've chosen. Rescue your love life from unrealistic expectations, and you'll discover the true fulfillment that a mature, committed marriage can provide. READ MORE https://t.co/xgHydCN957
