After a break over the summer we're again excited to continue to make online journal club videos but we're no longer interested in engaging over Twitter. We hope that if you are still interested in hearing from us you will reach out over the fediverse

We started this account as an international group of microbiologists (mostly students, but also postdocs and PIs) exploring what it would mean to do a journal club synchronously over Twitter, 2 of us rebooted it during the covid lockdowns on YouTube, and now we're leaving Twitter

We posted updates here, but we also started using Mastodon. For a time we cross-posted our toots from the fediverse to Twitter, but when API changes broke that software we realized that we felt like our community was more on the fediverse than on this network.

@richdavisphd I saw a post of yours mirrored by a bot on the fediverse. Hope you consider posting there yourself (with alt text), it's nice to see pictures of plates in my timeline.
