Together with Frank Sonntag I have created a new Mastodon instance: FediScience, a friendly place where scientists can let their hair down.
There I will write about my work about the quality of climate data at a scientific level in English. https://fediscience.org/@VictorVenema
This will be/stay my private, sometimes German and local (#Bonn) account.
There is now a Mastodon instance for publishing scientists: FediScience.
Everyone is welcome from PhD student to professor, as well as researchers from outside of academia. You are welcome to stay afterwards, but it is also easy to change to another server.
There will be a lot of science talk on this server, but there is no need to only talk science

Boosts are appreciated to let others know about this new instance.
@guysoft Frank is a former meteorologist. The first half of my scientific work I did meteorology, I guess, I measured clouds and modelled cloud structure. Nowadays I mainly do climate change.
Initially we thought of making an instance for the Earth sciences, but an instance for all sciences fits better to the Grassroots Review Journal system I am building. @GrassrootsReview
And you need a certain mass of people for an instance to work.
