#introduction
Hello Merveilles,

I'm Bryce, and I'm back after a decently long hiatus.

Life's been a journey since I was last active—I'm now a QA engineer by day and study code by night.

Recently, I've been into customizing my keyboard, learning about testing and automation, coding random stuff, and I want to start contributing to open source.

I hope you have all been well and are in good health. It makes me really happy to see a lot of familiar names and I'm excited to meet the new ones!

Welp, so. I guess I'm here now and it's #introduction / #introductions time? I'm a #science writer, #journalist, #podcast host & video maker with a special fondness for weird/gross biology. I'm also a #DnD GM and a huge nerd for #books (especially #scifi) and #comics.

This week, I wrote about a type of lemur that picks its nose with an incredibly spindly finger that's so long it can reach up through its nasal cavity and touch its pharynx.

Nice to meet you, too!

Say hi!

Hello #ScienceMastodon Twitter refugees

#introduction I am a 🇫🇷 molecular & structural biologist working at the CNRS. I study the molecular mechanisms that control human gene expression focusing on #transcription factors & the Pol II machinery

Expect to see here a lot of info on #generegulation, #enhancers, #histone modifications & structural insights into the eukaryotic Transcription Initiation machinery. #CryoEM
I will also highlight #womeninscience to give them the visibility they deserve

Hello 👋🏻 my name is Victor. I am a 35 year old cisgender, pansexual, Jewish guy who lives in New York City.

Hello Merveilles #introduction
My name is Lea, I am an artist living semi off-grid in the canadian forest, dreaming of a life of less work and less money, more art and more community.
I draw illustrations and comics with ink and watercolours

I've been on the fedi for a while on dot art and i'm curious to discover and share more concept art and worldbuilding thoughts on this side account on merveilles, thank you for welcoming me here 😀

Moved from mastodon.lol, then to pettingzoo.co, and now on tech.lgbt! So #introduction is in order, again.

I’m a cis Asian gay guy in SoCal US. Geeky with tech and nerdy with games.

Push over dad of two dogs and a cat. Been together with my husband for over 20 years.

Love interacting with folks here. Sometimes selfies for validation. Sometimes a little bit spicier for followers only.

Not my best pic here but decided to start low on the expectations 😂

#introduction post:

I was trained as a systems biologist, running an empirical research group working on the evolution of gene regulatory networks in Barcelona up until 2015.

I then turned to more philosophical questions, especially the role of organismic agency in evolution, and its relation to "artificial intelligence," which should instead be called "algorithmic mimicry."

Today, I'm trying to build a new metamodern science for the coming post-abundance age.

New instance, new #introduction:

Hi! I’m Bren, and I’m a composer, orchestrator, teacher, and writer. I mainly write in a post-Romantic orchestral soundtrack style. I’ve written and orchestrated music for videogames, and I’m currently writing an album I intend as accompaniment for your fantasy TTRPG.

There’s a showreel of recent and forthcoming orchestral work below. Let me know if you give it a listen.

Hi again #Mastodon!
I joined the fediverse when a lot of my community had not migrated from the bird site, so could only partially reconstruct it here using automated tools. If I followed you there and don’t here, say hi and let’s reconnect!

For those who don’t know me, I am a #virologist by training with almost 20 years of experience as a #science #editor, a passion for #microbiology and all science really, #OpenScience #openaccess & people

Have a lovely day everyone

#Introduction 1 / 2
Fresh migration to ecoevo! My name is Juan and I am a #PhD student at the NIB (#Slovenia). I’m a #biologist and #musician. My field is #Biotremology, or the study of communication in animals by substrate-borne vibrations. In my case, I study hay-meadow habitats and their #vibroscape. I use laser vibrometers to record it.

Here is our paper on vibroscapes:

Here to #learn and share 😁

Moving over to woof.group since most of the people I interact with are here 👋🏽

I’m into gaming, DIY, gay camping, biking, cooking, and online. Here’s some photos! #introduction

Dedicated to everyone weaning off algorithm-bloated unsocial media. Inspired by something @robparsons said!

Officially erased my bird site presence this morning and with it my associated contacts. I haven't seen a wide-scale migration yet of the #weather / #wxtwitter community, which accounted for half of my Twitter contacts.

As a sort of final #introduction post and calling card for the weather community, one of my primary uses of Twitter was to share my #WeatherPhotography and #storm reports. I'll probably continue to share weather and #climate content here! CW's as needed. Some of my faves below.

My first post on Mastodon after a whole lot of lurking and boosting, so I'm treating this as a mini #introduction for myself

I'm an #immunology PhD candidate at #ColumbiaUniversity medical center, and we just published a study of #TissueSpecifity of human #Tcell identity and clonal expansion in barrier sites, using #CyTOF, #scRNAseq, and #TCR #sequencing!

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41590-022-01395-9

Tissue adaptation and clonal segregation of human memory T cells in barrier sites - Nature Immunology

Farber and colleagues examine the phenotypic, transcriptomic, clonal, and functional differences between tissue-resident T cells in various barrier tissue sites relative to T cells in lymphoid organs and circulation in humans.

Hi. I am a surrealist.

Surrealism in the machine age is the process of creating hardware, software and art without the constraints of corporate guidelines and the appeal to the popular. It is the act of becoming an extension to the universal will to create indiscriminately. The output mirrors the state of the world and often allows one to construct ideas they wouldn't allow themselves to do otherwise.

Make the machine your companion, not a tool to be replaced.

#introduction #unix_surrealism

Hello! I'm Sadie and I'm trying Mastodon again after a long hiatus.

I'm a #trans woman working in marketing in the games industry, and at night I'm into football, exercise, board games, video games, self care, prosecco and watching too many FFXIV reaction videos.

I'm keen to share in others' #transjoy and show my progress through #selfie posts from time to time. I need more trans people in my life and I miss the connections I made here last time.

That's my #introduction. Thanks for having me on this server ❤️

New to Mastodon. Thought id give an #introduction!

My name is Dillon. I am a biologist and Science communicator mainly active on the instagram. If im not hyperfixating on my R code, I am creating online courses and educational material, being opinionated about conservation, or out looking for frogs!

Anyone mind giving me a primer for how Mastodon works? Im still very new to it all

Hi there. A wee #introduction

^ are an #artist collective with a shared art space in Manorhamilton, Ireland. We are a group of humans, nonhuman organisms and a 3-storey building, all working together on artistic research on the blurred topics of #art, landscape and technology.

^ experiment with shared leadership structures and artistic research practices. We are learning from one another, from you all, and from people, places and things we may never meet or identify.

I also take the point that, by definition, it will be hard for new people to know about a relevant hashtag to use. Many new people will still use (#)introduction. I plan to monitor that tag and keep offering help.

But I think that if we can get dozens or hundreds of us behind the idea of a particular hashtag to help new ueser that it will percolate through the social media grapevine.

How did people get the idea of making an (#)introduction post in the first place after all.

You asked for it, now its here:

Hello everyone, here is my #introduction 😀

I am most of all a musician. I’ve been playing live and composing under the name “gwEm” for 20+ years.

Mostly I make #chiptune and I am deeply passionate about it. I do this outside and inside the #demoscene.

I also do old skool rave, electro, drum’n’bass, metal and punk.

Platforms of choice are in first place the Atari ST, and in second place the Commodore Amiga.
