Answer: Because most #doctors who see patients all day know nothing about #COVID & even less about #longCOVID. They are ~17 years behind #scientists. If they were at all familiar with the #science they'd be wearing #respirators.

Nice reminder for all communicating #scientists to be specific (by the Science Media Center):
"Talking about systems and processes and strategy without giving any examples of what that looks like to normal people reading the news puts even more distance between scientists and the people. The public are alienated and the meaning is lost."

@SusiArnott I don’t know. I liked that too, though it hits hard
@urlyman Whether we like it or not most #Scientists serve capitalism too, in our own ways
Scientists are moving from Twitter/X to Bluesky, drawn by its simpler design and less aggressive algorithms. 🧬
Still, Mastodon offers stronger privacy and open-source values, making it a better alternative for many. 🔒
Why not choose Mastodon? 🤔
Healthy, respectful science communication needs better social platforms. 🌐

Open science forms the pillar for mankind to invent a better world, and a society worth living in. Or so it should be, if academia weren’t held captive or willing prisoner to commercial interests. Fediverse opens new grazing grounds for #scientists, #engineers, or anyone for that matter, to uncover new #wisdom and #insights collectively.
If only more #OpenScience tools would add #ActivityPub support to join our #fediverse.
But we have @bonfire Open Science app, and @scifed as early adopters.
The free and #commons-based fediverse grows organically, like a beautiful garden. Social web technologies can only emerge and evolve by #CommonsParticipation, crafted by many people with love and the joy of coding, while exploring realms of creation.
Joyful creation is where #fediverse allows us to ✨ social code the social code together.
