ATProto Science

We made a thing! Check out our new #ATScience ecosystem map ✨ All projects, organized in one place: atproto.science/ecosystem/

Introducing #Assemblage 🧡 Add @semble.so cards and collections and @margin.at annotations to an infinite canvas, draw connections between them to create context, expand your understanding and see the bigger picture! → assemblage.renderg.host #ATscience 🧪 #ATmosphere 🌀 #ATproto 🪿 #ATberlin 🧶

At the end of #IOSP2026 we did a round of "what are you excited for?" It was great to hear one of the participants say "my new @aster.id !" Let's do this!!

Reach out to us if you want to help out with organizing the event! (part of @atmosphereconf.org April 29-May 2, Amsterdam)

@mattakamatsu.aster.id kicking us off today with an overview of @mira.science - a new modular medium to improve coordination in research! #IOSP2026

MIRA enables humans and agents to collaborate more effectively, and supports a growing ecosystem of tools and protocols including @atproto.science !

@ronentk.me demoes @semble.so — there's so much cool stuff on here — and explaining that it's 2026 and people still need bookmarks. He's got you sorted.

@gui.do rocking it showing the world @sifa.id, and his thinking about the many signals of trust in research or professional contexts.

@byarielm.fyi officiating the launch of @aster.id, home of researchers on the Atmosphere! Society is plural, democracy is plural — piece by piece we're making the internet plural as well.

Disco time! 🕺 @robin.berjon.com presenting matadisco.org for atproto powered data discovery #iosp2026

Later today, we're going to be welcoming the first researchers onto our PDS at #IOSP2026! Aster ID starts today. 🌼

Hey @atproto.science ppl 👋 which researcher profiles do you actually keep updated? e.g. @orcid.org, Google Scholar, ResearchGate, university/lab page, LinkedIn, funder CV's (NWO, ERC, NIH biosketch), Academia.edu, conference apps... Anything else...? Which ones do you never (or hate to) update?

Recap of yesterday's CIDS assembly at TUD @tudresden.bsky.social Philipp @lorenzspreen.eurosky.social had a proper booth for the Synosys poster. I brought an A3 print, and people found that funny. That's a resource allocation problem. The real value was the conversations, so here they are 🧵

yet another example of scientists vibing better ways to navigating conferences because the current system is trash. we (atproto) have a real surface here if we can get a cohesive solution into the hands of conference attendees and organizer #atdev @atproto.science

@emily.space presenting @aster.id by @atproto.science at @atproto.wien meet up in #Vienna. Aster.id will be the future home for research in the open web.

What if researchers owned their accounts, their data and their networks? We think they should, and we are building it. @atproto.science Tomorrow we will show it at the CIDS assembly at TU Dresden, with Philipp @lorenzspreen.eurosky.social @tudresden.bsky.social 14:15–15:00. Come ask us anything

I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS!! 6+ months of work by SO many people is converging on a fantastic thing for researchers online. We want to democratize access to research infrastructure online, for good, and we've put together an amazing team to make it happen. ❤️

This is going to be big, kudos to the @aster.id team. We can just transform research, together 🤝 #wecanjustdothings

If you're attending COLM, @mariaa.bsky.social has built you an atproto app... - Build your paper schedule - See the ongoing discussion around papers and active discussions - Create and find events - COLM-specific feed Join us! lea.ac/conferences/...

This is fantastic! Imagine how cool it would be to have a version only for all the science conversations 🤯 #Academicsky #ATScience 🧪

I made a little social bibliography atproto app. You can post papers you read and see what your friends are reading. Paper info autofills from links, and it exports to bibtex. There's chronological and following only feeds, maybe more to come, and you can organize papers into lists for your own use.

We heard there were a lot of @atproto.science discussions here... Watch this space ;) (and welcome @mirascience.bsky.social !)

I'm convinced that open social protocols like #atproto have a crucial role to play in the future of science. Excited to share MOSAIC - our best effort at articulating the thesis, why it matters, and how to build and fund it (in collab w/ @exgenesis.ingroup.social ) 🧵

"A counterculture does something else entirely. It finds the ungoverned space, builds the parallel system, and reaches the audience first. The mainstream is then forced to respond to something it had neither authorised nor understood." Great theory of change for science (and a lot of other fields)

Very cool project connecting atproto with the Underlay knowledge graph protocol "[The Underlay] is an archive. [atproto] is a wire. Together they give a collection both permanence and real-time distribution." And check out these neat #ATScience examples too! www.underlay.org/blog/2026-04...

Who's up for #ATScience 2027 edition?

Awesome stuff! In "trad" sci, the rich web of blogs and social media engagement with research is flattened into a "mentions" counter. With interfaces like these and @atproto.science more broadly we can start treating these as valuable contributions in their own right! For example, >

"The key idea is that open science training provides tools for critiquing published research, for deciding what to trust, and for challenging institutional power." This is relevant to our work at #ATScience

@atproto.berlin 🤝 @atproto.science Let's chat!

Simulating a full #ATScience IOSP workshop session on the Toons cartoon wall. 4 boards, 30 participants, 12x speed. Dogs & blossoms for check-ins, handshakes for @youandme.at connections, a blur of thermometers for live sensor data, croissants & radios for noizetoyz notes. hacking.tilde.style

I tell you, the match between #atproto and open academic publishing is made in heaven. If we have learned anything from the for-profit-publishing, AI slop, and Twitter/X polycrisis, the future of academic publishing is decentralized eprints on #atproto, an it may well begin right here.

Alongside a bunch of bug fixes, we've got a few new features on chive.pub we're excited about. Most of them involve connecting a paper to other things that relate to it on the Atmosphere and beyond.

Developed by @meri.garden, sponsored by @cosmik.network on behalf of the @atproto.science Roomy community, we present to you: Cross-space federation of channels 💞

Lab setup for #ATScience IOSP workshop plays atmosphere synths sounds. FMOp, Wavefolding, Filtering, Delay & Reverb via Mozzi audio library. Every interaction at the on-screen keyboard publishes a music.atproto.noizetoyz.synth.note record and re-broadcasts to a listener on the Wemos/ESP8266 boards.

Check out our August update! The theme this month is - Atmosphere apps, organizing. Also, a new ecosystem map for @atproto.science and new additions to @semble.so - onboarding flow, browser extension and new Connection types.

Exciting vision for @skyreader.app, with lots of cool use cases for research as well. Added to the ecosystem map atproto.science/ecosystem/ ✅ (and we should have added it a long time ago 😅)

What's happening in #ATProto Science community is pretty remarkable. If you're an academic and you're not following this space, have a look at all that's being built: atproto.science/ecosystem/ (most are in very early stages of dev, but still awesome to peek at what's coming) 🧵

Foresight AI Nodes Program: AI for Science & Epistemics foresight.org/grants/grant... They already run Nodes in San Francisco and Berlin. @atproto.science 🫶 @atproto.berlin

"Several decentralized social-network protocols are increasingly being taken up by platforms for scholarly collaboration" 🚀 @semble.so and @atproto.science in knowledgepixels.com/nanopub-ecos... by @tobiaskuhn.bsky.social

Great thread! Illustrates why open social networks (like @atproto.science ) matter *more than ever* for science in the age of AI

@atproto.amsterdam Maybe some of you would like to join?
