Best match combines word and meaning matches. Phrases, hashtags, accounts and websites guide which posts fit; timely queries also favor recent posts. Match labels describe why a post appears, not its quality or accuracy.
I went on the Stereo Chemistry pod to talk about--what else--stereochemistry! That being the topic of this year's #ChemNobel. (Cut for time: me yapping about linocut, neutrinos, and a running joke among the science team concerning the chirality of cows.)
#LGBTQWriteAThon #TheColorsThatHaunt This week was huge because The Colors That Haunt Us released on October 8! Most of my energy went into that, my b-day, and getting used to the book being out in the world. I did some planning too, but “published a book” absolutely counts as this week’s progress.

#Colleges Adopted ‘Systemic Suppression’ of #Protesters, New Investigation Shows Drawing on records, media reports and surveys, the #ACLU and #AmnestyInternational USA break down how colleges have “disproportionately” violated the rights of pro-Palestinian students. The “McCarthyite #censorship” against individuals who exercised their right to free speech and criticized the Israeli government for the nation’s protracted war in Gaza continues to this day, authors argue. insidehighered.com/news/studen…

Ever wonder where the neutrinos seen by the IceCube telescope come from? We investigate that in our latest paper, where we show evidence of a correlation between radio flares seen by the VLA Sky Survey and astrophysical neutrinos. With @theotherpsf.bsky.social, Eric Hooper, and Michael Martinez

Great opportunity to read up on the current could-AI-be-conscious debate. Seth: "More plausible as AI becomes more brain-like and life-like" prompting the questions, what is life, and what counts as life-like?

I wonder how many men who went on to win Nobel prizes were denied tenure. Another way to put this is to ask if women doing path breaking, innovative work have a harder time getting funded or getting published.
Because evidently we raise pedophiles and misogynists from birth? I have two sons who would never treat women and children like this!

Artificial intelligence agents are increasingly being used to interpret and even conduct science. But are they able to accurately distinguish science that is solid from science that is subpar? cen.acs.org/policy/publi... #chemsky 🧪

Search looks through the last 36 hours of public posts for your words, "exact phrases", #hashtags, @handles and websites, and also finds posts about the same thing by meaning. New posts join about every 10 minutes. We only include posts whose authors allow logged-out viewing (Bluesky) or search (Mastodon, indexable accounts), and we re-check Bluesky authors each time we show a page. Likes and follower counts never decide the order. For meaning matches, query text is turned into a fingerprint on Wildroot’s own server (EmbeddingGemma-300M); it is never sent to another service. Wildroot does not save query text to disk. Looking for posts like one you have? Similar posts. How to opt out.
