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. ❤️

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.

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)
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.

It’s less about heroism and it’s also not about victimhood.

It is more of a niche-serving approach.

You find the use case the dominant system cannot see, or cannot afford to serve, or has actively written off as worthless. You build for that. You make it work for the people who need it. And you let the alternative become obsolete not by confronting it, but by making it irrelevant.

That is the crux of it.

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...
Concrete examples
A research lab runs a PDS using custom lexicons for their experimental data and publications. The bridge watches their repository and pushes daily snapshots to mylab/datasets on Underlay. The PDS is the lab's active workspace. The Underlay collection is the permanent, citable archive.

A journal pushes article records to Underlay through its publishing platform. The bridge writes each new article to a PDS. The journal's output is now part of the AT network, discoverable in any client that understands the lexicon. A Bluesky user can follow the journal's DID and see new articles in their feed alongside social posts.

A library wants to preserve a set of public collections. It runs its own Underlay instance and mirrors them. It also subscribes to the AT Proto relays for those accounts and indexes the firehose for its discovery interface. Same data, two access patterns: archival via Underlay, real-time via AT Proto.

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.

"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
Several decentralized social-network protocols are increasingly being taken up by platforms for scholarly collaboration. ActivityPub [28] enables federated message exchange across independently operated servers and underlies Mastodon and the wider Fediverse. The AT Protocol underlying Bluesky [18] lets users choose their own moderators, so each builds a personal trusted view from independently signed assertions. Building on this protocol, Semble [10] is a research-oriented social knowledge network that gives researchers ownership of their data across applications and surfaces collections through peer networks rather than algorithmic feeds. Complementing these protocol-level efforts, the Open Research Knowledge Graph [15] follows a curated approach, representing scholarly content directly as a structured knowledge graph.

IOSP is a wonderful event by @scios.tech focused on building the open science stack of the future: modular research, community owned infra, novel funding. And we’re putting on an #ATScience workshop at the upcoming meeting - join us Leiden, Oct 12-15! Details in thread 👇 www.iosp.science#iosp2026
IOSP 2026
12 → 15
October 2026
Venue
Poortgebouw, University of Leiden, and GO FAIR host us on Oct 12, 13, and 15. Oct 14 is our community field day: we leave the workshop rooms behind for walking sessions, informal working groups, and a field trip to the National Open Science Festival in Delft — a day for the community to experience life together, not just work together, before we reconvene for the final day.

Many osf.io features could be built on #atproto: your project repos would be hosted on your PDS (eg your bluesky acct). Institutions could host PDSs, distributing costs. Every record would have a unique id (analogous to a doi). Multiple apps could access the records in multiple ways @atproto.science

2/ First - science communication! @atproto.science anyone? If social media discussions are so important to science and we value open science, how can this discourse be happening on opaque, closed platforms? see also bsky.app/profile/rone...
The future of scientific communication may look very different from the present. Researchers might release shorter outputs more frequently, including datasets, code, preliminary findings, and methodological notes. Dynamic papers could update automatically as underlying data changes. Public peer review, conducted in the open rather than behind closed doors, could offer faster feedback loops. This is clearly seen by reference to machine learning communities, which already rapidly replicate papers posted to online repositories and turn social media platforms into forums for debate.In 1950, scientists mailed typewritten manuscripts to journal editors, who sent copies to reviewers from their personal networks at top universities. Today, researchers post papers online within hours of completion. Thousands read and debate the merits of the work immediately on social media and in discussion channels. Code gets replicated on the internet months before the paper appears in print.
