Where are scientists discussing papers now: Bluesky or X? I sampled 350 recent papers that had at least one post on X or Bluesky. The median paper got 29% of its X+Bluesky attention on Bluesky. Bluesky is substantial, but X appears active. #AcademicSky #ScienceSky #StatsSky

Visualization of the median per-paper Bluesky share of combined X and Bluesky attention for seven Nature-family journals (350 papers, 50 per journal, each with at least one X or Bluesky post), January to July 2026. Each dot is the journal's median; the bar shows the middle 50% of papers. The overall median is 29%. By journal: Nature Medicine 14%, Nature Genetics 25%, Nature 26%, Nature Communications 26%, Molecular Psychiatry 45%, npj Digital Medicine 50%, Nature Machine Intelligence 50%.

Defining phenotypes across 10,000s of ICD codes is manual & subjective. Phecoder semi-automates this, surfacing clinically relevant codes existing curation missed. Analysis led by Jamie Bennett. 📝 Preprint: www.medrxiv.org/content/10.6... 🖥️ Code: github.com/DiseaseNeuroGenomics/Phecoder
