#Introduction
Hi all, I am Elisabeth Bik, @microbiomdigest on Twitter. I am a Dutch/American microbiologist with a PhD from Utrecht University (not an MD).
In 2019 I started working for myself. I specialize in #ImageForensics, i.e. searching for image problems in published scientific papers, #ResearchIntegrity and #ScienceMisconduct.
Hope to meet and discuss problems in science papers with you here!
I mostly post #ImageForensics challenges or rant about #SciencePublishing.
@ElisabethBik excited to see your favorite timeline members make the migration, makes it feel more like home :)
Be careful about your retweets - make sure not to crosspost things with videos! They get uploaded to your instance and take up a ton of space, general courtesy here.
@LeslieSutton
Thanks for the pointer. I have only uploaded short clips, but even for those i can put on my server dbc3.com and just put a link in a post.
@ElisabethBik you can automate the crossposting process using https://moa.party/
@ElisabethBik yes please bring #ImageForensics to #ScienceMastodon 
@ElisabethBik Welcome. Good to see you here.
@ElisabethBik Welcome Elisabeth! I loved #ImageForensics time on Twitter and look forward to that here. But please don't crosspost from Twitter (no issues doing it the other way round :D ). Lots of folks here filter content like that and it would be nice to not have to keep opening links that lead us back to Twitter. Thanks! :)
@ElisabethBik welkom Elisabeth! Er zijn van die accounts waarbij je hoopt dat ze ook de oversteek gaan maken. Blij als het dan ook gebeurt!
@ElisabethBik Looking forward to following you and your work here, thank you for joining!
I would suggest to limit or thoughtful about crossposting, and avoid automatic tools. My reason for suggesting so is: do we want to port the birdsite experience here as it is, or whether we want to create something new/better, more welcoming.
@lgatto I surely would not want to see all of Twitter crossposted here, but I would have hoped that you would have enjoyed my own tweets crossposted. I am sorry that you are not enjoying that.
@ElisabethBik oh no, I do enjoy your messages. Sorry if I came across like that. Do post your content wherever you want, here and there.
@ElisabethBik sorry again, didn’t want to tell you what to do (or not to), just shared what I had seen and experienced so far.
@ElisabethBik Hope you will just post here and then post a link to your toot on Twitter. Pretty sure your loyal followers won't mind that at all.
In any case, keep up the good work!
@ElisabethBik Hi there, I don't think cross posting poses problems unless it's systematic/automatic and overloads the system you are on.
@ElisabethBik omg!!! I follow you on Twitter. Now, if only Retraction Watch joins Mastodon...
Also, super sorry about that French fraudster pestering you! That article he wrote was bonkers :(( Thanks for all you do, and I hope to see some of your little image challenges here!! :))))
@ElisabethBik A warm welcome to you, Elisabeth, so great to see you here!
I am pretty sure you will have nicer experiences here than you had before on the other site. You inspire us to keep looking for #ScienceMisconduct and train our eyes to #ImageForensics and for that I am very grateful 
@ElisabethBik You're here! 
Welcome!
@ElisabethBik Yes!!
takes a while to find everyone here I followed on the other platform. I feel such a boomer.
@ElisabethBik Glad to see you here!!
@ElisabethBik Wooo so happy to see you here! I hope more people will move as well. I always wanted to leave Twitter but damn- everyone is there. Thank you Elon for buying Twitter.
@ElisabethBik Happy to have found you on fediverse.
