      Scientists are not fast at abandoning established ways of communication. I mean they still publish the same way as a century ago, its just now digital too. It took a whole friggin’ pandemic for life science researchers to embrace the concept of pre-prints. 8 months to move from twitter sounds almost fast.

      Thanks, Elon. This is why we can’t have good science.
