@mjcrockett.bsky.social hi Molly - don’t know if you saw my launch of my-thesis.org but it is an attempt to promote authentic human communication. Let me know your thoughts
The internet is filling with AI-generated content. So I built something different. www.my-thesis.org indexes real researchers explaining their work in short talks—searchable by topic, institution, and keywords. Human knowledge. Direct from the source. #3MT #OpenScience #ResearchCommunication
