I think Ryan is right here: As knowledge production becomes easier, the hard task becomes its consumption.

It's also why I'm building @scilove.bsky.social - hoping it will help with this task!

How and why does support for redistribution change across the seasons? ☀️

Excited to present new work with @hannaschwander.bsky.social tomorrow at the University of Barcelona.

I'm working to hard make SciLove available as a self-standing app.

📣 If you are an Android user, you can help out by becoming a tester. What's in it for you? Early access to a fully functional beta version.

Simply join the group of test users and install the app: groups.google.com/g/scilove_be...

Spread the word. Once we have enough testers together, google will generously allow making SciLove openly available through the App store.

Obviously that should say I'm "working hard to" but maybe I'm also working a little too hard on it

In case you are wondering, SciLove is a new tool I built that helps you keep up with research in your favorite journals.

Check it out at www.scilove.app or see the thread below👇

You should be able to scroll down, accept the terms and continue?

Yeah, I'm curios what qualifies as "advanced casual"

Casual methods also taking over at Oxford 😍

Political socialization and immigrants’ support for progressive politics: the case of green parties (Lindemann, Valentim, 2026) Progressive parties often advocate pro-immigration policies but do not attract equal support from all immigrant groups.

Lots to like, but yeah, scientists are a tough crowd.

New users came in quickly, especially from political science--which is where I'm home. Really appreciate many of you spreading the word.

Mostly European researchers so far. Germany 🇩🇪 leads, followed by the US 🇺🇸, UK 🇬🇧, France 🇫🇷, and Netherlands 🇳🇱.

Thank you Hanna, that's very kind! Unlike Tinder though, the papers do not reject you ;) (h/t @robertvief.bsky.social)

Keeping up with research just got a lot more fun!

@beckerbastian.bsky.social has built something genuinely clever: a “Tinder for science” that helps you discover papers in a much more intuitive way.

If you’re tired of endless PDFs and search queries, give it a try 👉 www.SciLove.app

The journal structure is far from perfect right now, especially outside of political science, where my knowledge is limited. Thanks for sharing the list, I'll look into it. In the meantime, let me know if you are missing specific journals.

Put it on the list, will be added with the next update.
