ATScience 2026
Fri, Mar 27, 2026 at 3:30 PM - Sat, Mar 28, 2026
Join us for a full-day of scientific explorations on the AT Protocol. Taking place as a side event to ATmosphereConf 2026 (March 26-29, 2026), this gathering will bring together researchers, developers, and builders who are using ATProto for science, education, and open knowledge work. The event will feature presentations, panel discussions, project demos and an unconference. From academic researchers using Bluesky in innovative ways to new infrastructure for collaborative research and credentialing, we’ll explore how ATProto can support transformative new science applications. Join us in Vancouver, BC, Canada at the AMS Student Nest building.
Empowering science communities with open, democratic, researcher-owned infrastructure.

Awesome stuff! In "trad" sci, the rich web of blogs and social media engagement with research is flattened into a "mentions" counter. With interfaces like these and @atproto.science more broadly we can start treating these as valuable contributions in their own right! For example, >
Chive @chive.pub
Papers on chive.pub now have an Atmosphere tab, which collects up records elsewhere on the network that refer to it.

@atproto.berlin maybe a relevant funding opportunity for the community
(happy to brainstorm @atproto.science connections for the proposal if relevant)

Simulating a full #ATScience IOSP workshop session on the Toons cartoon wall. 4 boards, 30 participants, 12x speed. Dogs & blossoms for check-ins, handshakes for @youandme.at connections, a blur of thermometers for live sensor data, croissants & radios for noizetoyz notes. hacking.tilde.style
I tell you, the match between #atproto and open academic publishing is made in heaven.
If we have learned anything from the for-profit-publishing, AI slop, and Twitter/X polycrisis, the future of academic publishing is decentralized eprints on #atproto, an it may well begin right here.

Alongside a bunch of bug fixes, we've got a few new features on chive.pub we're excited about. Most of them involve connecting a paper to other things that relate to it on the Atmosphere and beyond.

Lab setup for #ATScience IOSP workshop plays atmosphere synths sounds. FMOp, Wavefolding, Filtering, Delay & Reverb via Mozzi audio library. Every interaction at the on-screen keyboard publishes a music.atproto.noizetoyz.synth.note record and re-broadcasts to a listener on the Wemos/ESP8266 boards.

Exciting vision for @skyreader.app, with lots of cool use cases for research as well. Added to the ecosystem map atproto.science/ecosystem/ ✅
(and we should have added it a long time ago 😅)

What's happening in #ATProto Science community is pretty remarkable. If you're an academic and you're not following this space, have a look at all that's being built: atproto.science/ecosystem/
(most are in very early stages of dev, but still awesome to peek at what's coming)

![Several decentralized social-network protocols are increasingly being taken up by platforms for scholarly collaboration. ActivityPub [28] enables federated message exchange across independently operated servers and underlies Mastodon and the wider Fediverse. The AT Protocol underlying Bluesky [18] lets users choose their own moderators, so each builds a personal trusted view from independently signed assertions. Building on this protocol, Semble [10] is a research-oriented social knowledge network that gives researchers ownership of their data across applications and surfaces collections through peer networks rather than algorithmic feeds. Complementing these protocol-level efforts, the Open Research Knowledge Graph [15] follows a curated approach, representing scholarly content directly as a structured knowledge graph.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:b2p6rujcgpenbtcjposmjuc3/bafkreiavcm54wc6dww6o3ogi7cc3pmyl7wgyw72jmplwhvxp6lxrrh5uza)

IOSP is a wonderful event by @scios.tech focused on building the open science stack of the future: modular research, community owned infra, novel funding. And we’re putting on an #ATScience workshop at the upcoming meeting - join us Leiden, Oct 12-15!

Would ppl be interested in an @atproto.science hack session at the Aug 22 @atproto.nyc community day?
Things like AI for science, hacking on @semble.so, Lea, feeds, @paper-feed.bsky.social, atmospheric personal sites for researchers
Tagging locals that might be around (feel free to tag more) >
