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.

Any science people interested in us integrating with @orcid.org to automatically show you publications on your profile?

How would you expect this to work and/or look like?

Happy to have a chat about this!

Brilliant stuff from @maxine.science on Building decentralized AI on atproto: "the network is the force multiplier".

Not part of the #atscience day, but deserves the hashtag. Hope @emily.space is watching this.
Positive-sum > zero-sum Sharing data makes everyone's models better- including yours. This is how a 10-person org competes with a 10,000-person org: the network is the force multiplier.atdata Open framework for scientific datasets on atproto Entries Dataset metadata & storage locations, published as atproto records on your PDS Schemas Machine-readable type definitions - what's in the data, how to use it Lenses View data across any compatible schema, not just the one it was published withEntries & labels Human-readable names, cryptographic IDs underneath Entry Dataset metadata + storage location, as an atproto record on your PDS Label Versioned alias: mnist@1.0.0 AppView Aggregates datasets, resolves resolveLabel + resolveSchema, provides backup and feeds

Just made my first post from @curvenote.com to my PDS using the AT Proto variant of OXA 🚀🚀🚀. was still working on this when @row1.ca was giving his #ATScience talk yesterday. More about OXA and links to the PDS record in my post.

Introducing skytrails by @kennypeng.bsky.social, a way to browse posts across Bluesky!

Follow trails to navigate the space of content/conversations here, and discover new interests beyond your usual feeds 🕸️

I'll talk more about it tomorrow in my talk at #atscience #atmosphereconf!
Kenny Peng @kennypeng.bsky.social
Excited to share our new research demo, where you can freely traverse the world of Bluesky through 20,000 interconnected trails, spanning “analysis of fictional tropes” to “rotisserie chicken” to “zoning and land use policy.”

Try it out, and let us know what you think!

🪩 Introducing matadisco.org! — a way to discover open datasets via #atproto that doesn't depend on any single institution staying online. 🕺🏼

We have more public data than ever (satellite imagery, climate models, genomic sequences), but finding it is still painfully hard.
