In this panel we will explore why, despite early momentum, the migration of researchers to Bluesky has waned. We will discuss better ways to onboard, retain, and attract researchers by highlighting the flexibility and extensibility of the AT Protocol. Panelists will share what's worked, what hasn't, and what a coordinated push to build a science ecosystem on Bluesky might look like.
