Is there anything more disheartening as a researcher to post your study on LinkedIn and five minutes later have to take the post down as it's been swarmed by bots? #phdlife #academicsky

Lovely #musicsky #musicscience folks please would you help promote my study here for me instead?

Loved presenting our research on music and social identities, co-authored with @studylistening.bsky.social, at #MUSICCONNEX.

We explored how people position themselves within or outside of the “wider music community”

And my red bow tie received positive peer review 🎀

@h-r-peltola.bsky.social suggests that online music platforms allow rich ways for self-construction. Through digital ethnography data on young Finns, she summarised the insights of the thematic analysis into three: 1. discovery, 2. engagement, and 3. social interaction. #MUSICONNEX #musicscience
