Oh gods, my students have started asking chatbots to make graphs for them.

Check out this project friends in the bat world have been working on:
"Bat Literature Project (BatLit)—a freely available, versioned, multilingual, and citable digital archive of bat research and bibliographic metadata...providing stable, open access to over 20,000 publications contributed by the global bat research community.'
Using FediWings (https://rstockm.github.io/fediwings/) by @rstockm, I've calculated the net reach across the Fediverse of German universities during the last 30 days. Here are the top 5:
1. Universität Ulm (@UniUlm): 6860
2. Technische Universität Berlin (@tuberlin): 4315
3. RWTH Aachen: (@rwthaachenuniversity): 3660
4. Universität Bremen (@unibremen): 3352
5. Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz (unimainz@wisskomm.social): 3307
Next up are @tu_freiberg, @tudresden, @Uni_Stuttgart, @tu_muenchen, and @hszg.
Thanks to @54gradsoftware for providing the list of universities.
