In this final episode of the Professor Adolfo Neto podcast in 2025, I reflect on the landscape of how software engineering research is shared across social networks. 

Once vibrant on Twitter, academic conversations have migrated mostly to LinkedIn. Platforms like Bluesky, Mastodon, Instagram, and even Facebook struggle to have engagement.
