A typical post picks up 130 interactions against 4.8M followers, an engagement rate of 0.003%. Measured over 242 original posts, its engagement rate beats 25% of 6,493 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 40K times each, and 0.329% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.832% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.

Measured over 242 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 9, 2026. Recurring tags: #scienceperspective, #sciencemagarchives, #sciencepodcast.
