A (stale) proposal for using emoji in science

scimoji - a proposal for using emoji in science

Why?

That's quite simple:

1. I've seen lots of Pubmed-based chat rants and wars
2. Sometimes it's hard to keep track of'em
3. It'll (I hope) save time and cognitive resources on scale if used, being subject to Metcalfe's law 🤔
