20 posts held, back to 7 August 2026 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 pageof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
ERR is average views per post over the last 30 days divided by subscribers, the definition TGStat uses, so this figure is comparable with the one you will see elsewhere. It falls structurally as a channel grows: a high ERR on a small channel and a low one on a large channel describe reach mathematics, not quality. We publish the figure and the sample it came from and pass no verdict on it.
ER is defined industry-wide as (forwards + reactions + comments) ÷ views— note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegram’s public web preview carries views and reactions but not forward or comment counts, so the reaction rate above is the reactions term only and is therefore a floor: the true ER for this channel is higher by an amount we have not measured and will not estimate.

Views are a single reading per post, taken at the time above. A post published in the last day or two is still accumulating views, which pulls the 30-day average down slightly. That is a property of the standard definition rather than a fault in it, so we keep the definition rather than “correcting” the number into something nobody can reproduce.
Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form — 8.12K, 3.7M — so any reading at or above 1,000 reaches us rounded to three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. Averages and rates derived from them are shown to the same precision rather than to the unit: a figure like 3,701,250 would assert digits nobody measured.
Reaction counts are published per emoji and rounded the same way, so a total below 1,000 is exact and a larger one is a sum that may carry a rounded component from each emoji above 1,000. Because it is a sum, it does not look rounded — read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.
A large experiment finds that removal of noncompete clauses increases labor mobility between competing firms by 36–52% and raises workers’ total earnings by 12–17%. There is no evidence that removal of noncompete clauses leads to secret leakage nor that workers choose noncompete jobs for higher pay. https://academic.oup.com/qje/advance-article/doi/10.1093/qje/qjag040/8756424 https://redd.it/1viy9uc @r_sciencegeeks
Common microplastic may increase risk of fatty liver disease. Research found people who ate a more Western-style diet, including foods like burgers and sodas, may have a greater chance of progressing to fatty liver disease if they are also exposed to polyethylene https://stories.tamu.edu/news/2026/08/03/common-microplastic-may-increase-risk-of-fatty-liver-disease-study-finds/ https://redd.it/1vis2xj @r_sciencegeeks
Brain scans reveal widespread structural and functional changes in patients following COVID-19 infection. The virus affects regions responsible for memory, emotion, and executive function, which may help explain the neurological symptoms many patients experience. https://www.psypost.org/brain-scans-reveal-widespread-structural-and-functional-changes-in-patients-foll/ https://redd.it/1viw7lf @r_sciencegeeks
Babies of vegan mothers had no difference in median birth weight or rate of premature delivery as those from unrestricted diet mothers, study of 10,338 births finds. The mothers had no difference in rates of anemia, blood transfusions, or gestational diabetes / hypertension, but had lower BMI. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42059364/ https://redd.it/1viuqbv @r_sciencegeeks
When parents are stressed, kids get more screen time: according to U.S. study, parents experiencing emotional distress were less likely to consistently enforce screen-time limits, while those who felt overwhelmed by their child's behavior were more likely to use screens to manage difficult moments https://news.fiu.edu/2026/when-parents-are-stressed-kids-get-more-screen-time-study-finds https://redd.it/1vitkou @r_sci…

E-scooters far more dangerous than motorbikes or bicycles. Study of accidents in England and Wales shows e-scooter riders 3x more likely to suffer traumatic brain injury than bikers. They also sustained more internal organ and blood vessel damage than did motorcyclists or pedal cyclists. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2026/aug/06/e-scooters-more-dangerous-than-motorbikes-or-cycles-analysis https://redd.it/1vihc…

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @r_sciencegeeks. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 23 August 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
