Social media sharing icons removed from the Aalto's Research Portal – More flexible configuration coming in 2026
All social media sharing icons have been removed from Aalto University’s research portal (https://research.aalto.fi/), as the current system does not allow the removal or replacement of individual icons. Our initial goal was to replace the X service with Bluesky, but due to technical limitations, this was not possible.
Many researchers have moved to Bluesky and would prefer sharing content there instead of on X. Since we couldn’t change just one social media icon, we removed all of them from the research portal.
In 2026, the portal will get a new layout with more flexible settings, allowing us to bring back some icons based on user needs.
Aalto University has already stopped posting on X and now shares content on other platforms, including Bluesky.

Herd immunity may not work how we think
A new study from researchers at Aalto University suggests that our picture of herd immunity may be incomplete — and that understanding how people are connected could be just as important as knowing how many are immune.
