There is so much godforsaken news every day, but the tiniest bit of good news was that I was awarded tenure and promoted to associate professor at @colorado.edu! connections.cu.edu/stories/tenu...
🎉🎉 I DID A TED TALK! 🎉🎉
Even better, it’s all about #AI and humanity (but also death and grief, if you’re into that). Please like, comment, and SHARE — both because I’m super proud of it, but also because of the algorithm (!) #HCI #computing #technology #faith

This is a good example where the "feel" of data can really vary by a simple chart change - from pie chart to bar graph.
While the 🥧 pie chart looks like 3 roughly-equal groups of people, the "didn't vote" group jumps out in a 📊 bar graph

After moving from Bucknell to CU, folks often ask me "why switch to R1?"
But in the background, I also weighed teaching-track + liberal arts offers. I hope this conversation about shifting careers + a value-centered job search resonates with some

A write-up on our #NeurIPS2024 work on the challenges curators face trying to curate fair ML datasets. For those attending NeurIPS, @dorazhao.bsky.social will be presenting this work as an oral on December 13 :)

And as background for this, some of the findings from @brianckeegan.com's and my NSF funded work on Twitter-Mastodon migration with @mattnicholson.bsky.social @blakeley.bsky.social & @jojuliz.bsky.social are described here: medium.com/cuinfoscienc...
I wrote for @us.theconversation.com about how I see Bluesky's recent growth in the context of research on social media migration!
I don't think folks here necessarily WANT a "new Twitter," but that Bluesky has the potential to recapture some of what people liked. theconversation.com/bluesky-isnt...

Hi, so I've spent the past almost-decade studying research uses of public social media data, like e.g. ML researchers using content from Twitter, Reddit, and Mastodon.
Anyway, buckle up this is about to be a VERY long thread with lots of thoughts and links to papers. 🧵
Huge thanks to Ally Cohen and The World We Are Building Podcast for having @whatknows.bsky.social and I on to discuss the @digital-legacy.bsky.social Digital Legacy Clinic! Listen to Jed say smart things about death and tech. I also say things. @colorado.edu @cuboulder.info shorturl.at/chlbk

My favorite slide from a talk I gave this week about the launch of the Digital Legacy Clinic (@digital-legacy.bsky.social) at @cuboulder.info. I wasn’t certain if I had done enough research, but a year ago Liz Gerber gave me the right push at the right time. Grateful for her support! #digitallegacy

Trying something new:
A 🧵 on a topic I find many students struggle with: "why do their 📊 look more professional than my 📊?"
It's *lots* of tiny decisions that aren't the defaults in many libraries, so let's break down 1 simple graph by @jburnmurdoch.bsky.social
