#crisisinformatics community members have produced a guided bibliography to support new pandemic research; this body of research conjoins computing & social science knowledge to investigate socio-behavioral, socio-technical crisis phenomena tinyurl.com/crisisinformatic…
Excited NSF has funded our timely research that looks at how humans and machines each add unique value to the decision-making process as we try to recognize and respond to patterns that emerge from social media data during the COVID-19 pandemic nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAwar…
Even more thrilled to be working with amazing collaborators on the grant: Keri K. Stephens @keristephens (UT Austin), Hemant Purohit @hemant_pt (George Mason), & Steve Peterson @EmergencyComms (Montgomery County CERT)

Social media sites created during a crisis fall in three main categories: info dissemination, offers of help, and expressions of solidarity during a wildfire. Similar to #hurricaneharvey #ISCRAM2018 thanks Apoorva Chatham and @PIOResearcher

"Remember that each country is unique and will have its own customs, norms and laws. Make sure you abide by them. Don't blame others for mistakes, accept them, learn from them, and then move on!" Fantastic keynote by @andrejverity at ISCRAM 2018.
