I'm leaving Twitter, for obvious reasons. I'll still check this, but let's connect on Bluesky!

...But before I leave I need to share this amazing article with you all!
‼️New pub alert‼️ Woke up to see this out today in @SocialMedia_Soc! In this study, we seek to understand disclosure among those with intersecting stigmas in Mumbai. This work also brought me to India last year where I finally got to meet our wonderful collaborators in-person!
Thanks for the shout out @RetractionWatch!
“'They Only Silence the Truth': COVID-19 retractions and the politicization of science."

New publication alert! 🚨
Scientific retractions are increasingly being spun into conspiracies about science on social media. Agnes Horvat and I document this worrying trend in the context of COVID-19.

5) What do retractions do for science credibility? @Maarten_Derksen points out that corrections may undermine more foundational tenants of scientific practice. Calls to mind @zephoria's Jenga tower.
7) What are the epistemic challenges of AI? @b_penders discusses some conditions under which AI can be considered legitimate in science.
At the roundtable on #scientificcorrections at @STSeasst! I will live tweet some important points.
4) Is transparency always desirable? @NicoleCNelson argues that describing the reasons for retraction won't necessarily convince skeptical audiences of the legitimacy of the retraction.
3) Different epistemic cultures within fields/countries produce different rates of errors (but also, different rates of error corrections).
2) Replication crisis is based in part on a familiar STS issue. Does the replication fail because of the original study was wrong, or because the replication methods were?
1) Retractions are up, but not necessarily because academic fraud is up; probably because scrutiny of science is increasing (I agree with this).
My research on violent meme detection with @aysed_9, @villaturek, @ChloeMortenson and @mowafakallaham received a top paper award from the visual communication division at NCA @NatComm! Come see me present it at the @SocMediaConf on Thursday!
I'm presenting on a virtual panel about the online (mis)use of science this Wednesday! Follow the link for registration information. Hope to see you there! scientistsspeakup.wixsite.co…
I had the distinct pleasure of presenting my research on extremist meme classification at the Stanford Trust & Safety Conference this weekend. Thank you @stanfordio for such a well-run conference experience!
