I’m late to this - but very happy to announce this best-paper award winning work with @kevinbryson_ Alek Binion Ahmad Bamba Luca Dovichi Arthur Borem and Blase Ur at #CHI2024 We look at how data scientists make fairness related decisions throughout the DS cycle 🧵

The Student Application Support Program is live! As a Ph.D. applicant in computer science, you can receive feedback on your statement of purpose from current Ph.D. students as part of efforts to increase access to opportunities in CS. Apply by Nov 25th. forms.gle/j63A9Kfg49nauz…

we're running the student application support program for computer science phd student applicants at @UChicagoCS again this year! apply by nov 25th! forms.gle/j63A9Kfg49nauz…

TikTok users feel its algorithm is eerily accurate. But from everything we know about the algorithm, it's a pretty standard recommender system of the kind that every major social platform uses. TikTok's real innovation is something else. Just posted: knightcolumbia.org/blog/tiktoks-s…

so happy to see brown cs utas unionizing! so long overdue given how central student workers are to literally every part of the department! docs.google.com/document/d/1f4…

Applying to a CS PhD? You should be aware of graduate application support programs!! These programs give applicants informal feedback (on statements, etc) from current PhD students before formally applying. Fairly new, but amazing stuff. I'm tracking them below:

Announcing our new Student Application Support Program, which allows prospective students from marginalized or underrepresented populations in CS to receive feedback on their applications before submitting them to the university. Apply by November 15th. forms.gle/TwvvWUaNA24aAX…

@tinyhappygoat i was proud in the moment but now here we are...

@_wiyu wait same hahaha

I always appreciate those who take time to write out tips for the hidden curriculum of graduate school and faculty life, especially when they do it succinctly. In this vein, I enjoyed the 7 min read on How to (CS) PhD by @JChanenson jakec007.github.io/2022-01-16-phd… 1/n

Ever wondered how TikTok recommends videos? We are conducting a research study to understand recommendations by asking people to donate their TikTok data! Sign up: mpisws.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2b… More info: social-media-data-donator.mpi-sws.org

soo @kellybwagman is at it again with a *brilliant* zine titled "Gender, Power, + Tech!" It's such a crisp distillation of feminist theory and how it applies to all things race / tech / computing...with incredible illustrations to boot. kellybwagman.com/zine

OnlyFans would be nothing without the sex workers whose labor built it up into a major platform. Now it’s tossing them aside, and removing a vital source of income from a population of workers who are disproportionately marginalized and have no protections under U.S. labor law

@grumpybao a timely discussion on the tl today lol twitter.com/sibelitaz/stat…

@salvara1_ @sibelitaz idk if this is also a problem (it used to be with me), but firefox is much lighter and won't make your computer's fan scream constantly! OneTab is also helpful because it closes but saves tabs you want to keep around but doesn't keep them open using up computer resources

@salvara1_ @ricedreamstan @KaylaSHouston @stewonthegrind congrats to all!!! on the graduation too!!!!!!!!!
