How can digital, quali-quantitative and computational methods help #STS? Join our session #051 @EASST2022Madrid ! Maximilian Fochler @STSvienna , @IsmaelRafols @S_RoseBieszczad @sarahderijcke and I @cwtsleiden would be thrilled to receive your submissions by 7th of Feb!

@BenjaminLipp Heartfelt congratulations!! :)

It’s on! #phd #defense

@dorottya_c @VirpiY @terezaspilioti @nottyknight @enrodney Congratulations @dorottya_c !! :))

Yesterday I passed my viva! It's been a slow journey, but I'm thrilled to be here. Thank you to my supervisor, @VirpiY , my reader, @terezaspilioti, and my examiners @nottyknight and @enrodney - they have helped me write a thesis I can be proud of.

Do U want to investigate opportunities and challenges online social networks pose to social inequalities, power & influence, civic activism? Special PhD Fellowships @dnds_ceu: "Social Networks – Online and Offline": bit.ly/2E2QbNj. #SeeUatCEU

How does the free press die in a western democracy? Here's our investigation into how Hungary's leading independent news outlet was turned into a cheerleader for Viktor #Orban, the far-right prime minister. nytimes.com/2018/11/24/wor…

A few snapshots from today’s #NemHagyjuk actions at @ceuhungary & ELTE. Students and faculty are protesting the Hungarian gov ban of #genderstudies with teach-ins, feminist poetry & lectures on #academicfreedom & gender. #IstandwithCEU

kg redefined - derived from constant. Current kg falls short of ideals. It's value isn't stable and it is locked in a safe. "Planck’s constant never changes, so it is the same for all time. And its value is woven into the fabric of the universe, so it is there for everyone.” #STS

I much agree with @roalisco ! Movie highly recommended, very #STS relevant. Don't read reviews beforehand!

Evaluative inquiry #STS @cwtsleiden Versatile methods: where&how of academic values. Contextual focus: study the building of common worlds not the excellent individual. Knowledge diplomacy: move past standardised analysis. Accountability: as ongoing engagement, not single report.

A piece of research censored by the #Hungarian government, instead of getting silenced, got commented by scientists & the public - as the manuscript shared on "Dropbox became a site of #citizen science", - picked up by journalists, and the authors got invited to conferences. #STS

Great piece about war on #science in #Hungary! "Where is Hungary headed after 2018? It seems clear that whatever the government has in mind for the regime’s subsequent evolution, the social sciences are not welcome to scrutinize it." #STS

How #climatechange affects #forensics: "rising temperatures are driving cadaver-eating blow flies to migrate north in search of cooler weather, with consequences for forensic scientists who rely on them to solve crimes." bit.ly/2yLI1pj #STS

@ivanflis Congrats :))!

CEU’s BoT announced today that incoming students for our U.S.-accredited masters and doctoral programs will study at the new CEU campus in Vienna from AY 2019-20. #IStandwithCEU ceu.edu/article/2018-1…

@ivanflis Awesome, thanks @ivanflis ! :)

#Hungary's law banning homeless to live on streets bit.ly/2On3TBl takes effect tomorrow. On top of it, the government changed the law 2 days ago which makes it even easier to confiscate homeless' belongings bit.ly/2RODKJr #inequality

The future of #DataSciece ? Head of Mozilla Foundation warns that tech companies need to hire more people from backgrounds in #philosophy, #anthropology, #sociology, #ethics, #psychology, and launches grant to include relevant topics into #CS #STEM education. #digital #STS #RRI

Great post by @altibel about #archive research! "Understanding an archive's catalogue requires time to understand the various keywords used and the different documents that it contains. That is, if there is a catalogue at all." Is this the true #bigdata?

On the #ethics and #affect of #bigdata : "That's exciting and inspiring and daunting in some ways that we’re actually talking about real families, about kids growing up in different #neighborhoods based on this data,” #map #STS #policy nyti.ms/2OrlLtV

"At that scale, these patterns — a refinement of previous research at the county level — have become much less theoretical, and easier to act on." #bigdata #policy #geography #STS nyti.ms/2OrlLtV
