@TTChelps So why is the sign at the station so inaccurate ? Why even have them ?

@stuartbduncan Hi there, as per our GPS the 127 Davenport. is due at Spadina Station in 14 min. ^FM

Successfully defended my PhD on generative AI and small newsrooms. My research involved building a chatbot prototype and interviewing newsroom staff in the US/Canada. See the tool here: github.com/stuartduncan41… #phddone

Many thanks to my co-authors, @LaurenJDwyer1, Hanako Smith, Davis Vellesi, @fraukezeller and Charles Davis @C5Davis

The Python code behind this work is also available on GitHub: github.com/stuartduncan41…

Check out our research in Communication and the Public, where we introduce a method to measure the deliberative quality of social media discussions, using Twitter and Reddit conversations from the 2022 Canadian convoy protests as a case study. doi.org/10.1177/205704…

Do you work at a small Canadian newsroom and have thoughts on generative AI? Participate in my PhD research on the technology. More details here: stuartduncan.ca/researchstudy/

@UPexpress On weekdays, when does the first train leave Bloor station to Pearson? You have two different times listed on your website.

@AndieYEG @DiGiovanniAnd Last year it was the worst, when half the people got it, then the system broke, and the rest didn't until later.

@DiGiovanniAnd BUT SOMETIMES IT IS THE 25th, 26th OR EVEN THE 28th!!!!

Fingers crossed we hear about SSHRC tomorrow my fellow Canadian scholars. The funding news will be very influential in helping me decide which dorm room I, a 31 year old woman, will be living in come September.

@feedkoko @IC2S2 I did yes.

@stuartbduncan @IC2S2 did you get the email now?

Has anyone received their decision from @IC2S2? The decisions were supposed to come out yesterday, but if I log in into OpenReview my submission still has 0 reviews 😅😅

@feedkoko @IC2S2 Thanks for all your work on this. Do we at some point get a formal notice via email of acceptance? I see my results in OpenReview just didn't know if that was official.

@daria_kravets @IC2S2 Hi, really sorry about all this, we're going to try and have all the decisions in in 24 h. The reviews are not visible because of technical problems with OpenReview, and we're working on that too. Drop us an email if you need urgent help.

@daria_kravets @IC2S2 Did anyone happen to get their decision? I have seen some folk on Twitter have gotten theirs, but submission has not changed.

@SSHRC_CRSH The SSHRC doctoral fellowship internal deadline for many institutions is soon, including October 1st at @TorontoMet Will the system be back online by then?

We understand this situation may create concern and we apologize for any impact on applicants, institutions, and the research community. We are committed to providing you with updates as new information becomes available. Keep following us for more info. 3/3

The SSHRC application system is currently offline. We would like to confirm the following. Impact on: SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellowships competition: As the interruption is taking place after the application deadline, issues will be addressed on a case-by-case basis. 1/3

Excited to share the latest review of my book, News Nerds, out in EJOC and reviewed by @stuartbduncan: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/02…

"Right on red" is a dangerous maneuver that's only allowed thanks to a flawed idea about emissions from the 1970s. We don’t need it. motherjones.com/environment/20…

@g_meslin If they would finally complete the long proposed traffic calming on Geary, it would be far better. Because vehicles still use Geary and the surrounding side streets as shortcuts around the lights on Davenport and Dufferin, can be harrowing as pedestrian with kids.

So many lessons that could be learned from a scene like this.

People often think I’m anti-car. I’m not against the car. I literally own a car. One that I bought new just a few years ago that I really enjoy driving. What I’m against is the convenience of the car being at the centre of how we’ve designed our society.

Delighted to share that our paper "Towards Authenticity in Social Robotics" won the Yuhua (Jake) Liang Award for Top Paper at #ICA2023 HMC Pre-Conference! Thank you to the organizers, @FraukeZeller, and all the brilliant minds at the conference! @sait @SAIT_SADT @EdinburghNapier
