A great article and video on the NSF RAPID research I've been doing on social media and COVID-19 w/ @keristephens @hemant_pt @EmergencyComms #NSFStories engineering.byu.edu/news/byu-infor…

#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/crisisinformat…

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)

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/sh…

Excited about my newest article with some fantastic co-authors!

@cfiesler Yes! I struggle with this all the time. I think you are amazing, both academically and as an awesome person to be around! I wish we could better see and appreciate ourselves the way others do.

I recently saw a lot of colleagues I don't see often & a number of them said things like "you're doing so well!" or "how are you so productive!" And my immediate reaction is, "... me?" Now: real talk about imposter syndrome and how no one thinks they're doing enough. [Thread]

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

My PhD student Apoorva Chauhan (@HCI_researcher) did a fantastic job presenting our paper today at ISCRAM 2018. It sparked some great conversation! #iscram2018

"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.

Great session! twitter.com/jeroenwolbers/…
