Hi Kate-- I'm really sorry to hear this. If NIH terminations are any guide, we expect NSF terminations to be chaotic, so we're trying to track them and organize the information. If don't mind, please have your team enter their grants here:

And please spread the word.

I feel terribly for people applying to PhD programs this year. I’m hearing from all sorts of places how the uncertainty about funding means external funding-dependent departments aren’t taking new students. :( I’m sure this will continue to ripple. ::gulp::

This thread is a whirlwind tour of all the right questions to ask about using public data for research (or commercial purposes) when the people who created would probably be surprised by the use case.
Empirical follow-ups that ask: What happens when Nissenbaum's "contextual integrity" is broken?

Hi, so I've spent the past almost-decade studying research uses of public social media data, like e.g. ML researchers using content from Twitter, Reddit, and Mastodon.
Anyway, buckle up this is about to be a VERY long thread with lots of thoughts and links to papers. 🧵

In the era of Instagrammable urbanism, sometimes the simple, low-cost and functional urban interventions don’t get enough attention. This very simple quick-install seating has been rolling out at #HamOnt’s space-constrained, lower-volume local bus stops.
