Interested in how NLP and geolocated social media can be used to explore fear in cities? Check out my new paper with Ying Zhou (@chou_zing) entitled: Exploring Fear in Urban Environments: Place and Space Analysis of Social Media Data" Available at https://t.co/UGMAIr0UYh

[Qingqing Chen @qingqingchen77]

Compared to vision and sound, smell remains understudied in cities. Building on our previous work on making invisible urban smells visible, @AndyCrooks, @atepoorthuis and I explore the connection between vision and smell, and how visual cues shape the way we perceive smells.

Officially Dr. Chen! 🥳🥳
Huge thanks to my amazing committee: @AndyCrooks @JaredAldstadt @Yingjie_Hu @atepoorthuis and to everyone who’s been part of this journey. Can’t believe this chapter is really over but the story is still going! 🌈

[Andrew Crooks @AndyCrooks]

@qingqingchen77 @JaredAldstadt @Yingjie_Hu @atepoorthuis Congratulations @qingqingchen77. Really great work and well deserved

[Andrew Crooks @AndyCrooks]

Are you interested in how you can perceive smells in cities? If so check out our new paper led by the amazing @qingqingchen77 & @atepoorthuis entitled "Mapping the Invisible: Decoding Perceived Urban Smells Through Geosocial Media in New York City" : https://t.co/qsauTGbJux

[Qingqing Chen @qingqingchen77]

🎉Excited to share our latest research in @PLOSDigiHealth. We introduced a ‘big-thick’ data approach to compare the convergences and divergences between newspapers and interviews regarding the COVID pandemic and vaccination discussion. @AndyCrooks @SurteesJennifer

[Richard_NaJiang @JJiangna]

We (@AndyCrooks) just completed three stages of agent-based modeling—Designing, Building, and Running—to replicate Sakoda's Checkerboard Model of Social Interaction, ONLY🧩by chatting with ChatGPT! 🚀A great way for ABM beginners to dive in!#AgentBasedModeling #AI #SakodaModel
