Earlier this year we announced a collaboration with the @OSFramework designed to share privacy-protected data with researchers studying topics related to young people and well-being. Today marks an important milestone - as researchers can now apply and submit proposals for consideration by COS. We hope this is the first step in supporting society’s broader understanding of any potential associations between social media and well-being. https://t.co/JDvJzTRkMf

📢 New opportunity! Meta and COS have opened an RFP for a pilot program using Instagram data to study social media’s impact on youth well-being. Check out the details and see if it fits your research: https://t.co/jCheql0toa.

[The Atlantic @TheAtlantic]

Meta is granting access to data on Instagram to a small number of researchers investigating the effect of the app on teens and young adults—“a baby step forward in the direction of data transparency,” @mimbsy writes. https://t.co/gtdoB4O6RZ

#ICWSM2022 Panel on the Pandemic & Social Media starting now with @munmun10 moderating:
Emilio Ferrara (University of Southern California)

[CMU Delphi @CMUDelphi]

CTIS is a team effort: faculty, research staff, software engineers, graduate students and postdocs, legal teams, designers, testers, and more. So many that we can’t fit them in one picture, or get them to all wear their T-shirts 9/10

NEW: Syndromic surveillance-based estimates of vaccine efficacy against COVID-like illness

Estimates from South Africa consistently lower for omicron compared to delta across case definitions. Corroborates previous findings of increased breakthrough risk

Our book is out! *Personal Networks: Classic Readings and New Directions in Egocentric Analysis* hopes to be the definitive text on how to study networks by putting the individual front and center. More than 700 pages with both classic texts and original pieces by 50 authors 1/

I often feel this as well, but what’s especially helpful in this thread from the OP is tips on how to learn to accept those privileges as someone coming to industry from academia.

Finally catching up with the last few issues of the New Yorker. Would be a great article for an Intro to Soc class on gender inequality. #sociology https://t.co/me3Gqdodap

My department is now recruiting a tenure-track faculty -

Please apply by 09/15.
Position open, but ethnography/qualitative/big data experts particularly needed

[Social Data Science Center @SoDaUMD]

We’re excited to share that the 'COVID-19 Symptom Survey' is now the 'COVID-19 Trends and Impact Survey' or CTIS. This change reflects the evolution of the survey to provide insights on much more than #COVID19 symptoms. Learn how to reference CTIS here⬇https://t.co/vGMlw3Jxg1

[CMU Delphi @CMUDelphi]

Our daily surveys have collected over 21.5 million responses to track and understand #COVID19 in the United States, including recent upticks from new variants. Now the survey has a new name: the COVID-19 Trends and Impact Survey (CTIS). 1/3

STILL miss that apartment (and your hammock chairs, @onceuponA — and you, obvi)

[Jay Livingston @JayLivingston]

The places we rent in summer always have a gas grill, and it's always a Weber, and I always think it should be Durkheim. You know, the sacred and the propane.

[CMU Delphi @CMUDelphi]

We're proud that our survey efforts can inform efforts to improve COVID vaccine access and uptake for everyone -- check out the report for great work from @SurgoVentures and @ResolveTSL using our data and numerous other sources to provide practical steps

[Resolve to Save Lives @ResolveTSL]

NEW: Our new COVID-19 vaccine framework—created in collaboration with @SurgoVentures and endorsed by @PublicHealth and @DukeMargolis—is a blueprint for local government and public health officials to increase vaccine coverage equitably. https://t.co/7FW4LkWafs

[Surgo Ventures @SurgoVentures]

#COVID19 remains a threat & not everyone is protected.
We partnered w/ @ResolveTSL on a 4-step, data-driven framework that helps state & local #publichealth officials work with communities to provide solutions that address specific barriers. https://t.co/ZGDkrYURvF

[Katherine Morris @KateAnnMorris]

Great to see the newest version of the COVID-19 Symptom Surveys being used to power this important work! @Facebook @UofMaryland @CmuDelphi #epitwitter

[Dr. Tom Frieden @DrTomFrieden]

Our new report with @SurgoVentures underscores the importance of listening to and learning from communities so we can make vaccination accessible to everyone—no matter who they are or where they live. https://t.co/4ZXzcs9WhT

@JaclynSWong Looks like it from your video! Hope you had a great trip!
