I am so excited to work with @sfiscience on this online program focusing on how to model human behavior from a complexity science perspective.
I was inspired by the work of @psmaldino, @Scott_E_Page, and @MelMitchell1 who will all be speakers during the program!
Another year another paper out of my @sfiscience time! A great outcome from my collaboration with Jonas Dalege. network of beliefs... in action!

How do you measure a covert identity signal, given itโs covert? New work led by SFI's @tam_does analyzed @Twitter follower networks, found a clever approach to inferring covert signaling โ and confirmed minority groups really do have to deploy more of it:

Paper out today (OA) with @tam_does, Mirta Galesic, and Zack Dunivin. This paper empirically tests formal models of covert identity signaling in the context of US political identity. 1/

Are you liberal/progressive but concerned about the excesses of identity-driven progressivism today? Like on Twitter? Well everything's actually fine.
New preprint: "Strategic Identity Signaling in Heterogeneous Networks." . w/ @tam_does, Mirta Galesic, and Zack Dunivin. We empirically test models of covert signaling using tweets about US political identity just before the 2020 election. https://t.co/Uc3RFWutdU
We're hiring a part-time research assistant to work with an amazing team of social scientists. Perfect for an advanced undergrad, post-BA, or grad student with some coding experience:

It is out! A perspective piece in @Nature on how we can use social network data for better predictions and modeling! Mirta did an amazing job in leading this group of people. Most of my work was with the figures obviously ;) https://t.co/Zzs21RmWEl
This Friday the one and only Mirta Galesic will be part of a panel at the #Networks2021 conference presenting the upcoming special issue on Computational Social Science in @Nature. What is #CSS, what should it be, & where should it go? https://t.co/3PnKYG3wDH
@NicholsonSoc It will go great! Just see it as opportunity to have a group of super smart people actually take the time to listen (read?) to your stuff!
New paper live! We (w/@tam_does) predict boundaries between us and them on a continuum attribute using a dynamical system model. We find middle of the spectrum fall through the cracks of categorization, and validate with data on political independents. https://t.co/tSgXWSdWrg
