I’m very excited and proud to share the publication of the first four studies in the US 2020 Facebook and Instagram Election Study, being published today in Science and Nature.

in potential and actual exposure to and engagement with civic news links. I encourage everyone to read these papers and hear directly from the lead authors on the findings.
This new study from @Gallup helps us understand the nature and value of people’s connections around the world. It’s good to see that social media has played a role in helping people stay connected, not least during a global pandemic.
