As part of @withBackdrop’s launch day, I’m really excited to launch #onchainR: an open-source software package built in R. onchainR helps R users access blockchain data using APIs like JSON-RPC, blockchain explorer, and subgraphs through various data providers quickly and easily!

@GoodlyLabs @Rev_Douglass But yes! I couldn't agree more.

[Brandon Kramer, PhD @drbrandonkramer]

are any sociologists studying crypto/web3 yet? i can't emphasize enough how much social scientists need to start studying the impact of decentralized autonomous organizations (or DAOs).

[Brandon Kramer, PhD @drbrandonkramer]

@GoodlyLabs @Rev_Douglass buidl* :)

[Brandon Kramer, PhD @drbrandonkramer]

@leahoverthinks I totally agree. I've really only seen computer scientists write on web3 up to this point. Very, very few social scientists or cultural studies scholars studying this space, but I agree that this should have a huge impact on theories (and methods!).

Building on Willis, what do people think about oppositional culture arguments that don't center race (e.g. *not* arguments about "acting white")? I was talking to a colleague who's trying to find some and engage the argument as it developed after Learning to Labor.

The secret to innovation: bars! (and other places where people hang out)

Areas that banned 🍺 during Prohibition had a big drop in patenting because the informal social networks in bars were disrupted. As networks were rebuilt elsewhere, patenting resumed, but in new categories!
