@carlescamara 's academic account: Cities, technology & #maps with a social perspective. #rstats #gis , Senior Research Software Engineer @CIMethods

[Carlos Cámara-Menoyo (@[email protected]) @drccamara]

My last article, written with my colleague and friend Jorge León, for @ACMEJournal.
In it, we analyse how #urban #commons fit into European public law, questioning the viability of the 3rd way (neither public nor private).

#urbancommons

[Carlos Cámara-Menoyo (@[email protected]) @drccamara]

Today, Ostrom's work on the #commons has been adapted to many other contexts, such as #software #culture #health outer space or, #cities, which is my preferred domain and what I usually write about (#UrbanCommons).

Elionor Ostrom is probably the #scholar who has influenced my work the most.

Ostrom studied how common pool resources such as fisheries, forests, grazing fields, water... thrived and were governed.

#8M #WomensDay #WomenInScience

[Carlos Cámara-Menoyo (@[email protected]) @drccamara]

With her work, Ostrom proved that other forms of governance beyond the private and the public spheres were not only possible but we're also more efficient and even desirable. #commons

See @ZBednarowska recent paper on #regionalinequalities of #cycling. Zofia’s research reveals ethnic inequity in cycling to work in London regions: ethnic minorities are less likely to cycle due to spatially dependent inequalities. @RSRS_OA paper & OA data https://t.co/J6ZuFmbCeE

How do we get from the AI controversies that we currently have to the AI controversies that we need? Today we published our workshop report "Shifting AI controversies” evaluating ESRC-funded #ShapingAI project findings @uniofwarwick https://t.co/CUJ6nyGQ3c

[Carlos Cámara-Menoyo (@[email protected]) @drccamara]

Also, as a reminder: we are still accepting responses to our survey about motivations and experiences of #mastodon users (even -especially- if you created an account there and never used it).

#Help us by filling the survey and retweeting/sharing it

[Carlos Cámara-Menoyo (@[email protected]) @drccamara]

@cagatay_turkay @GregMcI @gobbo_beatrice Indeed! Very motivational video that has the virtue of condensing well-known #datavis in 5' in a very pedagogical and attractive way. Worth using it in our MAsc #DataVisualization @CIMethods

[Cagatay Turkay @cagatay_turkay]

Lovely video on some historic moments for #DataVisualization . Will be a nice material for the motivational sessions on teaching dataviz with @GregMcI , @gobbo_beatrice and @drccamara

[Carlos Cámara-Menoyo (@[email protected]) @drccamara]

@pbro48 @__nate__ Thanks for reporting that. It has been fixed now!

[CIM Warwick @CIMethods]

Our @drccamara and @__nate__ want to understand platform decline.

Can you help them filling this survey on expectations and experiences in social media platforms like #Twitter and #Mastodon:
https://t.co/IopM9g9BTd

RT are also welcome!

[Carlos Cámara-Menoyo (@[email protected]) @drccamara]

Is #Twitter on decline?

@__nate__ and me are researching platform decline and have released this survey on expectations and experiences in social media platforms like #Twitter and #Mastodon:

https://t.co/eUeaB6Yr1S

Please #Help by filling the survey (less than 10') and RT!

[Carlos Cámara-Menoyo (@[email protected]) @drccamara]

#Help wanted: Could you please fill in and RT the following survey on social platforms?

https://t.co/eUeaB6YYRq

This is part of a #research led by @__nate__ and me, aimed at understanding what motivated people to use #Mastodon, their expectations and their current experience

[Carlos Cámara-Menoyo (@[email protected]) @drccamara]

Researchers' relying on #Twitter data

[Developers @XDevelopers]

Starting February 9, we will no longer support free access to the Twitter API, both v2 and v1.1. A paid basic tier will be available instead 🧵

[Carlos Cámara-Menoyo (@[email protected]) @drccamara]

... to do something that could be better done elsewhere or differently. Here I’m totally opposing the @transparenttech and I'd advocate for not trying to perpetuate a system that is already broken and try to build a more equitable, commons-based one, which is already here!

[Carlos Cámara-Menoyo (@[email protected]) @drccamara]

I'm divided with this: whereas I share the diagnose, I believe this could even be counterproductive (despite good intentions).

Let me explain why :👇🧵

[Kevin Yang @yang3kc]

We at @transparenttech wrote an open letter to call on Twitter to keep their API free to access.

Read the letter at https://t.co/41nUCMuyLY

[Carlos Cámara-Menoyo (@[email protected]) @drccamara]

And it is also because of that that I believe that signing this can be counterproductive. Last thing I’d like to happen is to perpetuate the status quo by making universities or governments to pay a private company in hands of a despotic CEO ...
