As we mourn Michael Burawoy, a brilliant scholar who envisioned and fought for a better world, let us remember his words and act on them.

Looks so cool that they show that social contagion and biological contagion can occur together

[Nicholas A. Christakis @NAChristakis]

The bacteria in your gut depend on where you are in the social network.

And the microbes within us treat our social networks as the extended environment in which they thrive. They can spread from person to person.

Do podcasts play a decisive role in politics? This fascinating new paper maps the ecosystem using a large database of podcast transcripts from 2020. My first take away: politics is dwarfed by entertainment (not unlike social media): https://t.co/QVyxWUN551

Great summary resources for people who are interested in computational social science!

[Hongbo Fang @fang_hongbo]

Computational social science is an emerging field. Given its interdisciplinary nature, CSS researchers are distributed across varied departments, and it is hard to search for faculty/program in graduate application. Therefore, we create this open doc:

With @mnlnchn and @WayneLe69270395, we focus on the health professionals’ tweets regarding COVID-19. We raise the concern about the politicization of tweets—political agendas and opinions may influence the public through health communication. https://t.co/xW8OD0xwY7

Besides sharing my work at #ASA2023, I also got the chance to listen to my idols presenting, reach out to the prof from my dream phd program that I want to apply to this year, and connect with other Taiwanese sociologists at this reception. So incredible for these five days☺️🤩

Homophily is the principle that we like people who are like ourselves, and it is a powerful force in explaining how society is structured. This paper shows it goes deeper than skin: You are more likely to be friends with people who literally think like you https://t.co/qbB3PXmbcO
