Our team just launched this blog to review the influence of the 45th President's twitter account as a data analytic post mortem.

[PostMortem @realDonaldTrump @PostMortemRDT]

This overview of the now defunct @realDonaldTrump account describes its high-level features, the first in a series of posts offering post mortem insight into its influence. https://t.co/LnFVrT3X9L

@morganklauss So wonderful, Morgan!!

[leysia palen @palen]

@yu_junnan is among the best!

Oh my dear @katestarbird. You so don't deserve this. And this ironically makes the point of how much we need your research so very desperately.

[leysia palen @palen]

What a brilliant future we have in computing research: we are in good hands! Recording to come.

@emdashklatt I didn't read this in high school, but if I were teaching, this is the upsetting short story I'd assign: https://t.co/8OnMPF9SO7

@rsoden_ Looks great!

Thanks to @ByBrianBennett for this piece. And, yes, I am back to being up nights.

When Trump tweets, “it makes the information world we are leaning on even more unreliable, even more erratic,” says @CUBoulder information science Prof. Leysia Palen. @palen's research shows Trump's Twitter account "thrashes" the Internet unlike any other https://t.co/oTRV4MmlLO

@leanne_tru Oh wow! I wish you the best on your next steps.

We have a new paper about #covid19 vaccine #disinfo and its surprising links to the horrific #Tuskegee Syphilis Study. A video summarizes main points: https://t.co/7fTbcHaKwo. Full paper: https://t.co/PmnR3A3xKw. And it won a #CHI2022 Honorable Mention!! @neurdy @JenningsatCU

@amyjko I think it is important to keep up letter writing as much as one can. It never feels like there are enough to keep up with demand.

@marinakoganCS @katestarbird @Dragnet_News @PIOResearcher @bkeegan @alexleavitt Let's chat about this--and maybe it is more "curated-crowdsourced," echoing @katestarbird's comment.

Things have been unspeakably difficult here.

[CU Boulder 🦬 @CUBoulder]

700+ employees & 600+ students live in areas that were evacuated due to the recent fires. In all, nearly 1,000 structures were lost, including the homes of dozens of CU Boulder students, faculty and staff, and reports of other damages are expected to rise. https://t.co/KLRBPgFtcM

[CU Boulder CMCI Information Science @cuinfoscience]

Last night our department chair Robin Burke, who directs @that_recsys_lab, spoke to @9NEWS about how content gets recommended to us on social media, how those recommendations might be biased, and how his research is tackling what we might do about it. https://t.co/L3HImsLr55

It was so fun to be with folks today and to do crafts to celebrate the end of the year.

[CU Boulder CMCI Information Science @cuinfoscience]

It’s almost the end of the semester and today we had some social, wind-down time with arts and crafts! All the best to everyone finishing up coursework and preparing for winter break! 🥰
