The collective dynamics of online harassment
Fringe online message boards are often studied in the context of the extreme ideology that they produce. So far, however, not much of this research has focused on direct real-world harm in the all-too...

I tried something in my class today that I was really excited about and I think went well! Basically a set of activities (with a bunch of polling) that turned students into an LLM in order to explain how they work. For example:

When faculty are awarded tenure at @colorado.edu they get a bronze medal to wear with their academic regalia. I was away for the ceremony but delightful to find this waiting in my campus mailbox!

Excellent piece highlighting student voices on gen AI in higher education, including MS student Mirakle (pictured!) in my lab who is leading research on college student AI resisters. I can only assume that leadership at many universities are making incorrect assumptions about student attitudes.

How have #ICEenforcement practices changed? New @pnas.org research from Chloe East analyzed 1.6 million arrests. The findings provide new evidence to inform discussions about #immigrationpolicy, #publicsafety, and the broader impacts of #immigrationenforcement. www.colorado.edu/today/2026/0...

Only 1 in 3 people arrested by ICE have a criminal conviction
An analysis of 1.6 million ICE arrests shows that while arrests are at a historic high, most of those detained have no criminal conviction.

This is a good example where the "feel" of data can really vary by a simple chart change - from pie chart to bar graph. While the 🥧 pie chart looks like 3 roughly-equal groups of people, the "didn't vote" group jumps out in a 📊 bar graph Same data plotted below: barvpie.netlify.app?numbers=31.5...
A screenshot with two graphs side-by-side. Left: a bar graph with the values 31.5, 30.6, and 37.7. Right: a pie chart with the same values.

I wrote for @us.theconversation.com about how I see Bluesky's recent growth in the context of research on social media migration! I don't think folks here necessarily WANT a "new Twitter," but that Bluesky has the potential to recapture some of what people liked. theconversation.com/bluesky-isnt...
theconversation.com
Bluesky isn’t the ‘new Twitter,’ but its resemblance to the old one is drawing millions of new users
Bluesky, the microblogging alternative to X, is having a moment. A social media researcher explains why people are flocking to it – and why it isn’t likely to recapture the early days of Twitter.

Information science is the study of the relationships between people, places and technology. Our interdisciplinary approach—drawing on social science, computer science and the humanities—prepares students for a future characterized by new ways of working, communicating and creating.
