More great research from my research collective! New paper by @aaronshaw and @eszter evaluates the representativeness of @amazonmturk samples for survey research.

Fool's gold? The perils of using online survey samples to study online behavior. (Why survey samples from AMT might not be a representative of broader populations). https://blog.communitydata.science/perils-of-online-survey-samples-studying-online-behavior/

Nate TeBlunthuis (@groceryheist) from @UWComm @NU_SoC will also present a recent @ACM_CSCW work that examines the effects of algorithmic flagging on fairness based on quasi-experimental evidence from @Wikipedia.
See @groceryheist present work with myself and @halfak at the @WikiResearch showcase on Wednesday!

It was so great hearing about all the stuff that folks at @haystack_csail are up to! Thanks @ACM_CSCW for prompting us to try "lab speed dating" and @sohwng for making it happen. Any other research groups out there want to connect with @comdatasci folks?

Our research group has published this thread with links to a blog post, thanks, and lots more good stuff. https://social.coop/@communitydata/107220393921892827
Should online communities require accounts? My paper with @aaronshaw tries to answer this question. We started this project YEARS ago but its finally out in print in Communication Research! We've put together a very short video summarizing the work!

If you missed the Community Data Science prospective PhD student Q&A, we've put a video and blog post of the event online. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHOl44j51p0 https://blog.communitydata.science/catching-up-on-the-collectives-2021-phd-qa/
Registration is free and open to the public but it does involve creating an account on matrix. Follow the instructions here (and keep it mind it takes a few minutes to confirm emails and get setup): https://seagl.org
If you want to follow along from home, pick a drink or two you want to make and gather ingredients. You should be able to make most things with tequila, lime, and Cynar. You should able to make just about everything if also have grapefruit, sherry, and basics like sugar and salt.
It'll be a mix of chatting and learning about cocktails while I mix too many drinks and try to get my housemates and friends to help drink them. (Thanks team!)
By demand, I'm returning to the (virtual!) Seattle GNU/Linux conference (@SeaGL) to run a cocktail/mocktail hour to close out the first day. The session is tomorrow (Friday 11/5) and details are on this wiki page: https://wiki.mako.cc/SeagGL_Cocktail_Hour_2021

Should online communities require accounts? @makoshark & @aaronshaw provide an answer in a new paper that was recently published in the journal Communication Research.
We've put together a short video (below) and blog post (https://blog.communitydata.science/the-hidden-costs-of-requiring-accounts/) that summarize the work.

My year at @CASBSStanford was one of the most intellectually exhilarating years of my life. More communication, social computing, and computational social science folks should be applying.

Credit/blame to @amandalynneP, @lucyluwang and myself. But mostly to @epimika.
The only instance of the term I can find online is an Instagram post doing something similar that seems to have edited out the term! Did we really make this up?! It seems impossible that you would create this dish and /not/ call it locomokonomiyaki.
Strongly recommended.
The addition of cabbage solves the fundamental problem with loco moco (no fiber). The addition of okonomiyaki toppings can solve any problem.
