I'm looking forward to presenting my research on platform migration later today at #AoIR2025. I'm also thankful for their remote option, because as much as I'd like to be in Brazil right now, I have zero travel funds left 😅

Excited and a bit nervous to bring our ideas about social media eras to #MediaPsych2025 next week!

Is there anything as satisfying as a fresh dataset to play with?

If you want to get away from the #ica25 hotels for a coffee meeting or a spacious but peaceful place to do a little work, I recommend Queen City Collective on Larimer & 17th!

And our president’s actions continue to destroy us. AoIR is rethinking even holding their conference here next year. (Rightfully so, but how embarrassing.)
Announcement from AoIR: “We know that ideally we would by now have announced the venue for next year's conference, which is meant to be in North America. However, recent events have complicated things. Our reading of the room is that there is not an appetite for a conference in the US. We are working hard on working this out, and will hopefully have a real update soon.”

I was honored to serve as a faculty expert last week for a @uconn.bsky.social Dodd Human Rights dialogue event: “Freedom, Facts, and Filters: The Relationship Between Misinformation and Social Media.” I was very impressed with a wonderfully engaged group of students, who had great questions!

Today was a lot of doom, but I’m also trying to find a glimmer of joy in each day. Today that joy was sharing Pączki with grad students. If you know about these seasonal Polish delicacies, you know.

I know not everyone is a fan, but I find winter beautiful. From my afternoon walk on campus @uconn.bsky.social:
Walking path lined with snow, around a frozen lake with an island of trees, with setting sunlight and clouds.

My work breakdown for Fall 2023, as a tenured (2020) R1 associate professor in a communication department (for context). Not ideal by any means in terms of time spent on research, but the reality. I track it semester over semester for my knowledge, and share it for transparency.
Pie chart showing: 38% teaching, 15% email, 13% research, 13% service, 9% advising, 7% advancement, 4% outreac, 2% administrative
