If you ran into me, @cfiesler.bsky.social or @vitak.bsky.social at #ICA25 you likely heard about the PERVADE Project and our current work assessing researcher preparedness to address data ethics issues in their work.

ICA members can take the survey here: marquette.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...
Qualtrics Survey | Research Ethics Attitudes & Preparedness Across Research Communities

Grateful and happy my Master‘s thesis work – with fantastic supervision from @fhopp.bsky.social – received a Top Student Paper award from @icacm.bsky.social at ICA! :))

@cfiesler.bsky.social is giving us such a wonderful tour of the duality of the Internet. Some great lessons for how we as a research community need to deeply consider the ethics and relationality in our work. For whom are we doing this, and how does this make things better? #ica25
#ICA25 I'm really looking forward to (and a little bit nervous for!) giving this year's Steve Jones Internet Research Lecture at 3pm. I hope you'll come hear about ways that the internet is good for us and bad for us at the same time, and what we can do as researchers to push towards the good. <3

🚀 Very happy (and proud!) that rockstar @michelleschimmel.bsky.social received a top student paper for her MSc thesis, which I had the pleasure to supervise. Excited to see this work out soon!
Congratulations to @michelleschimmel.bsky.social and @fhopp.bsky.social on receiving a Top Student Paper Award for their work “Engage and divide: The role of moral language for cross-ideological interactions on social media” #ICA25

Brilliant scholar @shugars.bsky.social is our discussant. They highlighted some key trends, noting that many panelists raised similar question, including "when and how is it appropriate to use LLMs?" They also mention inequality challenges with using closed-source and expensive models.

We round the panel out with work by @damiantrilling.net on LLM agents. He and his team conduct 3 studies, some of which are fully simulated and some that are more hybrid. #ica25 @icacm.bsky.social

@zeningduan.bsky.social presenting his work with the Social Media & Democracy research group at @uwsjmc.bsky.social. In the study, they use an LLM to annotate accounts for different roles, which they validate with manual coding. Zero shot was good, few shot was better.
