"We have every piece of human knowledge at our fingertips!"

Except we don't and a bunch of it is hidden behind paywalls.

Hello! I'm an undergraduate in computer science and media studies at #NCState University ('19). My goal is to help make meaningful information useful and accessible through new media studies, social computing, and computational social science.

Long-term I am working toward pursuing a PhD related to Information Science and/or Computer-Human Interaction. Still figuring out how to navigate this whole process, but I'm learning a lot along the way! #introduction

Now a good time to re-read La Peste?

Two of my PhD admissions visits have been cancelled due to COVID-19. Making what was already a tough decisions even harder!

Does anyone have experience with doing this kind of thing remotely? I don't want to disadvantage programs who made the sensible call to move everything virtual just on the basis of missing that physical connection.

After graduating in December, I'm currently waiting to hear back from PhD programs. Here's what I've been reading in the meantime: https://carlcolglazier.com/notes/reading-undergrad/

Scientists and creatives on Linux: what kind of setup are you using and what do you like about it?

Thinking about switching WM/DEs.

Do any of my mutuals use #Zotero? I have it downloaded for a class and would love to hear examples of putting it to good use!

Pretty amazing to look over the last few years and see how much I've learned and grown. Gives me hope for the next few years also.

People who do a lot of reading for a living (grad students, authors, professors, etc.): how do you keep up with all of it?

Wrapped up a busy semester by posting a video about an independent #rstats project. Feedback appreciated!

eccentric rich billionaires: always have a butler on hand for butler stuff or whatever.

me if i had money: always have a spare therapist nearby in case of crippling anxiety.

We stan a well-calibrated model.

What are some best practices when it comes to publicizing works-in-progress? I have a couple of early drafts I'd like to make public, but I'm not sure what the norms are here.

Hire me! I'm seeking an internship in the Greater Seattle Area for summer 2019. 😌
