The world’s first Macroscope is coming to the Netherlands 🇳🇱 NWO just awarded €16.8M to build this groundbreaking research infrastructure—co-led by @odissei-soda.bsky.social and CLARIAH, coordinated by @erasmusuniversity.bsky.social #Research #Innovation odissei-data.nl/2025/11/03/t...

3) For some reason (likely related to ridiculous under-staffing and underpayment of library workers) it seems next to impossible to get specific editions or translations put on reserve, rather than any old copy that is available

Academia rewards resilience, by which I mean the ability to rewrite the same sentence forever

Thank you for participating in the Measuring Culture workshop funded by the Academy of Sciences in Heidelberg @hadw-bw.bsky.social. It was an incredible experience for me due to all the brilliant people attending. Special thanks to keynote speakers @nehagondal.bsky.social and @olizardo.bsky.social

I am very grateful for two days of stimulating intellectual exchange at our workshop funded by the Cologne International Forum. Special thanks to our keynotes @isabellevdv.bsky.social, @christian.czymara.com, and the organisation by @anamacanovic.bsky.social, @maxpi.bsky.social, and Christof Nägel.

I have two postdoc positions for a computer scientist and a social scientist to work on my ERC-funded project HUMANET Human-Machine Social Systems at LSE. Please read more and apply at jobs.lse.ac.uk/Vacancies/W/.... More information about the project is available at humanet.science.

Only two more weeks left to submit an abstract for our IPODA workshop on combining insights from survey methods and online data sources for research on immigration, public opinion, and crime. 📚 Make sure to check out the call below if you work in these domains!

If you use online or survey data to study immigration, public opinion, or crime, consider sending an abstract for our workshop on April 28/29 2025 at the University of Cologne. We will have great keynotes by @christian.czymara.com and @isabellevdv.bsky.social! See the call below:

🚨 Exciting news! The call for papers is now OPEN for the 9th Workshop on Online Abuse and Harms (#WOAH2025) at #ACL2025 @aclmeeting.bsky.social in Vienna. 📆 Submission deadline: March 7, 2025 📄 Check out the CfP: www.workshopononlineabuse.com/cfp.html Looking forward to your submissions! 🤩 #NLProc

Now let’s peek into the session Science of Science👀 @anamacanovic.bsky.social discovered gender differences in media representation of scientific work of Dutch professors. She shows that women professors are underrepresented in printed media, but not in online media outlets. #ODISSEI2024

We are hosting the 11th International Conference on Computational Social Science in Sweden 🚀The IC2S2'25 website is LIVE, and submissions are OPEN! 📍Norrköping | July 21-24, 2025 Call for Abstracts (until Feb 24) Call for Tutorials (until Jan 17) 🔗Explore details & submit: ic2s2-2025.org

A first starter pack on computational social science, that is, researchers who use computational methods (broadly defined) to answer social science questions. It's a vaguely defined field with blurry borders, so it's certainly incomplete; if you want to be on it, let me know! go.bsky.app/PCckf3C

As part of NCRM, I am running a 3-day intensive course on Structural Equation Modelling and Causal Inference which takes place online on 8-10 Nov 2023. Bursaries are available for fees. Details: www.ncrm.ac.uk/training/sho... May be relevant for those in sociology, psychology, social sciences

New #rstats package incoming! 🚀 With the fantastic @benguinaudeau.bsky.social and @favstats.bsky.social, I introduce: {atr} A package to get and post things here on BlueSky! jbgruber.github.io/atr/index.html

Repost if you’ve participated in a Summer Institute in Computational Social Science. Let’s get #SICSS Bluesky going!

The most frustrating thing about working for the oldest social science data archive in the world is knowing how much cool stuff we have that goes unused because people don't know about it. In some cases, making data usable requires more resources than we have (THREAD).

Would you like to use GPT-4 and other few-shot learning algorithms to annotate massive corpora? So do we! But before we did so, we reviewed the evidence. Here are the main takeaways from our systematic review:
