Do you teach #rstats? Do your students complain about how lame and old-fashioned dplyr is? Don't worry: I have the solution for you: github.com/hadley/genzp.... genzplyr is dplyr, but bussin fr fr no cap.

Thank you @overbye.bsky.social — going to Greece to present the paper wasn’t so bad either 👀 Also thanks to my wonderful co-authors @aliciaernst.bsky.social, @rkreling.bsky.social, @aliciagilbert.bsky.social, @mscharkow.bsky.social, @leonardreinecke.bsky.social and Benedikt! More to come soon!

Interested in… a) taking theories out of the lab (and try to specify them to work irl) b) computational methods (data donations, LLM content analysis) c) media coping d) all of the above? Then our new HCR-paper is *just* for you! doi.org/10.1093/hcr/...

💡Pub alert 💡 Why do users stop a media activity? Today I presented "101 reasons to stop: A systematic review of media cues for disengagement" at #CHIGreece2025 🏖️ The full paper - the 3rd of my PhD thesis - is now available #openaccess at dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/... Summary below ⬇️

Longitudinal evidence on media entertainment effects, anyone? New paper out w/ @leonardreinecke.bsky.social looking at links between entertainment use and meaning making daily, weekly, & over 6 months. Two studies, 1,872 participants, 15,290 observations. Summary 👇 doi.org/10.1177/0093...

From text-as-data to sleep data collection, this year‘s #hackica25 in Boulder, CO, was a blast and we‘re proud to say that we‘ve (again) successfully hacked communication science. Thanks to all participants and see y‘all at #ica25 ✨

#RezFo25 AWARDS 📢🏆 Auf der diesjährigen Tagung der Fachgruppe Rezeptions- und Wirkungsforschung (@rezfo.bsky.social ) der DGPuK wurden alle drei Best Paper Awards von Wissenschaftler:innen des IfP (mit)verfasst. Details 👇

Ever wondered what researchers beyond #commsky have to say about autonomy in digital technology use (e.g., affordances, situations, context)? Check out our interdisciplinary, large scale (computational) scoping review w/ @anishaarenz.bsky.social @leonardreinecke.bsky.social doi.org/10.1093/iwc/...

Very fun project with @rkreling.bsky.social, @aliciagilbert.bsky.social, @leonardreinecke.bsky.social. Most interesting challenge for me: How can we utilize the scarce information in Netflix DDPs to study entertainment phenomena in the wild using data donations.

📢1st dissertation paper alert📢 Out now in JoC: Why do people #disengage from media use? Very excited to see this one published🌟 Kudos to my wonderful co-authors @leonardreinecke.bsky.social @adrianmeier.bsky.social Susanne Baumgartner & @felixdidi.bsky.social academic.oup.com/joc/advance-...

It was fun to talk about our experiences with using Transformers in #MediaPsych and #Communication research at #dgpuk2024. Great projects with @dpossler.bsky.social, Jule Scheper, Anica Lammers, Rebekka Kreling, @aliciagilbert.bsky.social, @leonardreinecke.bsky.social.
