Found a snake in my study at @CASBSStanford!🐍 I opened a sliding door nearby and it wandered outside onto a deck. The head of facilities then flung it off with a tool. I believe this constitutes "defeat" of the snake under the standard academic rules. https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/faq-the-snake-fight-portion-of-your-thesis-defense

Nora will present the paper ("Privacy, Anonymity, and Perceived Risk in Open Collaboration: A Study of Service Providers") at #CHI2019 in Glasgow on May 8th! Come see her talk!

One potential source of this difference is that while many online communities set norms about anonymous participation openly, the people who are blocked/deterred by privacy concerns that are incompatible w/ the status quo are simply never heard.

Check out my new paper documents how online collaboration platforms imagine anonymous users in ways that are strikingly differently than anonymous users see themselves. Paper was led by Nora McDonald w/ Rachel Greenstadt and Andrea Forte. #CHI2019 https://blog.communitydata.science/new-research-on-how-anonymity-is-perceived-in-open-collaboration/

To help you make your scientific study #exceedinglyreproducible, my student Jeremy Foote has published software to make PDF flipbooks of your lab meetings for deposition into your university's institutional archives. https://blog.communitydata.cc/exceedingly-reproducible-research/

@ntnsndr A reward for the committed reader. 😉

Current approaches to #reproducibility in science is unambitious and fundamentally flawed. My research collective's new proposal for Exceedingly Reproducible Research outlines the error of your ways, and the ERR of ours. https://blog.communitydata.cc/exceedingly-reproducible-research/

My surgeon insistently and repeatedly tells me that under absolutely no circumstances should I "eat anything at all after midnight" and "none of us want to deal with the consequences of you not doing so."

All I can think: I'm a mogwai.

Broke my wrist snowboarding. 🏂☹️

My physical Research Symbiont award arrived! 🏆🐟https://mako.cc/copyrighteous/a-research-symbiont I knew it was a plush fish w/ an attached parasitic lamprey but didn't appreciate the detail that went into the magnetic "interface." [Current Mood: Weird mix of deeply honored and grossed out. 😊🤢]

This question from the @OED FAQ—"How do you know what the definition of a word is?"—strikes me as profound in terms of both lexicography and epistemology. How DOES one know? https://www.oxforddictionaries.com/news-and-press/oxford-dictionaries-faq

The award was primarily in recognition of the work I did with Andrés Monroy-Hernández on the Scratch Research dataset: https://www.nature.com/articles/sdata20172

If you want more context, I recorded a short speech that they showed at the ceremony that you can watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Npj-5uYde4U

Folks at #PSB19 just announced that they're giving me a Research Symbiont Award for "sharing data beyond the expectations of their field"! Such an awesome thing! https://mako.cc/copyrighteous/a-research-symbiont
