Absolutely! Just boosted again. Thanks for the important work you do

Please consider taking the survey below about researcher preparedness to address data ethics issues

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_...

It’s a wrap! On this final day of #ica25, we have both @jbgruber.bsky.social and @vanatteveldt.com presenting in the open science and data access session of @icacm.bsky.social. If you have not left Denver yet, be sure to check them out 🚀

It's the last day of #ICA25! We hope you'll join us at today's Computational Methods panels.

We're looking forward to sessions on polarization, data access, and sentiment

@vanatteveldt.com presents a new Dutch stance detection datasets and makes important points that are often neglected in sentiment analyses in communication research #ica25

One person, R Studio, live coding. This is such a beautiful way to do tool demo by @jbgruber.bsky.social #ica25

@jbgruber.bsky.social kicking off @icacm.bsky.social 's tool demo session, and the best thing is: everything is on github! github.com/JBGruber/ica... - check it out if you need to scrape news or retrieve tiktok data and want sth that just works! #ica25

Good morning #COMMSky from #ICA25! 🌞 If you have time from 3:00 PM to 5:45 PM, feel free to join us at our presentations! 🗣

@nibasaleem.bsky.social will be presenting an Intergroup Communication top paper! @garciaerick.bsky.social will be presenting on Risk, Race and Algorithms @icacat.bsky.social!

More great #ICA25 Computational Methods panels coming up today!

We hope you'll join us today for sessions on network analysis, computational tools, news analysis, data donation, and data collection

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

🚀 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!

Hey #ica25, introducing The Mobile Observation of Advertising Toolkit, a new app for capturing ads in the wild from Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, & YouTube.
