Violent and non-violent death tolls for the Gaza conflict: new primary evidence from a population-representative field survey This first independent population survey of mortality in the Gaza Strip shows that violent deaths have substantially exceeded official figures whereas the demographic composition of casualties aligns with MoH reporting. Non-violent excess deaths, although substantial, are lower than some projections have suggested. These findings show the feasibility of mortality surveillance in active conflict zones and provide crucial empirical foundations for assessing the true human cost of the conflict.

I’d been intrigued by the idea of using generative models to simulate ecosystems & other decentralized collectives 👾

An amazing team brought it to life — special thanks to Francesco Cozzi, who made it his Master’s thesis 🙏

If you Google Francesca Albanese, the first result shown is this piece of terrifying manipulation by the Israelian government attacking her persona.

If any non-western government was waging this kind of infowar, we would have already tons of computational social science about it.

Presented our work with @c0rrad0.bsky.social, @bolozna.bsky.social, and Barbara Keller on user behavior change after cross-party interactions at #ICWSM today! Was a great experience and got a lot of interesting questions 🙌
Also: currently looking for postdoc opportunities - happy to chat!

Climate movements gain participants from online discussions.
And among people talking about climate change, low-income ones are more likely to join climate action groups.

This and more in our model of climate activism on Reddit ✨just accepted✨ at #WWW2025
