@smallcircles @mysteriarch I like that #peopleverse concept where technology and human needs are aligned in, at least, the most obvious ways they are currently misaligned. I have always been working toward such, myself.
In the field of #HCI, despite the C for computer, the study officially includes all kinds of #informatics, or informational systems, even those that do not rely exclusively on electronics.
I'm Märta, she/they, 35 yrs, living in the middle of Sweden with my SO and our elderly #NorwegianForestcat.
Our home is filled with #plants, of which some are successful and some are an experiment. I'm a #gamer, a #music enthusiast, a #hockey fan, #neurodivergent, a #yarn #crafter, #LGBTQIA+, a #baker, learning #foraging, and with a re-found love for #reading.
After 10 years of working as a university #librarian, I'm now studying #statistics with an #informatics profile.

Beim #NFDIxCS Fachsymposium wird schon heute an den wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchs gedacht! Einen Tag entwarfen Vertretende der Forschungsdaten- und Forschungssoftware-Community gemeinsame Visionen und stärkten ihre Zusammenarbeit zu Themen wie #metadaten , #KnowledgeGraphs und #Community Building.
Die Zusammenfassung der Veranstaltung, inkl. Foliensätze, ist ab jetzt unter https://nfdixcs.org/meldung/nfdixcs-fachsymposium-forschungsdatenmanagement-fuer-und-mit-der-informatik verfügbar. Vielen Dank an alle Beteiligten!

Visiting my old digs in #Boston as an #NLM #Informatics Fellow back in 1988-90.
My appointment was with the Harvard School of #PublicHealth and my office cube was in the old Peter Bent Brigham Hospital building.
Old photo is from 1911 showing William Osler (mentor) and Harvey Cushing (first chair of surgery). #History
Read the interview with our #sports #informatics professor Daniel Link, who talks about how data is collected and processed in #soccer and how #dataanalyses help to improve the game: http://go.tum.de/302108

If I could take one truth about social media and, with a magical snap of my fingers, have it understood by the whole world, it would be this:
When some drippy bint or oozing pud has blatherated out a toxic opinion, NEVER quote them derisively just so that everyone else can see and learn how toxic they are. When you do that, you AMPLIFY the toxic opinion. Some of the people who see your post will think "Damn, yeah! Sign me up to that newsletter!"
Nice piece by @parismarx about the importance of physical media. and the right to control, for equitable access. The cloud is by definition somebody else’s property and this has real repercussions beyond mere entertainment. Too many in #heritage #opengov and lots of other sectors think that putting something online alone makes it findable and reusable.
Living history piece by @Mer__edith
“The blueprint for modern digital computing was codesigned by Charles Babbage, a vocal champion for the … industrial capitalist class who condemned organized workers and viewed democracy and capitalism as incompatible … His influential theories on how “enterprising capitalists” could best subjugate workers are well documented in conventional labor scholarship.”

Be the Internet you want to see.
“Zooniverse is the world’s largest and most popular platform for people-powered research … made possible by volunteers — more than a million people around the world who come together to assist professional researchers. Our goal is to enable research that would not be possible, or practical, otherwise. Zooniverse research results in new discoveries …”
It's #scifi week in my #STS class. Students mining the CC-licensed short story archive of @pluralistic to examine how science fiction functions as moral and ethical fables. Also learning more Mastodon.
1. Some research into Doctorow
2. Examination of current events he highlights on Mastodon
3. Choice of short story and lightning talks coordinated with class readings on ethics and social informatics

Being an #informatics PhD student sometimes means that while preparing a lab session,
you might learn things about
*checks notes*
interplanetary communication.
I like my job.
#pascodaGoDrrr
Prepping next week's activity on #SciFi as #STS critique for my social #informatics and cyborg #anthropology students.
We all watch a short film version of *Car Wars* by @pluralistic and then the class examines the plot from three different critical perspectives.
Students are working together as teams in Google Docs within the same classroom, F2F discussion, shared workspace.
Whole class shares and debriefs toward end of session.

Hello Fediverse! We're the Student Research Journal out of San Jose State's iSchool, and our whole team is excited to join the interoperable web!
We are a double-blind, peer-reviewed journal developed and led by current graduate students at San Jose State University's School of information. Our goal is threefold: to empower budding researchers, to publish relevant content of the highest quality, and to build an international community of student researchers.
The peer review process is rigorous, but it's also an amazing opportunity to get feedback on your work from experienced editors. We'll work with you to polish your manuscript into its best possible form.

I'm interested in science, particularly in #informatics, #maths and #linguistics. If you didn't figure it out already, I also very much enjoy #programming, although I only really know #Python.
#Books and stories in general catch my interest too. My favorite is probably the whole #Cosmere by #BrandonSanderson. Other ones are #Dune, #Arcane, #ASilentVoice and #TheOwlHouse.
I like to create things, whether it be a program, music, stories or #worldbuilding that won't get finished ever.

#introduction I'm a guy living the most heteronormative life, although I know for some years I'm bisexual. I opened the closet and pretty much stayed inside, so I'm now looking to inhabit less cis-heteronormative spaces in order to find myself.
I have a PhD in #informatics, I'm working in the #industry, I love geeky stuff, I'm shy or super loud I *love* to dance, and while some say I'm a great dancer, some say I suck big time
I don't know what I'll post here, tbh...
Come and work with us!
