Weekly Update: Please update this list of content to promote for the coming week

[nadia]

@stefanoboski hi did you see Maria’s comment above with content for promoting the event tomorrow?

[MariaEuler]

The live chat will happen here, where Erik personally introduced himself:

I’m Erik Bohjort, psychologist, nudger and (digital) behaviour change enthusiast. Ask Me Anything about behaviour, psychology and tech!

[2] Coming from the theoretical standpoint of psychology and cognitive behavioural therapy I am always curious to explore how to apply and integrate my knowledge in new areas through collaboration. Two years ago I had the pleasure of doing exactly this within a fin- and ed-tech startup working with financial education for children. This allowed me to start navigating the landscape of how developmental psychology, technology and education intersect. Since then I have been involved in research …

@nadia @MariaEuler apologies, I was on location all day yesterday so did not get a chance to check my emails and messages until now. Thanks for these, I’ll add them to all the scheduled posts for the rest of today and tomorrow morning.

[MariaEuler]

thank you :).

[nadia]

hey guys @noemi @MariaEuler @johncoate - a reminder to us all to add the hashtag for the project to which the post belongs when we add things to the list to be promited - e.g #ngi4eu or #poprebel or #scifieconomics and to cc our partner organisations social media handles for each one

[johncoate]

I’m not sure I know what those handles are for those various orgs.

[stefanoboski]

FYI the Swedes and the internet story page for this week’s schedule is not working for me, is there an alternative link?

[noemi]

Here it is:

Swedes and the Internet: A new report out on how the pandemic is affecting our digital lives and use of digital services

“In Sweden in 2020, digitalisation has had to show what it’s good for, and the internet has been an invaluable help during the pandemic. Thanks to the internet, we have been able to keep in touch during social distancing, buy food and experience cultural events without risk of infection. We have worked and studied at a distance, but digital life has not been the same for everyone.” You can find an English summary here: The Swedes and the Internet 2020 - Summary | Svenskarna och internet And th…

(Tip: next time, you can use the Search function on edgeryders.eu - upper right corner, next to the hamburger menu, and type in the keywords in the title i.e. ‘Swedes’ and ‘internet’. It will return the story you’re looking for!)

Perfect, thanks @noemi!

@MariaEuler thanks for the info and resources!

[noemi]

@stefanoboski can I ask you to share the stories for 4-12 Feb? Thank you!

Here are some visuals which might help:

[stefanoboski]

Thanks Noemi! I’ll get these up on social as soon as possible.

@nadia

When the COVID-19 crisis erupted in early 2020, the open data pipelines burst at the seams. In many countries, it has been surprisingly difficult for researchers, journalists and citizens to access even basic data on how the pandemic played out. Giorgia Lodi and Andrea Borruso fight for openness of covid data. You can ask them anything in the AMA live session on March 2nd 18:30-19:30 AMA - Data Openness and Covid Sign up here: Edgeryders Forms ngi4eu

@stefanoboski, this is the next AMA.

Here is flyer material for the outreach:

[stefanoboski]

@MariaEuler thanks Maria! Unfortunately my current contract with Edgeryders has finished so I won’t be managing any of the social media content until further notice.

[MariaEuler]

Thank you for the information. Wish you all the best.

[johncoate]

I am covering for Maria while she is out on leave. I have a question about this process and the need for it, at least regarding NGI. If the ethnographers say they have enough material and actually don’t want to code more than what is there (and at this point hardly anything new shows up), then what is the purpose of doing this for NGI at this point? Is it to stimulate interest in the ‘final event’? @nadia ?

[johncoate]

Meanwhile, what’s going on this week…

New EU rules for online platforms regarding taking down terrorist content within 1 hour of a warning:

New rules adopted for quick and smooth removal of terrorist content online

I’m pretty sure these rules apply to this ER site just like all the others. I guess we’ll find out what this means, “Companies should publish annual transparency reports on what action they have taken to stop the dissemination of terrorist content.”

An innovative approach to sustainable internet - adjust servers according to where the sun is shining:

A solarpunk internet?

The EU should pay attention to this kind of thing if it is not already.

Alberto led the Interpretation Challenge at the recent Masters of Networks event:

Masters of Networks 5: interpretation challenge documentation

How much information do we lose when we filter in only edges whose k_p value is above a minimum threshold? Let’s make a few observations based on the NGI Forward dataset. k and k_p are positively correlated, but not as tightly as you might think (0.41). There are quite a lot of edges with high k, but a relatively low k_p. As a result, when we impose a higher k_p threshold, even by just one unit, we are throwing away many high-intensity edges. Let us consider only the values of k_p between…

Leonie’s latest report.

Ethnography Report 3 | The Future of Work (Continued)

[Ethno report banner (8)] This April I sat down (virtually) with @JohnCoate to discuss his experience acting as community manager for the NGI project. We talked about the Edgeryders platform as a social space and we considered how it creates a unique vantage point from which to observe how ideas are shared, projects developed and networks of collaboration formed. John compared the Edgeryders platform to large social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter, explaining that unlike Facebook, wh…
