The Twitter exodus has started, but maybe it should have started long ago? Our new study in @NatureComms shows that political abuse on X is a global, widespread, and cross-partisan phenomenon nature.com/articles/s4146…
What is not helpful [...] is to immediately suggest that the whole energy policy of a country moving towards renewables is not viable," Max Falkenberg [@MaxFalken], a Marie Curie Research Fellow at the Central European University [@dnds_ceu] said in the latest episode of the…
Happy to see this finally published in @NatureComms! 🎉 nature.com/articles/s4146… A short thread below 🧵 👇

Just a few days left to apply for our @netscisociety Netsci2025 📡Satellite 📷 "Understudied Networks in Computational Social Science". We have added an FAQ on about potential contributions. Submit by February 10th! galeale.github.io/UNCSS/
Last day to apply for our satellite on "Understudied Networks in Computational Social Science"! Submit by 23:59 AoE: galeale.github.io/UNCSS/ Come join us at @NetSciConf in Maastricht in June!
I attended #Complexity72h in Madrid last year! Unforgettable experience with young researchers exploring complex systems, AI, and networks. I studied social media polarization under the tutelage of @DeveloperGale and @MaxFalken. Deeply enriching! nature.com/articles/s4200…
Hey! Don't forget to apply for our NetSci 📡Satellite 📡 "Understudied Networks in Computational Social Science". We have added a FAQ about potential contributions. Deadline 10-02-2024. Spread the word with Bluesky people! @MaxFalken @DeveloperGale galeale.github.io/UNCSS/

Here's my version of this meme. (h/t NatashaJ for the file that I modified)
Politics are structurally polarized on X, with out-group interactions being more toxic and receiving lower engagement, compared to in-group interactions, across 9 countries, finds @MaxFalken @zollofab @Walter4C @JurgenPfeffer @a_baronca doi.org/10.1038/s41467…
Pleased to share the latest version of my paper with @arthur_spirling and @LexiPalmer_ on replication using LMs We show: 1. current applications of LMs in political science research *don't* meet basic standards of reproducibility...

It's official 🥳 Merriam Webster have decided that polarization is only between two poles! Guess we can move on from studying it in those strange multi-party countries 🤡 x.com/NewsHour/statu…
Merriam-Webster announced Monday that "polarization" is its word of the year. “Polarization means division, but it’s a very specific kind of division,” Peter Sokolowski, Merriam-Webster’s editor at large, told The Associated Press. “Polarization means that we are tending toward…
