Aaand the panel is done.
Three papers on scaling different methods to make them run faster or bigger. One about scaling methods that put things on lines. (Guess who that was)
Thanks to Melinda Much for discussion+chairing and #APSA2020 for keyword-driven panel construction
I am *very* excited about this work from @z_terechshenko developing a framework for robust and generalizable bot detection
Bots are continually getting more sophisticated and this work is SO important! #APSA2020
Great work from Phillip Kling, @p_barbera, @andyguess and others looking at network homophily and *awareness* of political political homophily
People often overestimate how many of their Twitter friends share their ideology #APSA2020
Super interesting and important work from @aghpol et al assessing the representativeness of tweeter and tweets
They compare a survey methodology to matching using administrative data (from @davidlazer et al) and find both reveal similar demographics and behaviors #APSA2020

Delighted to get to share my work on voice and inequality in the spread of COVID-19 (mis)information during this afternoon's #APSA2020 "Political Science Responds to COVID-19" panel
Joint work with @ryanjgallag, @foucaultwelles and @davidlazer!
Great work from @mattysimonson examining vulnerable populations and COVID-19 misinformation
Using a national survey, he finds that some groups are more susceptible to misinformation and that small amounts of misinfo can have an impact #APSA2020
Super interesting work from Stephen Schneider and @FrankGonzo5189 examining political affect and memes
They create a data set of memes which attack the in-party, out-party, or are apolitical. People are warmer to an out-party they deem competent #APSA2020
Absolutely fantastic work from @erinrossiter (💥ON THE JOB MARKET 💥) looking at the effect of conversation on outparty animosity
Erin develops methodological innovations to experimentally test this question, finding people are warmer to the outparty following convos #APSA2020

Really great work from @aslett_kevin looking at tendencies to believe fake news
The bad news is that people believe fake news about 1/3 of the time...and various interventions (such as searching for evidence) just make people *more likely to believe fake news* 😬 #APSA2020
Fantastic work from @RERobertson (on the market!!) using consent-based browser extension to examine political search behaviors.
He finds striking partisan differences in information exposure, with the greatest concentration of fake news among older republicans #APSA2020
Also love this #APSA2020 methods poster from @8rachelharmon outlining best practices for non-exploitative research. *So* important!!
If you're attending #APSA2020 be sure to check out the poster session (methods poster session happening now!!)
Particularly love this work from @melina__much proposing a Bayesian MLM for studying intersectionality!
