Science is supposed to know no borders, until every major conference in my field picks the most hostile country to travel to as its venue 💆🏼

Our Head of Department, @arnoutvanderijt.bsky.social gave a thought-provoking keynote ‘Luck and Success in Millions of Life Courses’ from @ic2s2.bsky.social 2025.

This is an exciting topic, pioneered by the PopNet team (led by @franktakes.bsky.social and Eelke Heemskerk) and Statistics Netherlands (Jan van der Laan and Edwin de Jonge's poster at the #IC2S2 conference in 2019 is where we got the idea).
A nice discovery today: #ic2s2 keynotes are on Youtube! In particular, I think the papers listed by @lauraknelson.bsky.social in her keynote could form a great list for a CSS reading group.

I wrote up my #IC2S2 2025 takeaways. If you’re into computational social science, mobility data, or urban analytics, I’d love your thoughts.

yes it is, but de facto true. just came back from #ic2s2 , one of the main forums for scisci, and I can confirm this is still the case. in putting together the @euroscisci.bsky.social , we've been aiming at a more inclusive definition of the science of science

Back from #ic2s2 which was again a fantastic conference experience - congrats to the organizers! Some professors got a poster this time, which was actually super fun to design and present - haven't done it since my 1st year of PhD 16 years ago 👴
Thank you for coming to our presentation titled "Global Editing Patterns on Wikipedia Platform Reveal Segmentations in Knowledge Production" of #IC2S2 ! (Photo on the bottom right)

I had such a wonderful time @ic2s2.bsky.social thank you to the 2025 organizers for such a great IC2S2! #IC2S2
Returning from #ic2s2 feels a bit like coming home from summer camp at 14: exhausted, inspired, and already missing the many new friends
Had a great time at #IC2S2 and now on to #ACL2025! I will be...
1. Talking about metaphor/framing/dehumanization (again lol) in Poster Session 4, Wed 11am
2. On a panel at #Argmining2025 , Thu 5:15pm
3. Presenting a survey of antisemitism research in NLP at #WOAH2025, Fri 1:40pm
Let's chat!
Had an absolutely fantastic experience at #IC2S2!
Last week, I presented a systematic literature review on approaches to image clustering in social science, identifying key concepts, methods, and challenges.
It was great to connect with people working on similar topics and to see familiar faces!
#IC2S2 was so much fun, now see you at Vienna at #aclnlp2025. Fine me around the conference or in the poster session on Wednesday at 11 talking about this work, cultural competence in LLMs, and evaluation.

I was just rewatching @amirgo.bsky.social's #ic2s2 keynote, and it was amazing (relieving?) to recognize my approach to Congressional speech in his “language oppositionality” and that I apparently am onto something!
Back from #IC2S2: physically exhausted, mentally recharged. Huge thanks to @ic2s2.bsky.social for these amazing days ✨
I hope you’re all well on your way back from #ic2s2! I have a personal request to you. As you may know, I built the interactive agenda, and we all saw its benefits and shortcomings.
Please take some time and raise any issues you experienced for the next IC2S2 here:

Almost back from #ic2s2 (thanks Lufthansa). The most positively-surprising impression from the conference, almost a decade after the first edition, is how much the discipline has coalesced. In 2016, it was easy to distinguish a paper authored by computer scientists vs sociologists. Not so easy now!
Had a blast at #IC2S2 not in small part thanks to these lovely people!
@nunetsi.bsky.social had a great week at @ic2s2.bsky.social! Looking forward to the next #IC2S2 in Vermont 🔬⛰️
Hanging in Sweden for #IC2S2! Many great ideas and people. Inspiring talks. This trip has also renewed my dreams of someday having networks of high speed trains in the US.

Proud of our team's talks and posters at #IC2S2 in Norrköping Sweden - what a great week. We're excited to host next year in Vermont!
Just back from #IC2S2 2025 in Norrköping! I presented a poster + talk on VLLM-based clustering of social media images around climate change polarization. Huge thanks to the organizers and the whole community for the great discussions and inspiration!

An incredible week! 🌟 Proud to have been part of the organizing team, awed by Norrköping’s beautiful views and amazing food, and inspired by conversations with colleagues from around the globe.
Thank you for making this experience so unique, see you at the next one! #ic2s2
#ic2s2 let's connect! If we had a conversation and I haven't followed you yet, please do follow!
Our team had an amazing week at @ic2s2.bsky.social in Norrköping Sweden and we will post pictures of our posters and talks soon - the big news is that we're so excited to host #IC2S2 in Burlington in 2026! youtu.be/p412S4GnPkc
Got this candy at a swedish sweets shop after #ic2s2 and IT'S SO GOOD (salty licorice). Does anyone know the name of it?
