TaxonWorks

It is one week until TaxonWorks Together 2025.

With 7 in-depth conversations ranging from eDNA to Research Software Engineers and the role of vouchering in Natural History Collections, and stories of #data in transition, there's much more than TaxonWorks on the table.

Had my social informatics students read work @pluralistic did with Consumer Reports about social media federation and user rights. Also considering what we can learn about society, technology, and ethics from science fiction.

If anybody is interested in reusing, here's the text of the module. Comments welcome if you plan to use or have used.

/* ACTIVITY BEGINS

SETUP: Students work with this material in collaborative file space

As a group, read these two connected pieces:

1. “Inside the Clock Tower: An Interoperability Story,” a short story by Cory Doctorow, commissioned by Consumer Reports regarding user experiences on social media and how regulatory legislation might affect those experiences - innovation.consumerreports.org

2. “An Interview with Tech Activist and Author Cory Doctorow,” about the ACCESS Act by Consumer Reports - consumerreports.org/digital-ri

Answer these questions as a group in the space below:

1. How can you use our class science fiction readings to connect Doctorow’s assessment of the real social media landscape with his portrayal of a social media landscape in science fiction?

2. How can you use lessons from Kling, Hanson, and Coleman to explain how Doctorow’s actions here are a kind of folksy social informatics?

3. How can you connect Doctorow’s work in both pieces to your understanding of the Mastodon social network?

Innovation at Consumer Reports · Inside the Clock Tower: An Interoperability Story - Innovation at Consumer ReportsEditor’s note: Last week, the House Judiciary Committee introduced a package of bills to address concerns with the market power exerted by large online platforms. One of these is the ACCESS Act. It would mandate interoperability for large online platforms, meaning, in part, that a consumer could still connect with her friends through Facebook even if

Our paper on leveraging large language models for academic conference organization (the AMIA 2024 Informatics Summit) was published today in npj Digital Medicine.

NatureLeveraging large language models for academic conference organization - npj Digital MedicineWe piloted using Large Language Models (LLMs) for organizing AMIA 2024 Informatics Summit. LLMs were prompt engineered to develop algorithms for reviewer assignments, group presentations into sessions, suggest session titles, and provide one-sentence summaries for presentations. These tools substantially reduced planning time while enhancing the coherence and efficiency of conference organization. Our experience shows the potential of generative AI and LLMs to complement human expertise in academic conference planning.

“ … what can Wikipedia tell us about human curiosity? Dani Bassett, a professor in the department of bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania, observed three different curiosity styles in people browsing the online encyclopedia—hunter, busybody, and dancer. They explain characteristics of each style and how which approach you use could depend on where you live.”
