From Twitter Thread to Model to Keynote
Maha Bali,
Reflecting Allowed,
Nov 27, 2020
My favourite part of this post is the parenthetical remark: "I will not apologize that I built this model entirely on the tweets of people without doing background research... I hope that the way we presented our model clearly attributed all the ideas to the people who came up with them." I wish we saw more of that in academic. Pretty much everything that is written up in an academic journal had its origins in some informal circle of practice, and the people in such circles (who are often practitioners and non-academics) fail to get mentioned or credited in the articles. In the past, these circles were formed on discussion lists and electronic conferencing, then blog networks, and these days, as Maha Bali shows, on Twitter threads.
