Today! From 10:30am - 4:15pm: “Rethinking the Future: People-centered Information & Communication Practices” hosted by the #RUSCI #LIS Research Committee. In person or virtually go.rutgers.edu/fpj92k55 Rutgers University

Associate Dean For Research Mark Aakhus introduced today’s symposium and said, here today “we are sharing problems, inclusive discovery, and collaborative design.”

#RUSCI #LIS faculty member Tawfiq Ammari presenting on panel 1. He is discussing the racial bias doctors often exhibit in their treatment of patients-even in their understanding of the pain threshold of different people.

Speaking on panel 1, Ralph Stowe said he founded Jazz for Prostate Cancer Awareness in honor of his brother, a trombonist, who died from prostate cancer, but saved his brothers who were tested and treated for prostate cancer after their brother’s diagnosis, and survived. #RUSCI

Ralph Stowe said his mission is reach every man to make them aware of prostate cancer, and he uses jazz as a means to reach people and increase awareness of the disease. He said“transparency builds trust” when building relationships.

Panel one discusses the best ways to conduct research in marginalized and traumatized populations. Stowe said “transparency builds trust,” Ackerman said, “Communication goes both ways.” “Show up when you don’t have to” Senteio added. #RUSCI

Devren Washington of People’s Tech Project shares his personal story of how his experience as a young Black man piqued his interest in how technology plays into larger systems

What an incredible pleasure to be part of this discussion on community engaged scholarship and sitting next to these 2 doing amazing work, Tawfiq Ammari and Jazz4PCA's founder Ralph Stowe. If you are unfamiliar with Jazz 4 Prostate Cancer Awareness, check out their great work.

Check out our nature comment article on AI generated content during elections: nature.com/articles/d4158… Short summary: There was not much gen AI content during the elections. This was (imo) because it was much easier to generate misinfo/hate content with existing tooling.
