Thanks for the s/o! Shadi Hamid - you can check out how we think deliberative processes could function meaningfully here in the US via an Op-ed by our ED Kyle Bozentko w/Richard V. Reeves & Brookings Econ colleagues: brookings.edu/opinions/the-w…

Kyle Bozentko Ashleigh Maciolek (she/her) Richard V. Reeves & Hannah Van Drie argue for the increased use of citizens' juries in the US, in an article titled The Wisdom of Small Crowds. realclearpolicy.com/articles/2021/…

Threadbump TLDR: 1. People are wondering how to allay privacy concerns re GP data extraction 2. We built OpenSAFELY as open source tools to address this problem. 3. Huge Citizens Jury this week shows that patients understand and trust it (and moreso than other data projects)

Thanks, Ben, for laying out how OpenSAFELY structured this platform w/intentional focus on security, transparency & openness. Our (Center for New Democratic Processes) goal was providing jurors w/resources to examine/assess current & future initiatives and they did a fantastic job! ⚖️

Today we launch our first major project and what better way to start than with a lovely big piece of collaborative Public Involvement with @livuniHLS Centre of Excellence Infectious Diseases Research LCR Civic Data Cooperative Pfizer UK Center for New Democratic Processes #CitizenJury #AMRCitizenJury

Ned was a mentor, friend, collaborator, and cheerleader whose contributions to the field of deliberative democracy can not be understated. He was truly one of a kind and we will miss him dearly.

Today we launch the findings from our #AMRCitizensJury with our #PfizerAcademicCollaboration to beat the #Superbugs Find out more here; tinyurl.com/CitizensJuryURL

It was great to be here to launch this report and (finally) meet our colleagues, collaborators, and jurors!

Great to be here at Hannah Arendt Center at Bard College with you David Van Reybrouck - looking forward to our discussions w/Claudia Chwalisz Peter MacLeod and all the participants the next couple of days!

So amazing to see the efforts of our friends and collaborators in Morris recognized nationally! 📣

Looking forward to speaking at "Rethinking Tech: Life In and Out of the Metaverse" at the Athens Democracy Forum! I will be joining @metaesther42 Patricia Cohen Nanna-Louise Linde and Carola Los Arcos Nagore (Meta) to explore the impact of the #Metaverse on our lives.

Here at #athensdemocracy w/Achilles Tsaltas kicking of the 10th anniversary Athens Democracy Forum. Today focusing on Reimagining the Building Blocks of Democracy - starting with the power of people, a topic far the forefront of our work!

Excited for results of these discussions, particularly similarity and contrast re: spread of mis & #disinformation in the US/UK/EU contexts. Our Center for New Democratic Processes work w/journalists has explored how these dynamics influence political reporting, trust in media and how to respond.

Key Athens Democracy Forum findings: 1) govts have too much power 2) $$$ influences parties too much 3) legislators have too little power 4) tech diminishes trust across the board If solution to all ⤴️ is greater engagement how do we avoid simply replicating dynamics? #athensdemocracy

It can be so easy to fixate on models of deliberation and engagement but @ETemelkuranand & Mo Ibrahim Foundation remind us that people are dying for democracy across the world right now. Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський accepts the City of Athens Democracy Award on behalf of Ukraine. #athensdemocracy

"We look at the future of learning and work through the lens of Gen Z...they are digital native but they are also increasingly some of the most disenfranchised from democracy. It's a system that's not effectively delivering for them anymore"- @metaesther42 #metaverse #democracy

Closing out the Athens Democracy Forum Roger Cohen poignantly highlights the global threats to democracy, underscoring that “democracy is imperfect and in that imperfection is its humanity… our attempts to perfect it betray our hubris and lead to disillusionment” #AthensDemocracy

Voting is a critical component of our democracy. We encourage all individuals to exercise their fundamental right to the franchise this Election Day and beyond!
