Very proud of this paper, a tremendous team effort. I think it has very broad implications for how people get info on social media. We focus here on how people curate political info they share & consume on Twitter & Facebook, but it has implications beyond politics.

1/3 🧵 #NIH has decimated the #LGBTQ research program of one of my friends, Dr. Birkett at Northwestern, & I'm sharing her story. Not one for hyperbole, she likens the loss to when her dad died. The LGBTQ community is irreparably harmed, & they've had to lay off 15 people...
