[UCR_DataScience] new location and program --- Workshop on the Impacts of Social Media on the Health of Individuals, Communities and Society

[tsotras at cs.ucr.edu]

Colleagues,

the workshop ("Impacts of Social Media on the Health of Individuals,
Communities and Society") will take place this coming Friday Aug 26th from
8:45am-5pm.

The location has been moved to the **MRB seminar Room**.

The tentative program is attached. The program has one invited talk and
many lightning talks from faculty/grad students that work with social
data. There will be two group discussions at the end of the day. The aim
is to bring together colleagues that work on related areas and examine
possible research and grant proposal collaborations.

If you plan to attend please complete the form (preferably by Wed so that
we can order lunch):

> Dear colleagues,
>
> it has become apparent from recent Data Science seminars that there is a
> lot of interest among UCR colleagues in researching various aspects of
> social media data and its effects. A group of us met recently and we felt
> that it will be useful to organize a workshop. The focus will be on
> analyzing the content and quality of online information (whether it comes
> from websites and online forums or social media like Twitter, Facebook
> etc.) and examining its effect on the health of individuals, communities
> and society in general.
