Last month, I had the pleasure of appearing on MONEY FM 89.3 to chat on the Reset with Lynlee show. For the “Is It Just Me?” segment, we dove into a behavior most of us are guilty of: why do we spend so much time reading online comments from complete strangers?

Alvin Zhou, Ewa Maslowska, and I guest-edited a special issue on ``Generative AI in Computational Communication Research’’ for the journal Computational Communication Research. The special issue aimed to bring together cutting-edge research that either focuses on generative AI as a communication phenomenon, or substantively uses generative AI to study communication processes. We received several stellar submissions and we are happy to report that the special issue is live now on the CCR website! Read more

Last week I had the privilege of delivering two invited talks in Hong Kong - one at the Department of Media and Communication City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK), and another at the CUHK School of Journalism and Communication. It was my first visit to the city, and I found both the city vibes (which includes the dim sum, of course) and the conversations with collaborators and new colleagues immensely rewarding. Singapore and Hong Kong are uniquely positioned to contribute to the evolving discourse on computational social science. Yet, in exchanges with faculty and graduate students, I could sense how often Asian perspectives continue to fly under the radar in the broader narrative of the field, despite their potential to significantly enrich and recalibrate its trajectory.
