At this month's meetup at Do North Coworking, academic collaborators Dr. Drew Bush and Dr. Jin Xing of McGill University will present the findings of their studies of Twitter, Trump, and climate change... examining the big data of public opinion online.

Public discourse on climate science often fails to reflect actual scientific findings. For scientists, the challenge can be identifying where in the vast amount of online discourse their voices might be valued. This talk examines how a data mining technique (Word2Vec) popular in the digital humanities can aid researchers studying public perceptions of climate change using real-time, big data online. Our presenters will also share their findings on the role of Twitter and online blogs in civic discourse.

Where: Do North Coworking, 930 Broad Street, Lyndonville, Vermont
