So excited for the Curiosity, Creativity, & Complexity conference here at @ZuckermanBrain @columbiacss today! Join us online for awesome talks on information seeking and curiosity #neuroscience #curiosity #InformationSeeking https://events.columbia.edu/cal/event/eventView.do?b=de&calPath=%2Fpublic%2Fcals%2FMainCal&guid=CAL-00bbdb7c-85a01c66-0185-a2d5aafc-00005377events@columbia.edu&recurrenceId=
#InformationSeeking #Curiosity #neuroscience
**Collective information science** #informationbehavior, including #sensemaking, #crisisinformatics and #rumoring, the dynamics of #informationecosystems, and corrupted and stigmatized #informationseeking.
**Complexity science**
#complexityscience, #systemsthinking, and #complexsystems as well as...
**Critical technology**
A critical approach to #sociotechnical systems, #surveillance and #algorithms, #cybernetics, and #swarmintelligence.

Here's my #introduction. I'm an #academic #librarian interested in #informationseeking, #infolit, #OER & other aspects of #openeducation. I love #gardening, esp. w/ #nativeplants -- got to help those #nativebees, #moths & #butterflies! I'm obsessed with #insects, #bats, #birds (actually all #animals I guess) & #naturephotography. I collect random #vintage things and enjoy #thrifting. My #rescuedog Polly is an awesome #frenchbulldog #bostonterrier mix. Here she is, ready for winter. #Dogs rule.

I've been here for a while, but time for a re- #introduction:
I'm Scott or Vortex Egg, and I'm a cursed librarian. I work at the intersection of #technology, #informationscience, and #collectivebehavior on mitigating informational harms and violent extremism. I am currently pursuing an MLIS degree and am employed as the tech lead of a related nonprofit.
My work and research touch on:
**Digital extremism**
The influence of digital technologies, #misinformation, #propaganda, and #informationoperations on the emergence of #cults, #conspiracytheories, and #terrorism and violent #extremism.
**Cursed library science**
The management of harmful information, #contentmoderation and #TrustAndSafety, #digitalarchiving & #digitalpreservation, and #research methods for #cursedknowledge.
**Collective information science**
Theories of collective #informationbehavior, including #sensemaking, #crisisinformatics and #rumoring, the dynamics of #informationecosystems, and corrupted and stigmatized #informationseeking.
**Complexity science**
My work is informed by a qualitative and applied approach to #complexityscience, #systemsthinking, and #complexsystems as well as...
**Critical technology**
A critical and analytical perspective on #sociotechnical systems, #surveillance and #algorithms, #cybernetics, and #swarmintelligence.
