1. In five days, I'm headed to Australia: Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne. I can't wait. So many colleagues to meet and birds to see!
For those who are interested in such things, I'll be giving a few public talks in addition to a number of academic lectures.
The public talks will mostly focus on something I've been thinking about lately, "The Crisis of Human Collective Decision-Making in a Social Media World".
Details below.
2. On Wednesday November 15th, 5 PM at Macquarie University, I'll be giving a public lecture on that subject.
3. On Thursday, November 16th, 6:30 PM at UNSW., I'll be giving the Wallace Wurth lecture "The Art of Skepticism in a Data-Driven World", hosted by Rob Brooks. I believe there is to be a book signing afterward.
