Postdoc at McGill. I research collaborative research practices and the uptake of new tools that reconfigure knowledge production, especially in archaeology and the social sciences and humanities, and now also in epidemiology.

Specifically: data sharing, open source communities of practice, and the cultural and epistemic implications of open science infrastructures and policy.

Also interested in bad sci-fi, experimental and DIY tech stuff and point-and-click video games :)

So I'm using a CLI-based qualitative data analysis system (it's great! https://qualitative-coding.readthedocs.io) that I integrate into my VSCode workspace. I happened to start experimenting with copilot last week and today when I started qualitative coding I noticed it was offering me suggestions. Seems to be based on my prior codings rather than the actual file from the corpus, but still a bit eerie and not sure if I want to keep this on or not.

My mom is reading a Jodi Picoult novel about romance among archaeologists (honestly, not far off from https://twitter.com/tinyarchae), and she sent me some really great descriptions of digital fieldwork methods

@zackbatist if there’s a tinyarchae vibe, i fear for alberto and wyatt. somebody’s gonna fall down that shaft.
@zackbatist ..i realize that while i killed my own twitter account, i forgot to kill all the bots
