18 years and 1,476 games watching the @Raptors. I’ve been waiting for this. From the days of Rafael Araujo to Kawhi/Lowry #WeTheNorh #raptors #WeTheNBAEasternChamps

Conventional ideas about managing change emphasize the need for new processes. But you can’t implement them effectively unless you understand that employees don’t always behave in rational ways. See the @McKinsey Classic: Managing irrationality https://t.co/h1Upf7Aqtv

Great hearing a panel on socially conscious brands at the @NewsWhip event. For brands it’s important to listen to people online and find ways to measure their feelings. #whipsmart

Very happy to be at the @GENinnovate this year. The media industry needs to think differently about its potential broader role. It’s not just about writing articles, but creating healthy knowledge ecosystems. #GEN2018 #GENSummit

Got disoriented for a moment watching the new Jurassic World trailer. Not used to seeing Raptors this late in the spring.

Great snapshot of our 2016 alum in the field. Back in 2016, they investigated birth registrations in South Africa. Tomorrow, this year's first team is taking off to Palestine to research cash transfers. Safe, insightful, fun travels, @saambavimano, @joudy__s, Kyle & Clara.

The idea of 'black box' algorithms is increasingly present in the conversation about #Facebook #FacebookDataBreach. Here's a graphic I made to describe a #blackbox in the simplest of terms. Algorithms, the more complex they are, are also more difficult to understand.

What's the role of journalists in the era of algorithms? Read this @AP report by @Kourosh_Housh, '18 M.S., to learn more about the best practices on how to work collaboratively with machines.
Here's a graphical overview I created of machine to machine journalism for the @AP report on the role of #journalists in the era of #algorithms. @columbiajourn #AI #InternetOfThings #blackbox
