Strava = proof of work
I'm telling ya. Strava should be the next big social alternative to Twitter. To post something, you gotta do a physical exercise. Will make the world healthy and cut the rubbish on this site* *assuming one doesn't cheat when posting.

Hidden spy devices aresold in big retailers, they work, and are being used against survivors of IPV. But hidden device detectors are mostly snake oil. @RoseCeccio 's first paper! 🎉 With @sophxstephenson @danny_y_huang & Varun Chadha.
My recent work (to be presented at @USENIXSecurity) investigates the ecosystem of spy devices used for Intimate Partner Surveillance (IPS). We found that online retailers such as @amazon @Walmart and @eBay all carry devices that can be used for IPS.

Before grad school, I was really scared I wouldn't be "smart enough" to do well at research. So I want to share some traits & skills other than smarts that helped me. It's cool not to have all of these, everyone is different---just know it's not all about being "smart." 🧵

“I hope this email finds you well.”
When I need to write an email asking someone busy for something, I write a first draft and then go back and eliminate every unnecessary word. If I'm asking them for something, I owe them something in return, and one thing I can do for them is make my email less work to read.

looking forward to these changes!
IEEE Security and Privacy 2024 has a new review process that accounts for many things I've often had an issue with in current reviewing systems. Excited to see how this experiment goes!

Using ChatGPT to help with data labeling
In an attempt to make research budgets stretch a bit further, we've been playing with ChatGPT to see if it can replace human labelling for various Twitter datasets. If curious, we have some early-stage results here: https://t.co/4A8jBUerKG

After a long and unsuccessful search for a statistical inference and regression textbook at the right level for our PhD students, I finally decided to write up my lecture notes as a book. The book is publicly available if you are interested: https://t.co/XDB34FjaMS

TIL: TED Talk but for security engineering
Excited about practical engineering research? Sign up to attend #NeverWorkInTheory! https://t.co/BGrMNvyaBO I'll be discussing the theory and practice of vuln remediation, and the rest of the lineup looks AMAZING. High quality, actionable talks. What else could you want?

A thriller to read for the weekend:
For those saying they’ve not seen a 2-3 month rewrite succeed. I did. Was part of it. 3 months planned to rewrite Uber’s mobile app… done in 5. ~3-400 engineers, 1M lines of code. We did it. But there was a price and lots of learnings. https://t.co/dsZpwcWexH

Explain your research idea in the fewest possible words — good exercise for researchers as they refine their research vision
Partly the goal is to test whether I understand them. But the exercise of finding the shortest possible explanation is also a useful one in itself. It usually helps to clarify the idea.
