Confidential to those who stayed till the end: “Alone” by Heart is playing on the radio where I am at the moment. Goodnight and safe travels to all. #AoIR2024
Folks, it is impossible to predict what sessions will fill up and which will have space. If you must be at a session, please arrive with ample time to secure a seat. If a room is full, consider attending another session and enjoy the serendipity of trying something unexpected. Please treat volunteers and helpers with respect. Thank you! #aoir2024

It’s not every day anymore that I run into a scholar whom I’ve never met in person but whose work was so formative to me that I immediately turn into a pile of blushing babbling mush, but that just happened. #aoir2025
@stevejones@aoir.social reminds us that folks came together in a proto-AOIR form because they couldn’t find space to do their work in their home (traditional) disciplines. Still often true. #aoir2024
Today a third-year doc student gave an _excellent_ paper (among three brilliant ones) on the panel I had the honor of moderating, and twice referenced a deep cut concept of mine. Makes me really want to pick it up again, 15 years later, and I felt really touched that something I’d said like that mattered. #aoir2024

The #yourslipisshowing, led by Black women, used technical means and cultural knowledge to bust rings/networks of foreign actors posing as Black women themselves. Badly. 😒paper by Kevin Winstead. #aoir2024
Please have your drink tickets ready before ordering! Thanks. #aoir2024

And in at least one case, fairly convincingly. They spent months/years building up these accounts and populating them, and layered them across platforms, too. This one was a Russian 2016 election interference campaign. #aoir2024
What a wonderful kickoff panel we had this morning! Resistance #aoir2024
