I’ve been working on collecting a body of literature dealing with social contagion such as smoking, obesity, sexual behavior, and the like, and I’ve inadvertently stumbled upon some pretty cool studies dealing with false perceptions and memory. I’m going to have spend more time looking at it, but right now I’m only giving things a quick glance.
I’m cataloging and tagging everything I find as part of data collection for the EPiC Project I’m working on with the folks over at the Cyberinfrastructure for Network Science Center, who are the same folks I was working with when I was working on the Network Workbench project. While I’m still listed as a programmer, I’m only assisting the programming team. My main job is research and as an intermediary between Jim Sherman and the developer team. I’m still participating in the developer meetings, but I’m more involved in translating requirements than actual programming, at least at this point in time.
