Do you teach #rstats? Do your students complain about how lame and old-fashioned dplyr is? Don't worry: I have the solution for you: github.com/hadley/genzp....

genzplyr is dplyr, but bussin fr fr no cap.

Interested in…
a) taking theories out of the lab (and try to specify them to work irl)
b) computational methods (data donations, LLM content analysis)
c) media coping
d) all of the above?
Then our new HCR-paper is *just* for you! doi.org/10.1093/hcr/...

Ever wondered what researchers beyond #commsky have to say about autonomy in digital technology use (e.g., affordances, situations, context)?

Check out our interdisciplinary, large scale (computational) scoping review w/ @anishaarenz.bsky.social @leonardreinecke.bsky.social

Very fun project with @rkreling.bsky.social, @aliciagilbert.bsky.social, @leonardreinecke.bsky.social. Most interesting challenge for me: How can we utilize the scarce information in Netflix DDPs to study entertainment phenomena in the wild using data donations.
What content do people watch when experiencing stressors? We matched data donations w/ content descriptions & linked them to diary surveys for an answer! Sadly rejected at #ica25 but proud of this collab w/ @felix-dietrich.de, @aliciagilbert.bsky.social, @leonardreinecke.bsky.social 👉 doi.org/n2z2
