Our Mobility, A Research Project
Our mobility—whether it’s walking to a corner store, commuting by bus, driving across town, or flying across the globe—says something about our social advantages and disadvantages, culture, geography, goals, responsibilities, health, and well-being. Learning about the diversity of our mobile lives is one of the motivations behind my research project, Our Mobility. For some people, […]

On the implications of multimodal research for ethnography– and for the environment
As a social scientist and scholar, I see the emergence of digital or multimodal dissertations— traditionally researched and developed theses, which are published electronically and enhanced by audio files, video segments and even infographics generated from the research data—as platforms that expand the accessibility, timeliness and utility of graduate research for a broader global community.

Data Visualization: Introduction to Shiny Web Applications
With the growing interest in interactive web applications for data visualization, the mastery of reactive frameworks, such as Shiny, becomes a valuable skill set in data science and digital humanities. Shiny is the analytical dashboards package created by R Studio, one of the key promoters and developers of R. It allows for rapid prototyping and deployment […]

Cytoscape and customizing your network
“Cytoscape is an open source and [Java-based] software for integrating biomolecular interaction networks with high-throughput expression data and other molecular states into a unified conceptual framework” (Shannon 2498). It uses graph theory for modeling and rendering to display interactive graphs. This application is very professional with a lot of features and requires good knowledge of Data analysis […]

Cytoscape & The Counted
Cytoscape! It is “an open source software platform for visualizing molecular interaction networks and biological pathways and integrating these networks with annotations, gene expression profiles and other state data.” In my case, I used it to visualize data about the race/ethnicity of people killed by law enforcement in 2015. The data comes from The Counted, a platform dedicated to […]

The Counted Cytoscape network
I found this practicum very interesting in how we used a bioinformatics tool that visualizes molecular interactions for a humanities and social justice project. According to Miriam Posners article on Cytoscape, you can visualize any information in the format of subject-verb-object. For example: Katy eats cake. Julia eats cake. Katy eats ice cream. This would give […]

Voyant and Dartmouth College Commencement
I used Voyant to analyze two websites for Dartmouth College Commencement. Every try came up with most frequent words and a snapshot of the website analysis. For example, the first one was https://news.dartmouth.edu/news/2015/06/david-brooks-commencement-address The results were: Those frequent words were reasonable are proportional to the main idea. But, I had to read the speech several times to understand what’s […]
