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…

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…

But, I had to read the speech several times to understand what’s…

Practicum: Network Analysis
I recently used Cytoscape – an open source platform for network analysis – to visualize the distribution of race and ethnicity among the deceased that law enforcement agencies killed in 2015 and 2016. I wanted to see which law enforcement agencies targeted which demographics of victims. I plan to use the information to focus activist…

Working as a teammate
We are supposed to perform a group project to analyze Dartmouth commencement speakers websites.First of all, every member of team should analyze the tasks individually using some tools like Voyant and then extracts most frequently words, and then analyze the website. After, all team members should bring all of the analysis together. I have two tasks (“Dartmouth…

Queer Internet Studies 2.0
Although I had a two-day migraine, I could not resist going to Jack Gieseking’s, Jessa Lingel’s, and Anne Esacove’s gathering of queer internet researchers from all over! When I arrived at the end of the first panel discussion, the second Queer Internet Studies Symposium audience was already abuzz with questions in the seminar room of The Institute of Contemporary Art at UPenn. We were…
