Well. So this happened.

It& #39;s a privilege and an honor. Much gratitude to so many who supported me for so long. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙏" title="Folded hands" aria-label="Emoji: Folded hands"> https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/23/business/media/how-zeynep-tufekci-keeps-getting-the-big-things-right.html">https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/2...
Also, as the NYT piece mentions I had a pretty rough childhood but I did have the best grandmother. She passed away last year (after a long and healthy life till almost the end). I wrote about her for my newsletter. One champion can make such a difference. https://tinyletter.com/zeynepnotes/letters/in-memory-of-my-grandmother-educate-your-girls-cherish-your-good-memories">https://tinyletter.com/zeynepnot...
I also want to add to this point, bringing back a piece I wrote about, uhh, Game of Thrones.(It was a good example!https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🐉" title="Drache" aria-label="Emoji: Drache">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷♀️" title="Achselzuckende Frau" aria-label="Emoji: Achselzuckende Frau">) We& #39;re naturally drawn to individual narratives but they don& #39;t illuminate as much as one would hope. Similarly, institutional solutions are better than heroism.

People to my work because of the NYT article (still https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙃" title="Auf den Kopf gestelltes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Auf den Kopf gestelltes Gesicht">) may be wondering about my new "cause", ventilation. Here& #39;s a thread with my article and some updates since. Mitigations stack, and ventilation is an important layer that urgently needs more attention. https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1288829829912113154">https://twitter.com/zeynep/st...
For many of you who kindly inquired: @nytimes updated the article, calling me "Dr." instead of Ms. No strong personal feelings but in a world where women& #39;s—especially non-white women& #39;s—expertise and smarts is so easily dismissed, titles can be necessary. https://twitter.com/benyt/status/1297907751482544128">https://twitter.com/benyt/sta...
Indeed. Ironic, but genuinely: the world we should strive for isn& #39;t the one focusing on the hero/billionaire/rouge agent but rather one where we build institutions that work, that we tend to, and and that we keep improving. For digital technology/AI too. https://twitter.com/pwnallthethings/status/1297906444587737088">https://twitter.com/pwnallthe...
After a headline that says I keep getting things right, I& #39;m surely going to screw up something big soon. No amount ofhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧿" title="Nazar amulet" aria-label="Emoji: Nazar amulet">is enough to ward that offhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😃" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit geöffnetem Mund" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit geöffnetem Mund">. That& #39;s fine. I& #39;m not a futurist. We should strive for deep & complex analyses, not nods to betting markets. https://twitter.com/kingshukdas/status/1297942473759547392">https://twitter.com/kingshukd...
Hearing from many friends. Yes, I have other work, too. Role of business models; machine learning and AI (both implications and bias); automation/AI and work; election integrity; computer security etc. I& #39;m gonna go put all my stuff on a page. (Yes, I should have years ago).https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😃" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit geöffnetem Mund" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit geöffnetem Mund">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷♀️" title="Achselzuckende Frau" aria-label="Emoji: Achselzuckende Frau">
