Indeed, the official announcement came a few days later. Foo Camp is an informal […] Back in February, I had the privilege of attending Social Science Foo Camp, a flexible-schedule conference hosted in part by SAGE at Facebook HQ where questions of progress in the age of Big Data were a major topic of discussion. Sherrif Karamat, CAE, is President and Chief Executive Officer of PCMA. February 2019, O'Reilly co-organized its second Social Science Foo Camp with Facebook and SAGE at the Facebook campus in Menlo Park.
Meier began her human resources career in 1999 as human resources manager for Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide LLC, now a subsidiary of Marriott International Inc. She previously worked as director and manager in Starwood’s housekeeping division. I should not have been surprised that these social insects have something to teach us, as I spend a lot of my time researching bee behavior, specifically how the organizational design of hexagonal hives and the social signals developed by bees can inform better-managed companies. “There’s tons of research literature that says diversity, and not just physical diversity, but cognitive diversity, social background diversity, academic diversity, just generally leads to better outcomes because we’re able to incorporate things from other, adjacent areas that end up making a lot of sense that wouldn’t be obvious to someone focused in that space,” Magoulas said. Long before invitations go out, Science Foo Camp organizers decide on 10 different topics that they think should be examined at that year’s event, and find individuals in a variety of disciplines who are doing interesting work in those areas — for example, Science Foo Camp 2020 might have a number of attendees who work in public health to speak on COVID-19, Magoulas said. The company hires top data scientists, sociologists, and statisticians, but their primary job is not to conduct academic research, it’s to use research to improve Facebook’s products and promote growth. The Foo Camp session was packed with researchers from inside and outside of Facebook, and there was a heady ebullience. Social Science Foo Camp is co-organised by SAGE, O’Reilly Media, Facebook and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. This second Foo Camp (the name Foo comes from Friend of O’Reilly), hosted in February at Facebook’s headquarters in Menlo Park, Calif., is the result of a four-way collaboration between O’Reilly Media Inc., Sage Publications Inc., The Alfred P.

It isn’t often that I get to go to an “unconference,” where instead of formal sessions, participants pitch topics on the day of the event to come up with an agenda. They don’t use the service so they can participate in experiments or contribute to research, and they don’t get to opt out of these studies. For more about Strategy&, see www.strategyand.pwc.com. Oh, Uber. A space to explore, share and shape the issues facing social and behavioral scientists. He understands how innovation, research and technology intersect and evaluates what is leading edge versus cutting edge. I’d rather talk about the science of soap bubbles. Yep, that same unthinkably massive trove that brought us Cambridge Analytica. Her key areas of responsibility include community and chapter engagement, research, social impact and volunteerism.
