Today we are launching our new Twitter API access tiers! We’re excited to share more details about our self-serve access. 🧵

For Academia, we are looking at new ways to continue serving this community. In the meantime Free, Basic and Enterprise tiers are available for academics. Stay tuned to @TwitterDev to learn more.

@TwitterDev Derek Van Berkel Andrea Ghermandi Johannes Langemeyer, interesting that they acknowledge the impact on academia, buy have no current solution. Perhaps @TwitterDev could be encourage to provide open access for research based on the results of our newest paper cell.com/one-earth/pdf/…

Much of the #ica23 research community is worried about #dataaccess from platforms. So are the hubs as part the European Digital Media Observatory network! I just presented these worries to the #EDMOeu conference ⬇️ The deteriorating #API access (yes🐦👀) is a real worry #disinformation

Monday is apparently the deadline (!) for comments on one of the most under-discussed transparency measures in the DSA: the public database of every (!) content moderation action taken by platforms. 1/ digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/news/digita…

📢 Article alert! In this new #openaccess article, UBDC colleagues assess the socio-demographic representativeness of mobile phone application data and its potential for advancing scientific research across a range of disciplines. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Tonight, the Arch of Titus, in Rome. We stand with #Israel. 🇮🇹 🇮🇱

Yesterday, the EPA finalized rules to reduce CH4 pollution from the oil and gas industry, and finalized updated estimates of the social cost of GHGs. The new value has a central estimate of $190 per ton CO2 in 2020, up from $50 using older models epa.gov/system/files...

Congratulations to our faculty Noga Collins-Kreiner, Boris A. Portnov, and Andrea Ghermandi, who were included in the latest edition of the standardized database by John Ioannidis (Stanford, USA) of the top 2% of researchers worldwide in 2022! 👏👏👏👏👏 doi.org/10.17632/btchx…

Exciting news for environmental researchers engaged in ecosystem services valuation! A new paper co-authored by our Andrea Ghermandi presents an up-to-date global synthesis of economic significance estimates of nature's contributions to human #Wellbeing ! doi.org/10.1016/j.ecos…

Congrats to Tal Levy for publishing her first PhD article in Science of the Total Environment! The research pioneers a novel method using digital footprints to monitor #jellyfish outbreaks in Israel, underscoring the value of novel digital data sources in ecological studies.  authors.elsevier.com/c/1iiYeB8cd0Iuz
