SDAL Seminar: Public Health Information in Social Networks
(Greater Washington DC Metro Area)
Winter Mason, data scientist at Facebook, will present "Public Health Information in Social Networks." During his talk, Mason will present research on the factors and consequences of information sharing in social networks, including the structures of the networks, the content of the message, and the interactions between the two. He will also talk about how health researchers can leverage social media and the internet more broadly to create effective interventions.
Mason's research bridges psychology and computer science, focusing on social networks, social media, and crowd sourcing. He received a Ph.D. in social psychology and cognitive science from Indiana University in 2007.
Prior to joining Facebook, Mason worked as a visiting scientist with the Human Social Dynamics group at Yahoo! Research and then as an assistant professor in the Howe school of Technology Management at Stevens Institute of Technology.
