The Five Secrets to Launch Your Data Career in 2020 

This is a live virtual training open to South Hub members as well as those in your network interested in a data career. The secrets are actually taught by our Executive Director Dr. Renata Rawlings-Goss. She will share these "secrets" with everyone, based on her new book Data Careers, Training, and Hiring. This training is for those who can sometimes struggle with getting mentorship for technical data careers. The reason these "secrets" work is because they are not really secrets. They are evidence-based, best practices.  Learn more at the website.

Title and Abstract :
Social Media and Belief in the Chemtrails Conspiracy
Amy will present results from a qualitative study of social media use by people who believe in the “chemtrails” conspiracy, the notion that the visible condensation trails behind airplanes are evidence of deliberate spraying for nefarious purposes. Chemtrails believers often first learn about the conspiracy on YouTube, and their beliefs are reinforced on Facebook groups. Surprisingly, the way in is often the way out: we report on ex-believers who were persuaded to no longer believe via these same media—YouTube and Facebook groups.
