A few months ago, I was asked to give a talk about some work I had done analyzing and investigating fake science as open science/data.

This talk explores how a young man in Europe used open science platforms to legitimize a racist, anti-Muslim agenda.

A key part of this story takes place in Charlottesville. And I'll be giving the talk in Portland.

In the time since I was invited, 100ish people in Charlottesville chanted Nazi slogans in a park, and Portland is about to explode.

I don't select these backdrops for the talks I give, but it goes to show how we can't treat these things in isolation.

The people of Portland and Charlottesville must know the power and danger of legitimizing hatred. How can we escape it?

I can't escape it. For the past year I've been exploring a move to Portland, with full knowledge of the atmosphere but a belief it was safer

So unless I move to Europe, which may happen yet, the only thing I can do now is speak & hope my work makes a dent in the legitimacy of hate

What was once mostly abstract issue has now become super important in how we act as digital citizens. I hope I don't let y'all down.
