Smart 2.0
The rapid proliferation of social media has created new data stemming from users’ thoughts, feelings, and interests. However, this unprecedented growth has led to the widespread dissemination of misinformation—deliberately or inadvertently false content that can trigger dangerous societal ramifications. Visual analytics combines advanced data analytics and interactive visualizations to explore data and mine insights. This article introduces the S…
Detecting Covid-19 Fake News on Twitter
Fake news about coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can discourage people from taking preventive measures (masks, social distancing), thereby increasing infections and deaths; thus, this study tests whether attributes of users or COVID-19 tweets can distinguish tweets of true news versus fake news. We analyzed 4,165 spell-checked English tweets with a link to 1 of 20 matched COVID-19 news stories (10 true and 10 fake), across the world during 1 y…
Burying the Karrer
Bioarchaeological research is built on a foundation of context and how social and historical considerations can aid us in better understanding the individual and society.

Established in 1713, the Fortress of Louisbourg was home to a mosaic of individuals during its 45-year history, including fi…
Adolescents in the United States can identify familiar foods at the time of consumption and when prompted with an image 14 h postprandial, but poorly estimate portions
Objective To evaluate adolescents’ abilities to identify foods and estimate the portion size of foods consumed in order to inform development of the mobile telephone food record (mpFR). Design Data were collected from two samples of adolescents (11–18 years). Adolescents in sample 1 participated in one lunch ( n 63) and fifty-five of the sixty-three adolescents (87 %) returned for breakfast the next morning. Sample 2 volunteers received all meals…
A Collaborative and Interdisciplinary Computer Animation Course
Animation has always required a close collaboration between artists and scientists, poets and engineers. Current trends in computer animation have made successful and effective teamwork a necessity. To address these issues, the authors have developed an interdisciplinary computer animation course for artists and scientists, in which student teams produce a professional animation that extends the capabilities of a commercial animation package. A k…
