New paper out in Science Advances @science.org! News organizations shape public understanding through the choices they make about what to cover and how to cover it. How can we measure these differences across publishers systematically and at scale? We present the Media Bias Detector!

I'm thrilled to share that I defended my PhD at @upenn.edu! I've had the time of my life working with my amazing advisors and all the wonderful people at @csspenn.bsky.social over the past several years. Incredibly grateful for the journey and everyone who made it so special!
