From Princeton to London via Chicago: My Summer Institute in Computational Social Science journey
Continuing our series on the Summer Insitute in Computational Social Science, Joshua Becker traces his SICSS journey.
Before I get into this, you should know I’m a network researcher. So even though this is ostensibly about a summer program, it’s also about networking. I almost didn’t participate in the Summer Institute in Computational Social Science, or SICSS as I now know it fondly. At the time, I thought it was just about learning the skills — and I felt I had a solid methods foundation — and mainly just applied because it seemed like the kind of thing I was supposed to do as a grad student. Having never previously seen the gorgeous Princeton campus, I imagined the trip itself as little more than spending two weeks in suburban New Jersey rather than at home with my wife. Luckily, I applied. And luckily, I was accepted. Mileage may vary, but I made out well on the deal.

These are helping communicate around the complex problems we’re all facing and how to use social science research to tackle these.
