Science Pulse

I’m responsible for developing the main infrastructure and the curation algorithms for Science Pulse’s web app, which was written in Shiny.

Science Pulse is a social listening platform, which monitors and curates content from scientists, professors, experts, and research institutions on social media (currently on Twitter and Facebook).

The app is open-source and its’ source code can be found at its’ GitHub repository.

The project is developed by Volt Data Lab, supported by the International Center for Journalists (ICFJ) and Agência Bori.

Using data collected on Science Pulse, I also produced these news stories for Núcleo Jornalismo:

• In the midst of chaos, Brazilian science flourishes on Twitter (with Alexandre Orrico), 11 mar. 2021;
• From snakes to funk: the shift on Instituto Butantan’s communication (with Laís Martins), 25 mar. 2021;
• Experts mobilizing on social media in favor of lockdown, 06 apr. 2021.
