September Buzz: New Papers from our Scholars

Date
September 26, 2025
Topics
Sciences (Social, Health, Biological, Physical)

We’re excited to share some wonderful news from our community. Congratulations to our SDS Scholar, Lijin Zhang, on the publication of two new research papers, and Anna Thomas, for her paper that was selected for the cover of the September 2025 issue of Nature Food, and was also presented at the 2024 American Causal Inference Conference! Also, congrats to Ross Dahlke, SDS alum and Assistant Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Journalism and Mass Communication.

Their work continues to push the boundaries of data science methodology and its applications, and we’re proud to celebrate these latest contributions:

Lijin Zhang

  • A Beta Mixture Model for Careless Respondent Detection in Visual Analogue Scale Data 

  • Bayesian factor mixture modeling with response time for detecting careless respondents [subscription required to read the full paper]

Anna Thomas

  • Documentary films can increase public interest in plant-based diets in the USA [subscription required to read the full paper]

  • Preprint version with full access

Ross Dahlke

  • Untrustworthy Website Exposure and Election Beliefs: Selective Exposure and Ideological Asymmetry; Journal of Online Trust and Safety

Congratulations again to Lijin, Anna, and Ross on these important achievements! Their work will continue to make an impact in the field of data science and beyond.
