Working with Twitter Data - Joe Allen

Twitter has recently been a fantastic source of data. Never before has an individual been able to so trivially access historic opinions and watch them develop over time.

In this talk Joe will cover:
• Why social media data is useful
• Why Twitter is a great data source
• Data collection from Twitter

There will be some programming in Python, but beyond this, he will offer some alternatives to attendees who don't know Python.

Joe is an organiser of PyDataMCR and is a Research Associate for the UK Data Service. He'll also be giving this talk later in the month at the 2021 Research Methods e-Festival (https://www.ncrm.ac.uk/RMeF2021/programme.php)
