Guest: Munmun DeChoudhury, Professor, School of Interactive Computing, Georgia Tech University This has been a really rough year. It’s probably safe to say that a lot of people aren’t doing great.

You can learn a lot about a person based on what they write on social media, and that information could be used in efforts to prepare for how future pandemics will affect mental health.
