On today’s RBDR: 1) Facebook announces what it says are significant internal changes to its research processes to ensure that problems like its recent emotional contagion study do not reoccur. 2) Twitter is partnering with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on a study of social media, a collaboration that will last five years and cost $10 million. 3) UK researchers claim their new study demonstrates that brain injury can result from simultaneous exposure to mobile phone, laptop and newspapers or magazines.
