A Data Carpentry style 5 hour workshop on harvesting and analyzing Twitter data using the public API and Documenting the Now's Twarc package. The lesson makes a very natural add-on and reinforcement to BASH and Intro to Python.
twarc is a tool created by Documenting the Now, born of the civil unrest following the murder of Michael Brown by police in 2014.
