Spill the tea: A data-driven look at gossip
Everyone loves a good story... especially when it's about someone else. From celebrity scandals and viral rumors to everyday workplace whispers, gossip is everywhere. But how does it spread? Why do we do it? And who ends up at the centre of the conversation? Join us as we spill the tea on gossip through the lens of data, exploring trends, networks, and the surprisingly fascinating numbers behind one of humanity's oldest pastimes. Pour yourself a cup and join the conversation. There's plenty of tea to go around.
