Twitter has for years offered access to its real-time stream of public tweets to tech companies and researchers that are willing to pay. The company noticed an uptick in data requests from the academic community last year and announced a so-called data grant program that will offer a handful of research teams access to its database. John Brownstein, associate professor of pediatrics at Boston Children’s Hospital, is mentioned. His team is one of six chosen for Twitter’s data grant pilot.
