@kimverhoeven.bsky.social: Research on fact-checking is still too diverse in methods and variables, very hard to replicate. More systematic research needed! #Etmaal2025
Loving the OMA framework to understand the effects of exposure to fact-checking: opportunity, motivation and ability. And of course, in Dutch it implies that you should mostly tryst whatever your grand-mother tells you. #Etmaal2025 #badjoke
Belgian panel data suggests that exposure to fact-checking increases trust in professional news media, contradicting Mark Zuckerberg's bogus justification to defund fact-checking efforts at Meta social media platforms #Etmaal2025
It felt to me that measuring the reactions of citizens to uncertainty in science is as complicated to pin down as Schrödinger's cat... and presenters showed a strong will to tackle it despite that!
The #scicomm division session on uncertainty in research at #Etmaal2025 brough together a nice mix of approaches. 2 representative panel surveys on quantum and visualization of data, 1 experiment on intonation and non-verbal comm, 1 systematic lit review on the concept of "deficit model"...
Coconut milk had to be... Nice vegetarian dinner after meat nirvana in Bucarest 😅
