Sounds good. Will email you after my vacation.

That would be a big improvement...

Yes, that was also my understanding. For the life of me I don't understand why this kind of content (public posts) has to be this enclaved.

I mean the VDE and hellish describes it really well. I would love to share a screenshot but ofc that's illegal....

Congratulations! 🥳

Last week, A-K. Watolla, @cbpuschmann.bsky.social & P. Zerrer presented "The Societal Impact of Systemic Risks" to @ec.europa.eu & Digital Services Coordinators. It shows how #disinformation spreads, affects #democracy & reveals #research gaps.

Why do people search for individual politicians? Because they (don't) like them. In a new paper we find sympathy/antipathy to be important predictors of political information seeking. We also find searches for female politicians more often concerned with appearance & family. doi.org/10.1177/1461...

I will once again teach web scraping and data management at ESS this year! The course is a deep dive into everything I know about getting data from the web and how to keep your data clean and organized for analysis.

Thanks for the shout, Ross. We found that looking at the relationship of news values and (perceived) misinformation is (in our view) really interesting and that computational methods can play a vital part in measuring the expression of news values. And non-WEIRD media envs should be studied more.
