Superb day at @lilacconf.bsky.social
Really happy with how my presentation, Introducing the TRYangle Approach, went. Very grateful to everyone who came to listen and especially to those who asked questions, spoke to me afterwards and caught up with me throughout the day.

As someone who loves methods chat, I’m really enjoying considering how speculative thinking can be used for information literacy research in @cocolibrarian.bsky.social and @heatherlincoln.bsky.social ‘s workshop! #lilac26

PhD wise I’m going to link the stat about people regretting following health info from influencers into my presentation this afternoon. My PhD work looks at how people experience fitness and exercise info on social media through the study of runners. Excited to share my findings #lilac26
What about when medical providers create mis and disinformation? (Or governments) #lilac26
The parts of this keynote at #lilac26 about online health misinformation are fascinating both for my PhD and also personally. I take a medication that has entire Facebook groups dedicated to how evil it is. I like to think I’m incredibly literate yet I got sucked in to the misinformation
Aligning with lived experience is a great shout but how do standardised tests of health literacy access that? I don’t see much health IL research exploring said lived experience yet #lilac26
There’s a really great critique of evidence based language for information literacy. Does anyone have it? #lilac26
