Last week, we hosted the Etmaal conference in Bruges. An amazing teamwork experience, while also presenting my ongoing study on disinfo and trust, meeting new people and receiving an award on my bot literacy paper. Feeling grateful and want to thank everyone who made this conference so memorable! 🙌
