I wrote about a tree that probably wasn’t. My latest article, “Image Repair of Fake News: The Washington Elm in Cambridge, Massachusetts,” dives into how legends get defended long after they’re disproved. sites.dartmouth.edu/jcompton/202...

Today we release BAD VAXX-a new game that PREBUNKS misinfo about vaccines. Step into the shoes of "Ann McDotal" who loves to float scary anecdotes & "Dr Forge" the pseudosciensist. We find the game boosts people's ability to better *discern* information manipulation! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Dream course, dream students. Thank you @dartmouthartsci.bsky.social! #Stuttering #Stammering #CovertStuttering

SAVE THIS PDF 🚨 While it's still available, save a PDF of the CDC's adult vaccine schedule: www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp... It also has ALL the specifications and different types of contingencies (pregnancy, immunocompromised, etc.)!

I just want to take a moment to promote the #altgov accounts by sharing their starter pack. Follow them all go.bsky.app/FLUwv5d

On this day four years ago… #2020SnowStorm

Recommend...interesting read. Totally for different voices in collaborative dialogue 🔽

At this year’s NCA in New Orleans, I’m taking a short break from #InoculationTheory and presenting “Postal Sport Communication: Vintage Golf Postcards,” a rhetorical analysis of how early 20th-century postcards intersected with sport, tourism, and visual communication. #NCA2024 #SportComm #NCA24

At #NCA2024, I am presenting my study on the vintage postcard Life at Camp Dix, N.J. Inoculation, which takes a look at how vaccination was portrayed during a critical moment in public health history. A thread: #HealthComm #InoculationTheory

Looking forward to presenting at #NCA24 in New Orleans this week. I’ll be discussing the use of inoculation theory in early 20th-century vaccination rhetoric, focusing on the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company’s Health Heroes series. #InoculationTheory #NCA24 #NCA2024

I’ll be presenting “SHOTS” at #NCA24 in New Orleans this week, a look at W. Morgan’s WWII-era postcard as a unique example of 1940s health communication. A thread 🧵 #HealthComm #VisualRhetoric #Vaccination #InoculationTheory

Hey everybody! With NCA 2024 coming up this week, we thought that we would do a trial run using BlueSky to connect with folks this year. We'll also be using this page to share info about our panels and business meetings, and to signal boost announcements and other posts from around NCA!

Here‘s the start of a list of some researchers on Bluesky who are working with (or who have worked with) inoculation theory, a theory of resistance to influence built on a biological inoculation/vaccine analogy, with applications in mis/disinformation, politics, health… go.bsky.app/7E6pFc4

You know how Kentuckians last week rejected measure to allow public funds to be used for private schools? I had missed that the measure lost *in all 120 counties*. (nytimes.com/interactive/...)

📢New paper: We use AI to scale #prebunking of election fraud messages! Prebunking misinfo decreased belief in election rumours for Dems & Reps alike, effects persist after 1w. We estimate we can inoculate 2.8mil voters nationally. Help prebunk election misinfo now! arxiv.org/pdf/2410.19202

This Stuttering Awareness Day, we're proud to share that Rhetorics of Stuttering, a new course created by #Dartmouth speech professor @joshcompton.bsky.social, launches this winter and explores the relationship between voice, identity, and communication. #ISAD

I’m looking forward to teaching my new course, Rhetorics of Stuttering, at Dartmouth next term! nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...

Happy International Stuttering Awareness Day!

New starter pack filled with researchers and journalists studying our information environment, rumors, false information, how to correct misbeliefs, and ways to make it easier for people to find accurate information. I know I missed people so please let me know who else to add! go.bsky.app/T833yvS

Nervous and excited to have this profile out this week! And yes, truth can be stuttered! #stuttering #stammering #IStutter #CovertStuttering faculty.dartmouth.edu/artsandscien...

Today I shared “Inoculation Theory and Sport Communication” as part of a panel sponsored by the Sport Communication Division of NCA at #NCA2023. Check out this link to see some ways folks have applied #InoculationTheory to #SportCommunication! sites.dartmouth.edu/jcompton/202...

Fantastic new paper from Alicia Mason + @joshcompton.bsky.social & colleagues showing how psychological inoculation protects people against conspiracy theories EVEN among those already high on conspiratorial thinking! Great work 👏 www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1...

New paper: In this study--led by Alicia Mason at Pitt State--we found that #inoculationtheory - based messaging can protect against conspiracy theories, both prophylactically (preventative) and therapeutically (restorative). www.tandfonline.com/eprint/8VTKQ...

Grateful for the opportunity this morning to share some of my research on persuasion, postcards, and religious communication at the Religious Communication Association’s conference at the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church in Washington, DC. #RCA2023

Last weekend, my son, Trumie, and I completed the Flutie 5K Your Way to support autism awareness and acceptance. We chose to do our 5k up Mount Ascutney in Vermont. So much fun! #autismawareness #autismacceptance #Flutie5K

I'll be talking #InoculationTheory and #SportCommunication at the National Communication Association's annual conference next month. More info here: sites.dartmouth.edu/jcompton/202...
