Very excited to publicly share news about a new tool, Papercheck, that @debruine.bsky.social and me started to develop more than a year ago!

Can confirm that my NSF grant "How False Beliefs Form & How to Correct Them" was cancelled today because it is "not in alignment with current NSF priorities" Shocking that understanding how people are misled by false information is now a forbidden topic. Our work will continue but at a smaller scale

Let’s hope others follow suit.

“Evidence-based”is now a banned term for government websites

I am really pleased to see our meta-analysis of media literacy interventions (160 studies!) has been published in HCR. Unsurprisingly, there is a lot of nuance. One piece of good news is that the interventions work longitudinally. Free download here: academic.oup.com/hcr/advance-...

🚨Senatoren, doe het niet! Vandaag debatteert de Eerste Kamer over de desastreuze bezuinigingen op onderwijs en wetenschap. Bezuinigingen die iedereen zullen raken: van studenten tot onderzoekers, medewerkers, het bedrijfsleven en de samenleving als geheel. Doe het niet! 🟥
