So excited for another round of the ICA hackathon!! I highly recommend it for early career scholars going to ICA. It's a great way to meet new conference buddies before the main conference and learn more about computational methods 👩‍💻

Every strong team needs time to pause, reset, and grow together. #TeamRetreat #DientenAmHochkönig

Second, with a large team of authors, led by @anniewald.bsky.social, we study which (personal, temporal, spatial, affordance-based) properties of incidences of extrajudicial police killings facilitate public attention on social media.

So the UN Global Risks Report is out... & it lists Mis- and Disinformation as the biggest risk we face. unglobalriskreport.org Listen... I'm a mis- and Disinformation kinda guy, meaning I worry about this professionally. But there is no way this issue should be all the way up there! Plus...

FINALLY 😌 The Delegated Act is here. The Act clarifies rules for data access under the Digital Services Act #DSA #dataaccess #research #eusky #commsky #polisky #csssky digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/library/d...

The danger isn’t just that people believe lies. It’s that entire communities become locked into belief systems that can’t be challenged, where loyalty replaces evidence, and disagreement feels like betrayal. That doesn’t just distort truth, it breaks trust.

@ipk-univie.bsky.social is wrapping up #ica25 in Denver! From awards to withdrawn presentations, we‘ve had it all this year. Sending warm greetings & thoughts to all colleagues who could not participate 🫶✨

You want to study German covid-19 protests? @maxzehring.bsky.social, @hdschulze.bsky.social and @buehling.bsky.social got you covered with their dataset! #ica25

Welcome to the ICA conference!
