Super excited to share that I got the ERC Starting Grant! 🎉

Over the next five years, I’ll be studying how AI is reshaping the politics of the welfare state.

A huge thank you to all the friends and colleagues who supported me along the way.

The economy, technology, geopolitics—everything seems to change

It's more than a vibe shift. It's epistemic.

Misinformation isn't random - it's strategic. 🧵

In the first cross-national comparative study, we examine 32M tweets from politicians.

We find that misinformation is not a general condition: it is driven by populist radical right parties.

Many feel that politics globally has become toxic and hostile over recent years.

But is this actually the case? And if so, who's to blame? What issues are driving toxicity?

We analyze 18M tweets from politicians in 17 countries to find out!
