I got an email yesterday afternoon that my NSF SPRF Postdoctoral Fellowship was terminated. My grant focused on testing interventions to address online misinformation and I was 8 months into a two year appointment.
Friday Night Massacre of accurate information.

A devastating day for the USA as tens of millions of dollars of grants seeking to combat the spread of false information were terminated. We have a federal govenrment that does not consider the verifiable truth a priority. www.nsf.gov/updates-on-p...

Når vi taler om techgiganter, så taler vi meget om afhængighed. Om unges afhængighed, om infinity scrolling osv.

Men den vigtigste afhængighed er den, som Merkel påpeger her: At vi som samfund er dybt afhængige af techgiganternes infrastruktur.

Den skal vi tale mere om. For den handler om magt.
