A long (very) long time ago, I started my academic journey as a student assistant in the lab of Gary Bente - back then, an environment where people studied intercultural communication, nonverbal communication, and basic virtual agents such as "Karl Klammer" -

Very often we study misinformation through analogies: Seeing it as virus ( #infodemic), a weapon ( #informationWarfare), or a toxin ( #informationPollution). We did an extensive mapping of these analogies mileages & baggage showing what complexities they sytematically overlook

We provide a new framework arguing that misinfo is complex: If we want to understand it, we need to account for prototypical actors and their interaction on the individual micro, social, and digital meso, and the country macro-level actors - as well as cross-level influences & feedback loops.

The real heroes of academia are often people that are less often in the spotlight- such as @ddc-sdu.bsky.social finance magician Bettina - very glad that she could join the retreat and see all the project results that her work makes possible 😀
