My #ica25 dinner tonight was this fantastic ice cream with @abbysimmerman.bsky.social and a glass of red wine with @msaradinlebedikova.bsky.social at the SECAC reception. Ngl, loved both.

Walking into the stunning Red Rocks Amphitheatre, it really hit me and I shed some happy tears.

What an honor and a privilege to be here at #ICA25, doing what I love, presenting my research, seeing and meeting people I admire, and visiting this place I, as a music lover, absolutely adore.

I also forgot to ask for the classic photo of me presenting because I was a bit nervous, but here is a picture of a cute bunny I met earlier today at the DU campus.

People might think you need computational power to handle data, but in reality, all you need is a silly little drink.

Thanks @j-maria.bsky.social!🍹

I just wanted to let you all know that the council has decided on the best mentor and co-author (it’s me, I am the council) because who else prepares such a cool surprise celebration of a new publication?
Thank you so much, @macicak.bsky.social! 🤍

And here is the fun part!

One of the key findings was the interplay between trust in politicians and journalists. People who trust journalists think less conspiratively, even when they distrust politicians.

And finally, a little personal goodbye from Old Main, my favorite companion on the walks to the grad office – along with squirrels and bunnies!

My Fulbright experience with @bellisariograded.bsky.social ends in two weeks, but I still enjoy every second here.

For example, this morning, I attended this great and mindblowing public lecture by @saschameinrath.bsky.social, which was packed with both information & fun film references.

My morning gaming session was on point today.
(Although whether robots are the future is up for discussion.)

Unlike you, I got my news from a reliable source.

This is how trying to use my brain and working again after the break feels like:
