Katharina Hajek just presented our paper on a typology of written reactance in Instagram comments in the environmental communication top papers session at #ica25! I'm kind of proud 😁

Busy with three talks this week: on how conspiracy theories evolve in far-right Telegram channels (quanti fun), on psychological reactance and climate change com using conversation analysis at #DGPUK2025, and sharing fresh results from our AI & science communication project. Exhausted but hyped 🤩

Hi, new followers! Here for conversation analysis? You got it! Think resistance to climate action, MCA on far-right content, the GDR, and yes…statistics😱 Still here? I just teamed up with Valentina Nachtigal on a science comms project, where I point at things excitedly, and she explains them to me.

Today, I had another favorite session in my #xenocommunication seminar 🤩 We read "A Desolation Called Peace" by @byzantienne.bsky.social and discussed the first contact depicted in it with much enthusiasm and seriousness, against the backdrop of current #xenolinguistic literature 👽

Just had an incredible moment in my #AcademicTeaching! 📚 I turned the #DarkForestTheory into a board game for my #xenocommunication seminar. Students played as civilizations discovering, communicating, or destroying each other 🛸 True to theory, most chose violence. Lesson learned: hiding wins.

A little dream has come true for me today ✨ Giving a talk on my own project at the very place where my love for communication studies began 15 years ago felt surreal; full circle 😁 thank you #dgpuk

I was given 60 minutes to give a short introduction to statistics for interaction researchers. Of course, I couldn't refuse 🤩 and travelled to Neuchâtel for a wonderful workshop on quantification in international linguistics. I could get used to 60 minutes 😉

It was so much fun today to revisit my 2016 data on prompting in theatre rehearsals as part of the exciting winter school in Innsbruck on performaces and staging in different contexts 🎭 In a few minutes we'll continue with discussions in the fireside lounge. Also: Snow! 🤩

I don't often read academic books in their entirety 😇 nor am I often hooked 😅 But this was a completely different reading experience. I was captivated from the first to the 227th page 🤩 Dear communication researchers and linguists, I implore you to read at least the chapter by Arik Kershenbaum 👽🐬💬

Today I surprised my students (communication studies!) with some printed material. Their task was to find out whether they were newspapers or magazines. Quite a few had never held a daily newspaper in their hands before 😁
