Spent the last two days at #Etmaal2025 presenting our work in progress on countering AI-generated visual disinformation (w/@marinatulin.bsky.social, Michael Hameleers & @claesdevreese.bsky.social ). Loved connecting with old and new friends and was very impressed by the high level of presentations!👏

Great presentation on fact-checking and trust by BENEDMO colleagues Ferre Wouters, @michaelopgenhaffen.bsky.social and @bzar.bsky.social. And no, Zuckerberg is not right. Love it when *researchers add context* 😎

Yesterday I defended my dissertation @univie.ac.at with distinction 🌟 Thank you so much to my brilliant reviewers @anniewald.bsky.social and Cristian Vaccari, my amazing supervisors @solecheler.bsky.social and @jlegelhofer.bsky.social and my supportive team @polcomvienna.bsky.social! 🙏❤️

Delighted to share that our paper on what happens after deception through a deepfake is now published open access in IJPP 🥳
w/ @hannahgreber.bsky.social & Alina Nikolaou

I submitted my dissertation today 🎉 it doesn’t feel quite real yet, but I’m very relieved and also a bit proud ☺️

Excited to be spending the next two months with Jana Laura Egelhofer in Munich as a visiting researcher @msc_lab @ifkw_lmu 🙂🥳 looking forward to getting to know this department - please reach out if you’d like to connect!
