Happy to be part of this exciting symposium. I will present my paper “Investigating the effect of issue salience on disinformation in EU policy making” tomorrow in the panel “exploring new data in crisis early warning”

@edmo-eu.bsky.social Hi there! I’ve been reaching out by email for a few weeks regarding a research data access question but haven’t received a reply. Could you point me to the right person or channel to help with research data accessibility?

Kognitive Kriegsführung Kriegsfeld Gehirn: Wie Russland und China unsere Wahrnehmung angreifen.

Ich habe mit The Pioneer über #CognitiveWarfare geredet. Herausgekommen ist ein vernünftiger Text zum Konzept. Auf politischer Ebene über ein derart großes Defensivkonzept zu reden ist aber weiterhin schwierig.

Every now again it’s useful to repeat advice about accessing papers that are behind a paywall that excludes you. Email the author. My estimate is that 90% of academics are so thrilled that a living, breathing, possibly even reading, person shows interest that they will swiftly send you a copy.

Currently in FirstView: “Synthetically generated text for supervised text analysis.” @ahalterman.bsky.social proposes using LLMs to generate synthetic training data for training smaller, traditional supervised text models.

A short article of mine on civil-military relations and democratic backsliding had been accepted for publication in the journal "Connections".

Then I received an email that the editors can't publish the paper unless I "remove the case study/examples of the United States" (1/x)

K2-18b ist ein Exoplanet in der habitablen Zone eines roten Zwergsterns – mit möglichem Wasser, Methan und sogar Dimethylsulfid in der Atmosphäre. Er ist nur 124 Lichtjahre entfernt.

This case shows that, democratic checks still work.
My article shows why this issue is important and how the underlying tactic works:

📄 The full court order here:
🔗 storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The White House claimed “Gulf of America” was a fact, and that AP’s refusal to use it meant they weren't reporting facts.
But the judge disagreed, calling it a viewpoint, not a fact—meaning the gov’t can’t use differences in viewpoint it to deny press access.

🧵/2 In AP v. Budowich, the court ruled that the White House violated the First Amendment by excluding the AP from press events over editorial choices.
At issue: AP will continue to use the established term "Gulf of Mexico" and refuses to use the term “Gulf of America.”

🧵/1Just wrote about the #GulfofAmerica controversy and how the Trump administration tries to change rules of communication to shut out free press like the @AP, who do not comply with the new rules - with new court developments, it's time to follow up. 👇
