Very well deserved, Emily! A great project that will generate exciting results! Congrats again, I’m really happy for you!

Can confirm that my NSF grant "How False Beliefs Form & How to Correct Them" was cancelled today because it is "not in alignment with current NSF priorities" Shocking that understanding how people are misled by false information is now a forbidden topic. Our work will continue but at a smaller scale

I’m also honored to take on the role of Director of the Media Effects Research Group. Let’s get started! 🚀📚 I have two PhD positions available—if you're passionate about media effects and political communication, check them out, apply, and come work with us! www.fu-berlin.de/universitaet...

I will truly miss my former team and colleagues at RPTU in Landau, but I’m looking forward to collaborating with amazing new colleagues at the Department of Communication and diving into exciting research here in Berlin.

Exciting news! 🎉 Today marks my first day as Professor of Communication at the Free University of Berlin! @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social
