Had a fun conversation w/ @ConorJDillon + Gabriel Borrud for #ScienceUnscripted podcast @dwnews
Starting from @SpacLab's recent paper, we discussed how much we should "dumb down" science to make it accessible and lowering the bar for saying "I don't know"

Are the least knowledgeable also unaware of it?
How does confidence vary with (scientific) knowledge?
After years of working on these questions @SpacLab, our results are out in @NatureHumBehav

@SpacLab had 3 abstracts accepted to @CompleNet and we’re looking forward to it. However, the students decided not to go when they realized it would fall on April 25th. I hope all attendees have a great time and the opportunity to learn about why we could not be there today.

We're #hiring an admin assistant @Spaclab!
Candidates do not need experience (only knowledge of PT and EN) as we'll offer training. The internship can turn into a work contract.
Also, the admin and scientific teams at @lip_pt are super nice!

@siri_zabele from @SpacLab is one of the lucky participants of #winscollabathon
Such a great initiative from @WiNS_Society and you couldn’t have made a better choice ;)

Do search engines on social media platforms spread low-credibility content? ERC-funded researchers @SpacLab are developing an audit tool in an effort to detect #disinformation in real time. 👉bit.ly/3QqFg3m

Who is more susceptible to disinformation? When? Why? If interested in our approach, you can now read this excellent short piece. Thank you @ERC_Research and Laura Bauer for such a clear highlight! @lip_pt @SpacLab
Why are some people more likely to share #disinformation?
Joana Gonçalves de Sá @SpacLab is disentangling personal traits of digital users and the workings of #socialmedia platforms. 👉bit.ly/3QqFg3m

Misinfo researchers, what do you see as the major controversies / points of disagreement within the field currently? Plz share widely to see what we come up with - thanks!

Past interaction on social networks influences our feed. Similarly, past searches influence results to future searches
But how does browsing history influence search engines to recommend #misinformation? @siri_zabele presenting work w/ @JoseM_Reis Victoria room @ccs2022 #ERC_PoC

2. Tomorrow @siri_zabele 4:30pm, Victoria on auditing search engines for fake news recommendations
3 and 4. Thursday’s Poster session with @Dr_Lil and @MesquitaSra on information spread on Twitter and learning from pandemics to inform seasonal nowcasting, respectively.

Tomorrow I'll be a giving a long due talk @exetercompsci. So long-due that I'll discuss disinformation from 2 perspectives: behavioral (revising the DKE) and structural, describing an ongoing experiment that uses bots to audit search-engines. Hope not to disappoint @diogofpacheco
Tomorrow, @mjoanasa (@SpacLab) will talk about the Dunning-Kruger effect in our CS Seminar series at @exetercompsci. You can join us live at 14:35 GMT youtube.com/watch?v=PxkVvbDZ…

A diversidade é importância, também na ciência. Dia 1 vou estar no @i3S_UPorto (mesmo) a partilhar a experiência @PGCD_IGC e a aprender sobre barreiras múltiplas #LGBTInSTEM #BlackInSTEM e até sobre ratos macho. @Mariana_RPAlves @animalogues @CristinaRoldao. Diz que há streaming.

Started working on this after the 2009 flu pandemic when the tension between the potential of #DigitalEpidemiology and #BigDataHubris was at its peak: searches for flu did not correlate w/ cases and #GoogleFluTrends had failed at tracking the outbreak 1/6 medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

US company, advised by many US and EU based scientists, tracked thousands of Brazilians including GPS, Bluetooth, health status AND home address. Most data provided by 3rd parties. Would be illegal or very unethical here so let's do it "there" and call it anonymous.

To contact trace, or not to contact trace, that is the question many governments are asking themselves at the moment
But will #contact_tracing really work in our battle against #COVID19?
Let me tell you why contact tracing efforts are bound to fail ...
