Psychologist @cecilietraberg.bsky.social describes the power of storytelling in science communication and education. If you want people to remember scientific ideas or boost their media literacy, you can’t just present data, you need to make them feel the story behind it.

Sharing this feels vulnerable but meaningful. 💛 In this piece for @natureportfolio.bsky.social, I reflect on having 3 children during my PhD - why I’d do it all over again, but also why academia shouldn’t make it this hard for parents to thrive.🍼🎓 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Og vi er påvirkelige "Hvis jeg tror, at mange andre mener noget, øges sandsynligheden for, at jeg selv accepterer det. Det gælder både misinformation og sand information. Det gælder også ekstreme holdninger, normative forventninger og politiske positioner."

Spændende indlæg af @cecilietraberg.bsky.social om manipulationens muligheder via platformene - prisen på manipulation er faldet pga. teknologisk fremskridt. Til gengæld stiger prisen ifbm. valg pga. stigende efterspørgsel efter falske påvirkningsagenter. #dkpol #dkmedier #dksome

🧠 As a psychologist specialising in misinformation and influence, I was grateful for the opportunity to share perspectives on how influence can occur through information - shaped by social influence, persuasion, and cognitive processes.

💻 By fostering a clear, consensus-driven understanding of what constitutes a "narrative" - and how these may influence us - it aims to empower AI systems to detect complex patterns, such as malign state influence, while avoiding reliance on opaque "black box" systems.

In a new paper in Nature Medicine we argue that polarization is a serious—and overlooked—determinant of health. #Polarization is analogous to a preexisting medical condition because it creates a population susceptible to negative influences. Read the paper here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
