As COVID-19 cases continue to increase, it's important to know accurate information about COVID-19 in order to protect yourself and others! Get the facts about common myths, and take steps to protect yourself and others.

Every time someone tries to tell me that generative AI use for students is just like calculators entering the classroom, I really want to point them to articles like this one.

After attending about a dozen webinars on AI in teaching and research this semester (some good, many lackluster), I really enjoyed this book. It offered a nuanced discussion of a few key AI technologies that helped me better evaluate them as possible tools for specific tasks. HOWEVER...

Cover of the book AI Snake Oil: What artificial intelligence can do, what it can't, and how to tell the difference by Arvind Narayanan and Sayash Kapoor

It would be great if Google Chrome did not ask my students if they want to cheat (oh sorry, offer "homework help" that's just an AI answer to any highlighted question) on every single page of my Canvas site.

#ICA25 was a great opportunity to attend some excellent panels, see old friends, and meet up with new collaborators for the first time in person. Also honored to receive the Environmental Comm Division's biannual dissertation award!

#ICA25 is off to a good start! Yesterday I had the opportunity to present my work with @nicholasejh.bsky.social and Sihao Zhou reviewing activism measures in communication and mass media scholarship. Thanks to the pre-conference organizers for putting together a great day.

One highlight this week was taking part in the @prairieresearch.bsky.social Insight to Impact series. I had a great time sharing tips on effective communication strategies in climate solutions messaging. And the attendees had some great questions!

Winter break has featured some course prep and writing, but also lots of baking, reading, painting, and snowy walks. Feeling ready(ish) for the spring semester.

I get the spirit behind the "happy holidays!" emails. But truly the best holiday gift these univerisities and conference organizations can give us is fewer emails to clear out of our inboxes when we get back from break.

My first semester as Dr. Troy is complete! Taught a lot on distilling complex environmental topics for a general audience, found a good rhythm of teaching and research, met new colleagues across campus, made progress in my quest to find the best almond croissants and seasonal lattes in town.

Bluesky has been such a nice platform to connect with colleagues outside of Twitter. But an unexpected joy has been finding some of my favorite fiction authors here! Between the recommendations they post and their new books coming out, my 2025 to-read list is getting pretty long.

In light of recent conversations I'm seeing about echo chambers and preaching to the choir- there are times where it's desirable for content to be shared in like minded circles, and other times where attaining broader awareness is needed! Check out our work on choice exposure to disparity messages

Health comm folks have studied responses to messages about health disparities. But do people actually tune into these messages in the first place? Our new study suggests these messages may be preaching to the choir. Check it out, led by @clctroy.bsky.social! www.tandfonline.com/eprint/VUY2D...
