🧑‍🎓Top Student Paper Award (4/4) Daniel Wiesner — Who Refers to Science? Understanding the Salience of Scientific Evidence in Parliamentary Debates

Daniel Wiesner @danielwiesner.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

It was great to attend the Day of Parliamentary Research at the 🇦🇹 Parliament and share ongoing work on science and expertise in parliamentary debate: 1. Who refers to science, when, and in what contexts? 2. How do politicians draw on expertise, evidence, and knowledge in debate? @parlament.gv.at

Digitale Abstimmungen im Parlament? Ja, kann man machen - aber den großen Erkenntnisgewinn, den sich die Initiatoren erhoffen, sehe ich nicht. Es gäbe aber schon Dinge, die man tun könnte ... #thread www.derstandard.at/story/300000...

Ein Volksbegehren will digitale Abstimmungen im Parlament – warum gibt es sie noch nicht?

Die "Hardware" im Hohen Haus ist schon vorhanden. Dennoch wird noch immer geschaut, wer steht und wer sitzt. ÖVP und SPÖ finden das nicht schlecht

They are wearing glasses, a dark long-sleeve shirt, light-colored pants, and a conference lanyard. The certificate shows the name Daniel Wiesner and references a paper about scientific evidence in parliamentary debates.

Bei meinen zwei heutigen Vorträgen auf der #KWT26 @oegk.bsky.social ging es um Vertrauen. Einerseits darum, ob die wahrgenommene Legitimität des #VfGH durch Kommunikation gestärkt werden kann, und andererseits darum, was wissenschaftsbezogene politische Botschaften eigentlich vertrauenswürdig macht.

Ich stehe in einem Seminarraum neben meiner Präsentationsfolie „Trust Me, I Cite Science“ zu wissenschaftsbezogener politischer Kommunikation.

Ich präsentiere eine Forschungsfrage zur Vertrauenswürdigkeit wissenschaftsbezogener politischer Botschaften und ihrer Kommunikator:innen.

Ich präsentiere meine Forschungsfrage dazu, ob der VfGH populistische Skepsis mit kommunikativen Interventionen abfedern kann. Ich gestikuliere während meines Vortrags zur Legitimität nicht-majoritärer Institutionen.

Ich stehe vor der Abschlussfolie meiner Präsentation mit dem Wort „Danke!“. Rechts ist ein Foto von mir mit Zeitung eingeblendet.

Misinformation research has a causality problem: lab experiments are limited; observational studies confounded. We used causal inference on 9.9M tweets, quantifying effects in the wild while blocking backdoor paths. Does misinfo get higher engagement? Are following discussions more emotional? 🧵
