One intesting takeaway: Only a tiny number of super-users are swamping social media with disinformation in a broadly concerted way. We need to develop better, broader alliances to counter-effect those and uncover the mostly monetary(+power) motives driving this deliberate division #EASE2025 #unite

The publication of Science used to be based on trust, but we can no longer afford this.

Let’s give the blue app a try! I hope to see most of my X-friends here again to discuss Evaluation (how to make it more fair and inclusive), Disinformation (how to prevent it) and Bibliometrics (anything new and innovative)
