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" dw.com/en/moderate-kn…
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 👇 nature.com/articles/s4156… @MagSimal @fredericorfrCristina Mendonça Andre Mata
Super busy week! -27th, learning about medical disinfo w/ @IRIS_Academic -28th, discussing "Impact(s) of human, data, and algorithmic bias" @ JRC disinfo meeting -29th, "What should AI learn from Biology?" @dwp_movement summit -29th, find us @Neuro_CF for super @exploREsearchAT
New paper from the lab! For the 1st time it's not #openaccess but reach out for re-prints, or read view-only version here: nature.com/articles/s4156…. The fee money will go towards an internship for underprivileged researchers (details soon)

@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! socialcomplexity.eu/2023/04/20/spa…
@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 ;)
New pre-print! - How did the dynamics of non-influenza respiratory viruses change during the #COVID19 pandemic? - What were the effects of weather and mobility? - How should surveillance and monitoring systems integrate this information?
PRE-PRINT from @SpacLab What we call the "flu season" results from several different respiratory viruses including #influenza, #RSV, #corona...These mostly infect(ed) during the winter but the #COVID19 pandemic seriously disrupted their dynamics. How? 1/ medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
WE ARE HIRING! @CompSysSoc @netscisociety @YR_CSS
We are hiring! @SpacLab-@lip_pt is looking for a postdoctoral fellow to work on an @ERC_Research funded project Candidates should have: - PhD in #CS, #Math, #Physics, or related; - experience with #complexsystems, #networks, or #socialnetworkanalysis euraxess.pt/jobs/85833
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 @lip_pt @istecnico @mjoanasa #FactsMatter #DataScience
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 @lip_pt @istecnico @mjoanasa #EUvsDisinfo #FactsMatter #DataScience

He found that salience can vary greatly between fora raising interesting questions on current salience metrics. Is it enough to look at only one source? Great discussion with @ecozzo and Tiago Guerreio. Super proud of his work and brilliant grade and we wish you all the best!
Congratulations to @almeida_d_c for his MSc defense in #DataScience @fc_ul! With @mjoanasa + @CPesquita, David built a large dataset of news, tweets, online searches and looked at salience of different topics (science, politics, climate...) from year -1 to year 1 of #COVID19
It's today! É hoje! socialcomplexity.eu/pt/2022/11/11/… #epitwitter #PublicHealth #Viruses
É já amanhã. Precisamos de um novo sistema de monitorização e controlo de doenças respiratórias virais e vamos estar a discutir ideias. Todos os contributos são bem vindos, em pessoa, via zoom ou email. socialcomplexity.eu/pt/2022/11/11/…
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.
We have just been awarded an @ERC_Research #ERCPoC to help burst (dis)information bubbles @lip_pt Thread below to know more👇
@ERC_Research has just announced the new round of the #ERCPoC and @SpacLab was one of the awardees. @JoseM_Reis, @siri_zabele, @pddalm and others are trying to help burst the (dis)information bubble by auditing search engines and how they rank results lip.pt/?section=press… 1/4
