Thrilled to share that I’ve received the ERC Starting Grant! 🥳I’m excited to develop this research program focused on understanding youth’s susceptibility to disinformation and misinformation. The project is even featured on the ERC website! Interested? We’ll be hiring soon!
Teenagers spend a lot of time online and often use platforms as a primary source of information.
Yet little is known about their susceptibility to #disinformation.
@_Ili_Ma's research aims to fill this gap, plus educate adolescents.

Youth are increasingly losing confidence in democracy. About one third would prefer a dictatorship.
In light of the upcoming elections, does the EU even have a future? nos.nl/nieuwsuur/artikel/252…

"Behind the paper" is a great series by @NaturePortfolio. Here, I'm I trying to tell the honest story of the lab's recent paper on planning (with @basvanopheusden, @Ikuperwajs, Gianni Galbiati, @zahybnaya, and Yunqi Li).
