[en] Impact of social media on #democratic #discourse

A somewhat simple primer on "What is disinformation and how does the spread of disinformation affect #liberal #democracies worldwide?"

"This conventional understanding of disinformation is often tied to #platforms and #algorithms. ... But this definition seems to overlook the kind of #disinformation we now frequently see—namely that of political elites."

New events announced: goettingen-campus.de/postdoc-e

Organised for researchers across Göttingen and everyone welcome. Postdoc Social on Thurs 10 July. Join researchers for a Walk&Talk on 25 July and check out the #ScienceCommunication club meet-ups.

#Interdisciplinary #GetOutOfTheLab #StrongerTogether

If you are a postdoc, get with the #GCPostdocNetwork: goettingen-campus.de/postdoc. We are already planning Göttingen’s #PostdocFair2026 on 12 March 2026

Poster raising awareness of events for postdocs in Göttingen. Text is similar to text of post but it includes a QR code in addition to the website. It also shows images of postdocs interacting at events.  LInh Dang led the walks and is shown with a yellow umbrella (bottom right) and leading a walk (middle left).  Thanks to Frank Wang https://fwphys.com/ for the images showing postdocs interacting on a walk in Göttingen along Göttingen's Wall

🤩 It's #QuantenDienstag again, so it's time for another question we received via the #Quantenpost from our "Light and Matter” exhibition at the Deutsches Museum.

📮 At the Quantenpost station, museum visitors write down their questions – and the MCQST community answers.

➡️ Read the Quantenpost: mcqst.de/quantenpost/

🌪️ ☀️ Storms & Radiation began with a major challenge: the energy budget in our climate models was out of balance. Has that problem been solved?

✅ Yes! In recent model development cycles, researchers identified and fixed the energy leaks. However, there’s more progress to highlight:

☁️ Thanks to higher-resolution models, we can now simulate #clouds more realistically. This has revealed that convective cloud organization plays a significant role in the Earth’s energy budget.
🌬️ An aerosol and dust scheme has been integrated into one of the models, enabling us to study climate effects from pre-industrial times to the present.
🌧️ Studies of extreme precipitation confirm that such events increase by 7% per degree of warming, in line with theoretical predictions.
🔬 Increasing model resolution brings simulations closer to physical theory.

These findings enhance our understanding of the Earth system and improve the reliability of #ClimateModels for future planning.

Ich lasse mich in #ScienceCommunication aufschlauen, damit ich in Zukunft besser mit Online-Trollen umgehen kann und die Projektleitung in Krisen besser unterstützen kann.

Please don't misunderstand me: I'm not saying that this is something we shouldn't do. I think it's something we have to do.

But I think the people who do need to prepare themselves for a new onslaught of weaponized stupidity.

The link above mentions how science was done more publicly during COVID. I'm sure the editors meant something different, but the entire US scientific community is being destroyed right now because of what happened then.

🚨 Video alert! Our latest multimedia piece is out and we are excited to share it with you ▶️

🔎 What is this video about?: The visualizations in this video provide a colorful and creative representation of our modelling endeavors. Additionally, the captivating images demonstrate the playful fluctuations of various components of our Earth system, including clouds, aerosols, thermal radiation, and temperature, over the course of the present and future years — specifically between 2021 and 2030.

📽️ Video creation: This illustrative work has been produced with the Earth System models used by #nextGEMS: ICON and IFS-FESOM. #ICON is a model was developed by the @MPI_Meteo and the German Climate Computing Center, while hashtag#IFS-FESOM developed by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts.

🌐 Don't miss out on this visual #ClimateModelling venture! Watch out video here: nextgems-h2020.eu/media-librar 🎦

Scientists who share failures on social media are seen as more honest, open, and relatable, boosting public trust and support for science—even without harming perceptions of competence according to U-Michigan research. 🧑‍🔬📉💬🤝

How do I maintain my patience when an old friend has lost touch of reality to the extent his (maybe?) earnest questions annoy the shit out of me?

Dude used ChatGPT to send me a WaPo article which attempts to calm the "climate alarmist" (quotes mine, not the article's) because climate has always been changing. Here is the link (I can't read the article, nor even see who wrote it, because I am not a subscriber, but I can see the graphic):

Found this large sheet I used to sketch the core of my soon-to-be-published @TATuP article – quotes, arguments, questions, arrows everywhere.

Not the clean outline of a finished text, but a messy map of thinking-in-progress.

How do you develop your texts? Sketches, lists, voice notes?
