It was great to be part of this #ECSJ2026 panel, especially getting to share research by my MA students Wouter Van Houting & Lucas Verhoeven—not just my own.
Students do such important theses, but they never reach the journalists whose work they study.
Thands Lucas & Wouter for letting me share!
@stanvanpelt on fire in a panel on how to detect fraudulent studies. Paper mills, and a lot more at #ecsj #ECSJ2026
Meanwhile, next door is a breakout session about the Peer Review Crisis #ECSJ2026 #wissenswerte
The Forever Pollution Project and Forever Lobbying Project bring together scientists and journalists to study the scale of the PFAS problem. Journalists share their experience at #ECSJ2026 #wissenswerte
However, mass media has some things in common with populism! #ECSJ2026
In today’s keynote, Paula Diehl talks about populism and its effect on science and science journalism. #ECSJ2026

Later in the day we heard from Balkan journalists how they collaborate and report in their region. #ECSJ2026
Meanwhile, other #ECSJ2026 attendees were learning how they could use vibe coding for their data reporting. A very hands-on session!
Another breakout session yesterday focused on models of European science journalism. What would be the best model to support journalits in each country in reporting science news? #ECSJ2026
Before we start day 2, some more photos of yesterday’s #ECSJ2026 breakout sessions. First: Shared Seas, Shared Stories - a session about cross-border reporting
