Congratulations to ADDL Ph.D. student, Dr. Shayna Soares, on her graduation! In October, Shayna defended her dissertation entitled “Exploring Fake News Detection: Unpacking Polarization, Ambiguity, and Neural Mechanisms Associated”.
This project combined fake news, uncertain decision-making, and neuroimaging (fNIRS) to better understand how people make decisions under uncertainty and the associated neural mechanisms using real-world stimuli.
Following graduation, Shayna has accepted a role with ADDL as a postdoc on the Reducing Misinformation and Exploitation Study funded by the FDOH.
