A professional highlight! Last Friday Lotte Hallez defended her PhD thesis. The thesis is impressive and the defense was excellent, so as a supervisor I like to bask a bit in reflected glory. Want to know more about the research? 👉 linkedin.com/in/lottehallez/

Venue is called the 'lecture hall of the 2nd law of thermodynamics'. Seems suitable. The gambling within the gaming media ecosystem is not going to properly be organized on itself. Just like the law suggests, outside energy is needed for this

Emotion shapes our thoughts and decisions more than logic.

For some reason a couple of my #marcom students responded to a question on #shrinkflation referring to the concept as "shrimpflation". #gradingfun that feels as if I'm on a subreddit

🤳New EU 'sweep' of influencers shows the vast majority (80%) fail to declare their commercial content as advertising.
🍟🍷Worryingly, over a third of #influencers are promoting unhealthy or hazardous activities, including junk food and alcoholic beverages

Few influencers disclose their advertising activities as required under EU consumer law.
