Happy to present my PhD research at #CADS2026 today. A few years ago, I was sitting in the audience taking notes. Today, I had the chance to stand at the front and share my own research. Feeling grateful for how far this journey has taken me.

On a vanishingly small chance you haven’t heard about it from me during CADS (sorry not sorry), we’re @sofiaruediger.bsky.social @domini.bsky.social doing a conf about persuasive language in Tampere this November and the CFP ends on July 1 and you should all come! events.tuni.fi/persuasion20...

What a fantastic conference this has been #CADS2026. Bonus achievement: it's the first conference I've ever managed to attend from start to finish, so my review is now officially valid. 😄 Conference-organizing wizardry, @gavinbrookes.bsky.social!

A good day at #CADS2026. Presented my work on Tech CEO discourse on YouTube and received some very helpful questions and feedback. Also great to see my book on display among the conference publications. A nice moment after a long research journey.
