[LOGOS] LOGOS website & event

[Jana Grittersova]

  Dear Emiliano,

Thank you very much for all your efforts in developing this webpage. I have
a small suggestion: if the goal is to attract new participants or increase
visibility, it may be helpful to include a brief closing line such as:
• “Faculty and students interested in participating are welcome to contact
us at [email].”
• “Follow our upcoming events here.”

Additionally, do we want to clarify that information itself is not
inherently harmful? Information can empower societal actors, strengthen
democratic engagement, and support better policymaking. It becomes
“weaponized” only within some environments or when used intentionally by
malicious actors.

As for a potential keynote speaker, I would suggest *Matthew Gentzkow
(Stanford, Economics): *media, political polarization, and the economics of
information.

All the best,
Jana
