Melissa would like to personally thank all the amazing students and colleagues who have discussed this work with her and encouraged her throughout this process, especially Julia Burns Petrella and Yibo Wang. This has been one of the most meaningful, challenging, and personal projects I have worked on, and unfortunately it collided with a difficult time in my life. You would not be reading this without the support I received from my colleagues Karen Wickett, Elizabeth Wickes, Matt Turk, and Sara Benson. I want to thank the friends and family who have always been by my side: Tina “Shorty” Henderson, Nathan Ingersoll, and Adam Vandenbrink; my coparent Ava Briley, and my muse Sydney Lynn Briley. To my coeditor, friend, and fellow foodie, the always thoughtful, brilliant, and oh-so-stylish Madelyn Rose Sanfilippo, thank you for embarking on this project with me and keeping me afloat.
Madelyn would like to personally thank the many thoughtful people who gave feedback on this project, including: Jack Brighton, Pnina Fichman, Tomer Kenneth, Christopher Leug, Yafit Lev-Aretz, Michael Madison, Jodi Schneider, and Katherine J. Strandburg. Their commentary and participation in workshopping chapters helped build our everyday misinformation knowledge commons. I also want to thank my family for their support and patience during this project, especially Joseph and Rose Sanfilippo. Finally, to my wonderful coeditor, Melissa G. Ocepek, thank you for being a considerate and creative collaborator as we brought this project to life. So many brilliant people helped to make this book possible.
