Research summary

This bibliographic record appears to blend at least two distinct research identities: one focused on political misperceptions, misinformation, and social media's role in political polarization, and another involving X-ray techniques, nuclear physics, and radiation therapy for cancer treatment. Given the mismatch between the listed physics/astronomy topics and the actual publication titles (mostly about political communication and misinformation), this profile likely reflects name ambiguity across multiple researchers sharing the name 'R. Garrett.' Prospective students should verify which specific research area and institutional affiliation matches their interests before reaching out.

Publication output has fluctuated over the last decade without a clear steady growth or decline pattern, with a notable peak in 2019 (13 publications) and 2023 (10 publications) but lower counts in surrounding years.
