Senior Lecturer in Psychology

Last weekend I overheard a conversation between teenagers in our local bookshop. No one was buying anything, or even looking at books, but the bookshop has cozy window seats with a view over the city and teenagers are good at finding sociable spots where you don't have to buy anything. 1/n

New Guardian article links to “landmark study” on babies & screentime. URL goes to advocacy foundation that financed study. On their website I find a self hosted 110page “report” but no paper. Would love to understand if this is peer-reviewed, published research or advocacy piece.

So many of us love reading! But did you know it's actually good for our brains? 📖🧠 Falk Huettig's new book 'The Perks of Being a Bookworm' explores research in psychology, linguistics, neuroscience, and education to explain how reading transforms the human mind.

The display window of Cambridge University Press Bookshop features multiple copies of a book titled "The Perks of Being a Bookworm." A large central poster promotes a talk on this book, the window has the Cambridge University Press logo prominently visible above.

Please share this PhD opportunity with your colleagues, students, and recent graduates. This is an exciting opportunity to study the role of cognitive stimulation in supporting the developmental outcomes of children growing up in linguistically diverse families.
