Job alert!! We're looking for a Postdoc and two RAs on a 3-year project examining the effects of smartphones on sleep and mental health in adolescents. Details below: RA: tinyurl.com/7h6zrz2k Postdoc: tinyurl.com/ykmsk757 Please repost :)

Check out our new paper! We evaluate what we know (and don't know) about the link between memory consolidation during sleep and next-day learning 👇
