I have just received an #Editor'sDecision about a ms I reviewed. The decision said that "based partly on [my] input" the ms was accepted. But my input was #Revision. What exactly do they mean?

Enjoyed talking to @psychscience.bsky.social about my group’s new(ish) paper for the Observer. I’ve talked about this on here at an earlier stage. In 4 studies, we found no evidence that asking young adults to cut back on their social media improves well-being. Small thread 🧵 follows:

For Young Adults, Limiting Social Media Use Doesn’t Improve Well-Being

One of the challenges when reading lit is not to study everything that looks relevant or interesting; how do you teach this skill to your (PhD) students, #AcademicSky?

Today only 7 students appeared (3 left after the break) at the #DevelopmentalPsych class. This could be disappointing for me; instead, it gave me the space to coordinate a very lively discussion reacing interesting conclusions about #IndividualTrajectories as opposed to #AverageDifferences!
