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.
