While this research is important and this blog post a good read (imo), the real hero here is the funding that supported the work in the first place. Props to @infantstudies.bsky.social for helping to highlight the work!

Being a good scientist means being able to look at a complex system & make sense of it, without buffing it so smooth you lose truth. Complex systems are confusing. The data is sometimes messy. Over-simplifying by putting things in boxes (or- ahem- binaries) is doing a bad job of understanding it.

1/8. This week I had a few different conversations with scholars who, in the face of the attacks on science and institutions of learning in the U.S., are wondering what to do. One suggestion I have is: keep doing your work. It matters in and of itself. Why do I say that? A few reasons.

What's the best way to introduce yourself to Bsky? Sharing a fav, new paper! doi.org/10.1016/j.ti... Children's media use is rising, leading to concerns it impacts their language development. I argue that instead of focusing on "how much" screen time kids have, we should "how" it is being used.
