Really happy to see Claire Essex’s brilliant work on the immediate cognitive effects of kid’s TV published after a long journey during her PhD. Watch this space for her continued work on this in our @ukri.org funded #animatingminds project 🧠🎞️👶

David Lynch challenged everything I thought I knew about cinema. The juxtaposition of beauty/horror, mundane/surreal, profound/silly is an increasingly brilliant representation of life as I get older. “The sky is sure full of stars tonight.” 📽️💔 youtu.be/aCzAetSFRC8?...
