Seeing that @Giaa_band will be playing in The Netherlands next year prompted me to reconnect my Spotify account to last.fm...It's such an amazing time capsule of a totally different time in my life where music was so central.

My article w/ Doug Parry, “Social media & youth mental health: Simple narratives produce biased interpretations,” is now available free online APA Journals Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science (formerly Journal of Abnormal Psychology) psycnet.apa.org/record/2025-19… 🧵 1/10

#ECREA2024 FOMO setting in, looks like some really interesting sessions - hope to join next time around (once I figure out the European Communication association/conference landscape)

This was an interesting exercise to experience. Take 30 papers and try your best to access the data, run the code, execute any commands, and make it work...recording what did/didn't work, what was/wasn't available, and how long it took.

After 15 months, all 18 stitches have been removed from my eyes!

👀 Potentially relevant opportunity for ICA_Mobile researchers

Presenting my final talk at Stellenbosch University in the same place that I gave my first 9 years ago 😢
