Season 2 of our MSPS podcast is now available! While I personally find it disconcerting to listen to people on podcasts who I know (and speak to regularly), there is lots of great research to engage with #psychtalks

What we know about the teenage brain is expanding rapidly, and what we are finding out could drastically change the way schools look at behaviour, mobile phones, curriculum, mental health and more.

A huge congrats to Shivam Kalhan, supervised by @MartaIGarrido @HesterRob on submitting his PhD thesis! He discovered that aspects of learning and decision-making, such as the anterior cingulate cortex and dopaminergic systems, are gone awry in people with substance use disorder.

Still concerned? I’m at the primary school stretch. Broken over the lower lying paths around the gardens and bubbling up through man holes on Plumridge St. Bridge has been closed all afternoon. Photo from 7pm.

One of the most unsettling concerns about recommender systems is that they might be changing us in ways we don't fully understand. @jonathanstray, @acookiecrumbles and I wrote a piece teasing apart the relevant ideas.

Thank you Dana, Lorelle and colleagues for this elegant and important explanation for a question I’m asked constantly. There doesn’t need to be a shortage of psychologists in the community, it’s a choice we’ve made and it can be addressed immediately.
