Really excited to start this project next year and to meet my fellow fellows tomorrow at @ChurchillFship launch event! My goal is to champion #algorithmicliteracy within the UK #esafety curriculum, empowering teens to control the content they view on #socialmedia
Congrats to @LizzyWinstone who's been awarded a prestigious @ChurchillFship Fellowship to develop a project to help young people understand how social media #Algorithms work. She'll be visiting #SocialMedia companies, interviewing @DigitalMomentCA & more bit.ly/3NMXhJw

New paper looking at the #mental health and #qualityoflife of #academicresearchers. Do we think systematically enough about the #wellbeing of researchers who work with challenging data in the same way we do (and clearly must) about our participants? rdcu.be/d92qu

Looking for #teachers of 11-18 year olds in the UK. We want to hear about your experiences supporting students with self-harm. We know a lot from safeguarding leads and SLTs, but not a lot about frontline teaching staff experiences, so please do take 15 minutes to tell us!

We synthesised 58 papers using EMA to measure constructs inc thwarted belonging, defeat & entrapment. Most IMV constructs vary over time for individuals but inconsistently…

…Most IMV constructs associated with SHTBs concurrently (some also at the next time point). Study design & samples varied widely, making comparisons difficult.

7. @educationgovuk & @SciTechgovuk should review provision and evaluate targeted programmes to enhance #digitalliteracy in disadvantaged groups (e.g. accessible & inclusive after school & holiday clubs). Ensure these include critical algorithmic literacy and functional skills.

8. @DCMS should develop a high profile & well resourced UK #medialiteracyweek to incl. high quality & evidence-based events & resources within schools, libraries, healthcare & other public spaces – to enhance digital, (social) media & algorithmic literacy among all age groups.
