On World Mental Health Day we’re launching PROMISE, a research project exploring youth well-being and social media policies.
We aim to understand how these policies affect young people online and develop data-driven recommendations to support their well-being.

Looking back, I had the best time in Columbus during my research stay at The Ohio State University. 🤩 I'm very grateful for the inspiring experience, so a big thank you to @joebayer.bsky.social, The Ohio State University School of Communication, @fwovlaanderen.bsky.social!
Last week marked the end of @lisemarienassen.bsky.social’s 6-week research stay at the OSU School of Communication where she collaborated with @joebayer.bsky.social's Mobile Social Cognition Lab.📱This stay fostered collaborations on perceptions of social media use, addictiveness, and disconnection.

NEW: Super cool piece led by Dr Brooke Nickel in JAMA Network Open!
I’m usually researching the other side - how to use social media for good health communication, so it was interesting to see how it can also amplify misleading health claims and fuel overdiagnosis.
