Applying for graduate studies in psychology and neuroscience can be challenging and confusing. Frequently, applicants have some support from mentors at their home institutions, but sometimes applicants are looking for additional reassurance, feedback, or perspectives on the processes.

We examined age-, gender-, and greenspace-specific associations between neighborhood greenspace and mental health among adolescents in @theabcdstudy.bsky.social 🌱
Counter to many previous studies on the topic, we found very little evidence of an association.

“outright bans enforced through technological measures of questionable efficacy risk being both invasive and ineffective. They may also increase online risks for young people”

China restricted young people from video games. But kids are evading the bans and getting into trouble
In China, many people see video games as ‘spiritual opium’. However, laws restricting young people’s play have proven difficult to enforce in practice.
