DESCRIPTION:Theme: *Social Behaviour & Communication*\n\nConcerns about th
 e impact of social media use on adolescent well-being and mental health ar
 e common. While the amount of research in this area has increased rapidly 
 over the last 5 years\, most outputs are still marred by a multitude of li
 mitations. These shortcomings have left our understanding of social media 
 effects severely limited\, holding back both scientific discovery and poli
 cy interventions. This talk discusses how developmental\, cognitive and ne
 uroscientific approaches might provide a new and improved way of studying 
 social media effects. It will detail new studies in support of this idea\,
  and raise potential avenues for collaborative work across the Cambridge N
 euroscience community. As the digital world now (re)shapes what it means f
 or us to live\, communicate and develop\, only an interdisciplinary approa
 ch will allow us to truly understand its impacts.\n \nAmy’s research use
 s large-scale data to examine how digital technologies affect adolescent p
 sychological well-being and mental health. She uses innovative and rigorou
 s statistical methodology to shed new light on pressing questions debated 
 in policy\, parenting and mental health. She also campaigns for better com
 munication of trends in data and the wider adoption of Open Science.\n\nAm
 y is a College Research Fellow at Emmanuel College\, University of Cambrid
 ge\, and a Research Fellow at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit\, 
 University of Cambridge.\n\nRegister in advance for this meeting:\nhttps:/
