We're just about to kick off this year's Student Research Showcase, organised in conjunction with @SALCTG. If you're going to tweet, our hashtag is #StudentResearchShowcase24.
Our fourth and final featured #StudentResearchShowcase24 speaker is Benjamin Holder from @Strath_iSchool who is investigating the impact of reading and meditation on mental health.
Using meditation as a comparator—which has been well researched and documented to show the positive effects in brain structure—this paper will argue that
reading has similar effects on the brain. #StudentResearchShowcase24
