Using social media in middle school predicts lower standardized test scores in high school.
10th graders who started social media before 9th grade are ~6 months behind their peers on math & reading. They're more distracted by their phones.
No child should have access to social media.
The best place to relax is near water.
After just 2 minutes of viewing water outdoors, blood pressure and heart rate drop. It's more calming to look at a lake, pool, or stream than trees or grass.
Beaches are popular for a reason. Wider bodies of water bring more tranquility.

Help us welcome our new president, Ramaswamy Viswanathan, M.D.! Congratulations on assuming the role of President of @APApsychiatric ! Your theme of "Lifestyle for positive mental and physical health" is truly impactful, and we're excited to work with you to advance psychiatry. 🎉
Invited a colleague I think very highly of to speak at a conference I'm organizing. Her response "... I think saying yes... would overextend myself" (she also asked me to consider her for future opportunities).
I was delighted to get this response! Why? A 🧵
Take your kid to conferences. Give them all the iPad time, treats, and pool time they desire. Skip some sessions. Allow the giggles during the board meeting. Show it can be done, especially if you’re in leadership.
Let’s put the humanity back into our work spaces. @Momademia
