Twitter/X has has been a powerful platform for science, & I’ve benefited lots as an ECR. But I can’t condone the direction it’s taking and who’s at the helm. I’ll stick around for a while longer but have officially made the move to Bluesky. Follow me there @imo-b.bsky.social.

Excellent and important thread. Not only is Haidt's book unhelpfully one-sided, it's also misleading and inaccurate.

[Dr Imogen Bell @imo_bell]

Blanket bans on social media for young people is the wrong move. This takes rights away from young people, cuts them off from a core part of their social world and identity, and misdirects the rightful blame on social media giants.

[Patrick McGorry @PatMcGorry]

Yes unregulated social media and online env is causing real harm. Make it safe though don’t lock YP out of this world. Deal with the technofeudal barons who control social media.
