I research and teach education and child development at the University of York (UK) and am also a professor at the University of Regensburg (Germany).

Nice to be interviewed for this interesting and nuanced piece in the @NYT by @AJNierenberg How Much Screen Time Should Toddlers Have? None, Sweden Says. https://t.co/CMxJtVOWiN

@ProfWHollmann @BecCarey76 @ConversationUK @Dominic_Wyse @AliceJBradbury @LiteracyTrust @beccarey Thanks, Willem! Now I understand the thread. Nice piece in the Conversation too. Education cannot blindly implement findings from RCTs (even if unanimous) because the level of evidence is the statistical aggregate, not the individual child, which educators work with.

@BecCarey76 @ProfWHollmann @ConversationUK @Dominic_Wyse @AliceJBradbury @LiteracyTrust Hi, I am new to interacting with Twitter, so forgive my illiteracy, but I couldn't tell whether "articles like yours..." referred to anything specific of mine? Sorry if I am missing the point somewhere...

Finally, something is really afoot to combat the demeaning and authoritarian treatment of teachers and schools in the UK: https://t.co/NZHgLcsswM

@DrLornaHam An unfortunate hierarchy of misery with the two most important, namely the children and teachers at the bottom, and the destructive factors, head teachers, Ofsted and the government at the top. Shame.

I have now officially finished working in Psychology in Education at the @UniOfYork Thank you to all my fantastic colleagues and students for a really rewarding and stimulating time.

Und ich freue mich nun auf die @uni_regensburg wieder!

Do we need school inspections (like OFSTED)?

PISA 2022 is out - the big OECD education study that costs big dollars but makes little sense. That is my opinion anyway: https://t.co/H50qStmOSF

@DermotLynott @etymologic Yes, constant restructuring, strategy papers, joint research agendas - but ever fewer true dialogues and meetings. Alas.

The full paper behind the piece in The Times "Does it kill the imagination dead? The effects of film versus reading on mental imagery" can be found on my website until it is in print in the coming weeks. Visit: https://t.co/uEdcUcnZvN

Happy that @rhysblakely and the @thetimes ran a story on my latest study on #screentime, #reading and #imagination https://t.co/HI4K3JxnT7
Would be interested to know how others experience screens and reading!
