Needed to summarize my PhD Project in 3min and realized I am the interesting spot of being behind and before the schedule. Is this a collective experience?

This is not caused primarily by "screen time".

It's been caused by the mass eradication of third places for young people in basically every city over the past three decades - and a society that's hostile to the concept of teens socialising in public spaces.

‘Worrying’ levels of screen time means young people losing confidence to socialise in person, minister warns – UK politics live
Culture secretary Lisa Nandy says ‘majority of young people spend all, or almost all, of their free time alone in their bedrooms, online’

Organismal agency is one of today's liveliest debates in the life sciences. Our volume—published a year ago—brings historians, philosophers & scientists into the conversation, offering the kind of nuanced treatment this complex issue deserves 👇 www.routledge.com/The-Riddle-o... #HPS #evosky #philsky

This!
Hard truth for grad students:

Writing isn't something you do after the REAL science.

➡︎ Writing IS the science. ⬅︎

Your experiments don't matter
if you can't communicate them.

Your discoveries don't exist
if they stay in your lab notebook.
