It’s @icahdq.bsky.social notification day #ica26

Not a premium subscriber but there are free apps with this feature and my use case for >2 speed is for continous processes in crafting, cooking, etc. Can be a real time saver.

Awesome paper, thanks! :) Definitely connects to disconnection and also some of our discussions on (mobile) disconnection as substitution @mqrmobile.bsky.social @aliciagilbert.bsky.social

Exciting times ahead! In June, our newly elected officers @lisemarienassen.bsky.social, @aliciagilbert.bsky.social, and @deeptiapte.bsky.social will officially step into their roles to take #ICAMobile forward. We look forward to introducing them at the #ICA26 Business Meeting. Stay tuned!

YouTube video by Taylor Lorenz Social Media Addiction Isn't Real (Here's What's Really Happening)

Was really exciting for me to sit down with @taylorlorenz.bsky.social and discuss my research on her Podcast, Power User! I’ve followed her social media coverage for a long time.

Highly recommend watching the full YouTube version below (has visuals from the relevant paper): youtu.be/K-0z0j0QvPI?...

A crossover between two of my favorites! Congrats, this is huge :)

The "smartphones/social media" discourse suffers from some amazing historical amnesia. There was no 2008 financial crisis and no global pandemic starting in 2020, it's all SCREENS SCREENS SCREENS. Major world events? Just the backdrop against which SCREENS happened.

Text: In der sogenannten Postdoc-Phase, die bei vielen Menschen mit der Familiengründungsphase zusammenfällt, wird ein enormes Maß an Mobilität und Arbeitseinsatz bei gleichzeitig befristeten und unsicheren Beschäftigungsverhältnissen erwartet. Für Frauen, die immer noch den Großteil der Sorgearbeit leisten, ist das in dieser Lebensphase oft schlicht nicht zu leisten. Bild: Bettina Kohlrausch

Frauen promovieren fast genauso häufig wie Männer – doch zur Professur gelangen sie deutlich seltener. Für @bettikohlrausch.bsky.social, Direktorin des WSI, ist klar: Trotz Maßnahmen zur Förderung von Frauen behindert das Wissenschaftssystem die Aufstiegsmöglichkeiten von Frauen ganz offensichtlich.
