An eye-opening new book by psychologist Lucy Foulkes lifts the lid on the surprisingly rational strategies behind the risky behaviours of adolescence, finds catherine de lange. newscientist.com/article/mg2633…

Very late to the party, I know, but I just finished reading Dr Lucy Foulkes first book on mental heath/illness and loved it! Interesting, well balanced and very accessibly written. Really looking forward to reading the newest one🥰📖

🚨Reminder! My team is hiring a Postdoctoral Research Associate or Senior Research Associate (same pay grade as an Assistant Professor), with a broad remit to work on quantitative research questions about social media use and adolescence 📊 Closing date: 19 August

Finally started this - so enjoying it. Chapt 1 quote really resonates with my work: “Appreciating why teenagers do the things they do can help people understand the young people in their lives today – but, perhaps most importantly, it can also help people understand themselves.”

Well I didn’t write a book before I turned 30 but I did the next best thing which is to feature in one! A massive thank you to Dr Lucy Foulkes **now on Bluesky instead of here** for interviewing me as part of her brilliant new book! You can buy a copy at all good bookstores now! ✌🏻❤️

I will soon be recruiting for a one-year postdoc, to work on a qualitative project about self-diagnosis of mental health problems in adolescents. If this is of interest to you, please DM/email me and I will send you the ad when it's ready Experience with qual is essential!
