Dr. Anna Lembke, an #addictionmedicine expert, testified in a #landmarktrial against #Meta and #YouTube: She argued that #socialmedia platforms are #inherentlyaddictive for #teenagers due to design features like #autoplay and #endlessscrolling, which exploit their developing brains. https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/google-meta-trial-social-media-addiction-opening-statements-1235514395/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

@sentimentaldom Thanks, my wife works in #AddictionMedicine as a PA doing primary care so she's well versed but I'm just a simple #Epidemiologist living in academia so I have no practical knowledge (will I can fix my own motorcycle most of the time, most of the time....). Anyway working in #PublicHealth though I feel like I SHOULD know this stuff and be able to help. So really, thanks for what you do and I'll happily sign up for a training!

@alannawrites welcome to mastodon (that’s partly tongue-in-cheek as i’ve been here barely 3 months myself)! my interests are #worldlit 1880-1980, #AddictionMedicine, #harmreduction, and mental health in the #ClimateCrisis. my question is: do you think there’s a market for a #MarvelComics work featuring an un-superhero psychiatrist doing street medicine? Their super power is an elixir of empathy, sublingual buprenorphine and a third ingredient (secret)!
