Memory and concentration problems in young adults have doubled since the early 2010s when smartphones became ubiquitous.
The % of Americans under 40 reporting serious memory & concentration problems has doubled since 2015, according to a study of 4.5M survey responses. The study authors naively blame inequality, but likelier causes are brainrot, inactivity, social contagion.

I've said this before, but I'll say it again. READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. So if you want to change their lives forever - make books & reading central to everything you do. And let them just enjoy it! #literacy

You’ll enjoy this Frances.
Thank you @UofGlasgow for bestowing upon my mum the honorary degree of doctor of the University of Glasgow. This has brought her so much joy in the final beats of her life. Janey is so honoured, and I am so immensely proud of her. Congratulations Doctor Godley.

On Saturday, I received a letter from the DWP telling my partner about changes to Winter Fuel Payment.
My partner died on Thursday 19th September. I informed the DWP of his death on Friday 27th September using the online "Tell Us Once" service. 1/
Me too Bob!
I could not be more proud to be involved in this project & publication. It is the fruit of my long friendship & collaboration with @drmo28 & reflects the vitality of Children’s Literature & Literary Criticism in Scotland. A formal launch in our @UofGEducation later this semester
It was a great night. I’m looking forward to book club connections too!
Beautiful Mass and dinner on Friday evening to celebrate 25 years of Catholic Education good to catch up with friends and reconnect ... looking forward to working with @drmo28 for our Book Club
