(she/her) NIHR School for Public Health Research Launching Fellow, University of Bristol. Young people’s mental health, social media use, suicide prevention
Trowbridge, England
Joined August 2011
Really excited to start this project next year and to meet my fellow fellows tomorrow at @ChurchillFship launch event! My goal is to champion #algorithmicliteracy within the UK #esafety curriculum, empowering teens to control the content they view on #socialmedia.
Congrats to @LizzyWinstone who's been awarded a prestigious @ChurchillFship Fellowship to develop a project to help young people understand how social media #Algorithms work. She'll be visiting #SocialMedia companies, interviewing @DigitalMomentCA & more.
