Found this GOLD comment under a post on how children's phone use is contributing to their perception of life as meaningless. This comment will hang on my door, I'll send it to all department members, it will become my personality for the weeks to come, I'll recite it to my neighbours in French.

This wouldn't have been possible without some excellent researchers and speakers based in different academic institutions across Switzerland: Eva Unternaehrer, @leoroe.bsky.social, and Prof Dr Nevena Dimitrova. Thank you so much for your contributions, inspiring discussions, and brainstorming.

Coming back from conferences always fuels me to continue to work on the preliminary results that I've presented. At Swiss Psychological Society conference 2025, I organised a symposium on the use of screens and mobile media across populations of pre-school children, early adolescents, and parents.
