Associate professor in educational psychology at Aarhus University, Denmark, asking questions about how tech affects learning, thinking, work, play, wellbeing.

At one point I studied brains. Trying to err on the side of empirical data, yet not beyond holding opinions.

Wrote books about imagination, games and (for 2023 publication) screen time. Upcoming title about stupidity.

Good Nature article summarizing why the widespread use of short-term contracts in academia is harmful to science and what could be done. Something really needs to change... #IchbinHanna

Quality research needs good working conditions - Nature Human Behaviour

High-quality research requires appropriate employment and working conditions for researchers. However, many academic systems rely on short-term employment contracts, biased selection procedures and misaligned incentives, which hinder research quality and progress. We discuss ways to redesign academic systems, emphasizing the role of permanent employment.

Cognitive dissonance stings if you’re a young guy, slowly discovering that the G you’ve been idolizing online is a faker.

No denying Andrew Tate’s talents. But his brilliance is at building and online cult around images of business, testosterone and sex in an age of vulnerable masculinity.

“I tweeted about Tate’s finances, suggesting he may not have as much money as advertised. It got 2.3m hits and I was called a moron, parasite, fake journalist and worse”

The truth about Andrew Tate: ‘His home is less Hollywood hideaway, more rundown meat factory’

The former kickboxer has achieved global notoriety by peddling violent misogyny to millions, and claims to have made ‘trillions’ – but is his life of fast cars and luxury a facade?

Can anyone recommend a good #deepfake tool? We’re preparing an experiment, and we need the same video of two people telling their stories to be delivered by male and female, Caucasian and non-Caucasian. We also need to version it in five different languages.

Is there a tool that would allow that? Ideally something that doesn’t require immense coding expertise.

Buckling up. My kids are home sick, so I'll squeeze a meeting with city council about youth wellbeing, making a video with some talking points for WHO and giving one slightly beleaguered student feedback on an excellent thesis into this morning, before hurrying home to take over sick-monkey-watch from the missus.

Pepper spray for the school run? The weaponised SUV set to terrify America’s streets

The extreme features of the Rezvani Vengeance – including electrified door handles and blinding strobe lights – are wholly in tune with lethal trends in the US market
