Instead of examining the benefits/harms of porn (there are both; it's complicated), I thought a non-threatening/digestible @TEDTalks that challenges teens to think differently about porn as their default #SexEd and masturbation facilitator could be useful.

“When the going gets tough, the tough get swiping!” When couples experience stress they grow apart. What couples get closer? Loving the plenary from Dr. Rhonda Balzarini! #SSSS24

Your @SSSSconference Board of Directors hard at work (through the evening!) at #SSSS24 in San Diego. Lots of improvements to share. Don’t hesitate to say hello and let us know what SSSS means to you! @Shaynagram @mcprof2 @jsitron @denhli @HTillewein

I really enjoyed my conversation with @Erin_K_Walsh on talking with teens about porn. It doesn’t have to be scary! Check it out if you’re interested! #parentingtips #parenting

@inpurier @Psych_UAlberta I’m so sad I missed you! Was traveling home from Seattle 😕

@iKeepSafe Q8: Online gender-based & sexual harassment is a growing concern for students. It’s hard for adults to discuss it, but is critical to incorporate into broader discussions of digital citizenship and not just relegate to violence prevention/awareness efforts. #KeepSafeOnline

@iKeepSafe Q6: We must help youth understand that our digital selves are an extension of our actual selves. Our moral reasoning should stay the same across our contexts. #KeepSafeOnline

@iKeepSafe @NISTcyber Yes! We need to help kids and teens fight their perception of anonymity that we experience online compared to in-person. #KeepSafeOnline

@iKeepSafe It’s critical for parents and educators to continue to educate themselves as technology is changing so quickly! #KeepSafeOnline

@iKeepSafe The online space is a critical one for development…it’s a bidirectional ecosystem where all sorts of processes take place. It’s more than a tool to be managed. #keepsafeonline

Hi @iKeepSafe chatters! I’m an associate professor in @MSUHDFS and I research adolescent development in an online context. So much of teens’ lives play out in digital spaces, so my work aims to empower adults to help digital native teens thrive! #KeepSafeOnline

I’m excited to attend and present at @AACAP for the first time! Come kick-off your conference by learning about teens’ screen use in room 4C-4 right now! 1:30p. I’ll be presenting work on teens’ use of pornography and how adults can address it. #aacap24

Come by the Education Abroad Expo @BreslinCenter and say hi! Dr. Sarah Prior and myself are sharing info about our brand new study abroad program (Sexuality, Culture, and Consent) with @ActiveConsent at the @uniofgalway in Ireland! @MSUHDFS @MSUSociology @MSU_SocSci #SexEducation

I’m proud of my students for addressing menstruation stigma!

@karessaw @michiganstateu @MSUHDFS Thank you!!

@DebbyHerbenick @michiganstateu @MSUHDFS Thank you @DebbyHerbenick! It's so fun to work with you along this journey!

@inpurier @michiganstateu @MSUHDFS Thank you!!

@SarahDamaske @michiganstateu @MSUHDFS Thank you @SarahDamaske!! I’m so happy to have had you on the journey with me!

I am LOVING @mitchprinstein’s talk on increasing the impact of our work (developmental science). Our findings are being used by others to make public recommendations and corporate profits and we aren’t getting any of the credit! That needs to change! #SRAChicago2024 #SRA2024
