In this post, I am going to lay out what to expect from the website and blog going forward.
I plan to continue writing about the amazing achievements that science has made in the field of psychology and mental health.
Full Stop.
Using the research conducted every day by incredibly intelligent people to improve our own lives seems like a no-brainer. Beyond this, much of this research is publicly funded so we should reap the rewards as a society.
I have never met a scientist that was happy with the paywalls that most academic journals impose. In fact, most will grant you access to their work if you just email them. I plan to take advantage of this and explain the work in layman’s terms. I will also make sure to cite all of my sources in either APA or Chicago format to assure complete transparency with all of my research.
Keeping these things in mind, it will be my pleasure to post a rundown of interesting research and how it can affect the ways that we go about our lives. I will post once every 2 weeks on Friday, and I will write two different types of posts:
- A high-level overview of recent research done in a niche area, like “sleep and mental health.”
- A deep dive into the nuance of one paper or one author, similar to my Impacts of Interpersonal Relationships.
Lastly, it will be my mission to keep all of my writing interesting and relevant. This is engaging and fun for me, and I will work toward making it the same for all of my readers.
I’m really excited to start posting these, and -as a little teaser- my first post will be a deep dive into how technology can affect close interpersonal relationships.
