Come hear Dr. Mitch Prinstein, our 2022 Bridging the Gap keynote speaker on October 25, explore what the latest neuroscience is telling us about the effects of technology and social media on the brain at one of the most pivotal times in childhood development and what this may mean for future generations of adults.
Dr. Prinstein is the Chief Science Officer of the American Psychological Association and the John Van Seters Distinguished Professor of Neuroscience at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He has published more than 150 peer-reviewed papers and nine books, including Popular: Finding Happiness and Success in a World That Cares Too Much About the Wrong Kinds of Relationships. His work has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, National Public Radio and elsewhere.
Dr. Prinstein also is co-director of the Winston National Center on Technology Use at UNC Chapel Hill, which received funding this year to expand three core initiatives: research, curriculum development for students of all ages and outreach to parents.
