Social media platforms are “not inherently suitable for youth,” say top psychologists, and tech companies and lawmakers need to do more to protect kids’ mental health. The American Psychological Association said Tuesday that endless scrolling and push notifications are particularly risky for young people whose brains are still developing. We asked Dr. Browne about this. Plus, we tackled seafood woes in New England. People who eat a lot of seafood may be at a higher risk of exposure to so-called “forever chemicals.” A new study published last week in the journal Exposure and Health tested several species in a New Hampshire seafood market. It found very high levels of these toxic chemicals, known as PFAS in shrimp and lobster.
