The 2020 Beata Rank Lecture
During these stark months of pandemic and quarantine, we all have turned to screens and the pervasive digital world for work, leisure, and sanity. This is true for adults and also for children and adolescents who navigate school, play, and connections through a digital lens. Although necessary in this period of crisis and isolation, the prevalence of screens and their overuse has been an ever-increasing concern.
