"Body Electric takes a comprehensive look at how technology is impacting our physical health. It's a collaboration between NPR and Columbia University Medical Center that picks up where her first title, Bored and Brilliant, left off. That book looked at how technology was hampering our mental health."
"I am incredibly proud that the Body Electric study was accepted for publication in a scientific journal. I've been doing interactive projects with tens of thousands of listeners for over a decade, but this is the first one to get the full peer-review treatment. It's a real milestone for me as a journalist, wanna-be scientist!"
"I was a devoted user of Pocket, the app that saves articles to read later, for over a decade, and was devastated when Mozilla shut it down. I've been using Matter ever since, and it seems to do the job just as well, if not better (highlighting actually works!), but I've noticed I use it more these days as a repository for research that I want to reference later."
Body Electric examines how technology impacts physical health. The work builds on earlier research into how technology affects mental health. The project is a collaboration between NPR and Columbia University Medical Center. It grows out of extensive podcasting experience, including leadership at WNYC’s Note To Self and hosting NPR’s TED Radio Hour. The book’s creation includes a study accepted for publication in a scientific journal, receiving full peer review. For personal tech use, Pocket was replaced after shutdown with Matter for saving articles and storing research references. The project reflects a shift toward using tools for later reference and research organization.
