Linda Charmaraman

Director of Youth, Media & Wellbeing Research Lab, Wellesley College

I am a senior research scientist at the Wellesley Centers for Women and project director of the Youth, Media & Wellbeing Research Lab. I conduct research funded by a 3-year National Institutes of Health grant to follow middle school students and their parents longitudinally in order to determine longer-term health and wellbeing effects of early smartphone use, social media use, and gaming.
