Amy Orben is a British experimental psychologist who is a group leader at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit.

[2] As a PhD student, Orben questioned the methods applied by Jean Twenge and others who had arrived at claims about the negative effects of technology and social media use.

[4] Her research considers novel methodologies to understand how screen time and use of social media impacts psychological well-being in adolescents.

[5] Post-millennial mental health (in particular stress, depression and anxiety) is reportedly worse than in previous generations, which is often attributed to social media.

Orben showed that this wasn't the entire story: statistically speaking, eating a potato every day had a worse impact on well-being.
