Why subscribe?

The Psychgeist is a (mostly) monthly newsletter about science, games, and pop culture. With a heavy leaning on the science.

Our understanding of these new digital spaces is ever evolving, and it can be difficult to keep track of the latest comings and goings. This newsletter is designed to give you the TL; DR for parents, educators, fellow researchers, game players, game makers, and anyone else interested in how these spaces are changing, how they are impacting us, and what is coming up on the horizon. Yes, I probably mean the metaverse.


Subscribe to The Psychgeist get full access to the (mostly) monthly newsletter and website. Never miss an update on the latest research and other developments about the ways in which we understand our digital playgrounds.

While I will always support free readers (times are tough and science shouldn’t have a paywall), consider subscribing to keep morale up or a paid subscription to keep the lights on (and to open up the comments section on posts and the ability to start treads in the chat!)
