Distraction: Finding Focus

from The Yarn · host Centre for Advancing Journalism

The first episode of our Distraction series is about wayward attention and the struggle to focus. This week, our producers navigate ADHD, limit screentime, and question whether the solution to distracting technology can come from technology itself. This series was made in collaboration with the Science Gallery for their new exhibition, which is open now. Today's stories were produced by Ricky Sproule, Shixin Wang, Yeting Gao, and Samuel Irvine.
