On book birthing: I am excited, humbled, and terrified that my baby has gone out to strangers to be evaluated. I just have to remind myself that I didn't write it so people would like me-- I wrote it so they would like themselves and appreciate others who work differently.

Ready, set, read! Patterns of brain activation during a working memory task suggest that skilled readers use more goal-directed brain regions to prepare for attentionally demanding tasks. #DiscourseProcesses @MottarellaM @drbyamasaki @ChantelPratPhD https://t.co/Y0Xwwm4Ks5

Coding is more about communicating than computing.

New data: the best predictor of how quickly people learned to code wasn't math or cognitive ability, but language aptitude.

Math skill was almost irrelevant. Coding is mastering a language, not numbers.
