I had this exact discussion with a student today - there’s so much to consider regarding how you take notes, whether by handwriting or typing. I experience this myself: when I handwrite, my ideas flow naturally, but when I type, I often feel stuck.
Handwriting leads to widespread brain connectivity - typing does not. 🧵1/10

Congratulations @um_pharmacology faculty, Dr. Henry Dunn (@GPCRHenry), on their Brain Canada Future Leaders Grant!
With the help of a Lotte & John Hecht Memorial Foundation Future Leaders grant, Dr. @GPCRHenry is investigating a mutated gene that causes a defect at neuronal synapses in order to reveal new therapy options for patients with neurodevelopmental diseases. #FutureLeaderFriday
