Can picking up a pen benefit your brain? In her first-ever talk at the reMarkable campus, neuroscientist Dr. Audrey van der Meer examines why handwriting is crucial for learning and memory, particularly in children. 

Drawing on decades of research, she shows how handwriting activates more areas of the brain than typing. This means better learning, better brain development, and better long-term cognitive health.
