How to Learn (you can just learn things)

A session on how your brain actually learns. We'll cover the neuroscience behind why some study methods work and others don't, how memory forms and why we forget, and practical techniques you can use to learn anything faster. Topics include chunking, spaced repetition, active recall, the Pomodoro technique, and how your brain switches between focused and diffuse thinking modes. Whether you're trying to pick up a new programming language, study for something, or just get better at retaining what you read, this will change how you approach it. No prerequisites. Just show up curious.
