Our goal is to find better ways of creating durable knowledge. As professional learners, we care about the nuances that make students powerful learners. This website is our way of exploring habits for efficient learning and the scientific evidence that backs them up. We tackle various learning projects—from medicine to language-learning—sharing our successes and failures. We believe learning how to learn is a lifelong journey of growth and joy, which is why we're a nonprofit dedicated to creating free, accessible content.
