Music can hep us study and learn.

‍

Yiren Ren, a sixth-year Ph.D. student in Georgia Tech’s School of Psychology, is studying how music impacts learning and memory. Writer Jerry Grillo conjectures that "possibly, she’s listening to Norah Jones, or another musician she’s comfortable with. Because that’s how it works: The music we know and might love, music that feels predictable or even safe — that music can help us study and learn. Meanwhile, Ren has also discovered, other kinds of music can influence our emotions and reshape old memories."

Music can hep us study and learn.

We don’t spend much time imagining all the possibilities the future holds.

The challenge before us is learning to see ourselves, our communities, and the living world not as separate parts, but as participants in a larger web of relationships.

If we only see ourselves as we are now, we miss our ability to imagine, grow, and choose new paths.

What people think they can do together can shape outcomes as much as any policy or formal plan.
