💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: ✍️🧠 A new study challenges the idea that people are born with a skilled dominant hand, showing instead that hand dominance develops through repeated practice. Researchers at Johns Hopkins and UCLA found that when tasks are novel both hands perform equally well, and that hand preference comes first and skill follows, not the reverse. 👉 https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/people-arent-born-with-as-righties-or-lefties-they-develop-hand-dominance-with-practice-a-new-study-suggests-180989168/ #brains #science #neuroscience #learning #childdevelopment #psychology #johnshopkins #UCLA #research #study

Video from a good alumni event: Bringing #Birmingham to You: Beautiful #Brains - building #neurodiverse futures https://youtu.be/8Hc19BukDsc "Our panel of academics and lived-experience experts talk about how #neurodiversity can transform #workplace culture, boost resilience, and empowers #inclusive leadership. Explore with us how widening #access to education and the workforce helps address social #inequalities. We share tips and signpost ways to properly support neurodivergent colleagues. And hear how Birmingham researchers are informing national #policy at government level."
