• Brain Rules - John Medina
  
  Dr John Medina’s an eccentric, he’s also an academic, an American academic, and therefore not scared of getting his message out to practitioners. His book is readable, full of good examples and not short on serious research. Context and relevant, real-world examples have been shown to be elaborative, a strong argument, he states, for not learning in the disembodied world of the classroom. LONG-TERM MEMORY Rule 6: If only this were true in the UK. All of this is supplemented by some excellent YouTube videos, a good website and blog.

• How to Stop Mean Girls in the Workplace
  
  One study by John Medina showed that "adults with chronically high stress levels performed 50% worse on certain cognitive tests than adults with low stress." Cheryl Dellasega , in her book Mean Girls Grown Up , terms this verbal violence "relational aggression," defined as "the use of relationships to hurt each other." Workplace bullying directly impacts the bottom line by affecting productivity, wellness (with subsequent rise in employer benefit costs), attrition, attraction and retention. Other studies estimate the financial costs of this lost productivity (at work)

• Anatomy of a classroom: think out of the box
  
  Dr John Medina Out of the box At a Futurelab conference, while I waited to give a keynote talk, the organiser gave us all a piece of card, which you could fold up into a box. Classrooms break almost every rule in the book on territoriality. Dr John Medina had trialled spaced practice with mathematics, showing powerful increases in learning, by repeating practice later in the " If you wanted to create an education environment that was directly opposed to what the brain was good at doing, you probably would design something like a classroom. And if you wanted

  The closing keynote at DevLearn 08 by John Medina, author of Brain Rules , knocked my socks off.

• Medina keynote on Brain Rules at DevLearn 08
  
  John Medina gave the closing keynote at DevLearn, based upon his book Brain Rules.  He covered two of his 12 rules, on memory, and on exercise.  He spoke fast, was enthusiastic, funny, and knowledgeable.  He talked about myths of learning, and said that he didn’t think there was a lot neuroscience had to say to learning design (thankfully, cf Willingham ).

• What do brains have to do with it?
  
  A friend of my wife asked for some recommendations on books about the brain. While a great book on how the mind works, Proust is not a how-to manual. John Medina’s Brain Rules covers the latest scientific explanation of  wetware through folksy, human stories. John is a masterful science writer. Here are three. Proust Was a Neuroscientist by Jonas Lehrer is a wonderful romp about how we perceive reality, told in a series of stories about artists who perceived how brains work fifty to a hundred years ahead of the scientists themselves.
