A very topical documentary from the BBC

Science writer Rita Carter tells the story of how modern neuroscience has revealed that reading, something most of us take for granted, unlocks remarkable powers. Carter explains how the classic novel Wuthering Heights allows us to step inside other minds and understand the world from different points of view, and she wonders whether the new digital revolution could threaten the values of classic reading.

We thought: hey, wouldn’t it be neat if all the MATD students could have a place to blog all together, maybe even aggregating their personal blogs? We thought of possible domain names, but 4 letters domain names are impossible, so here we are: emayteedee.org is where the action will be. Keep checking this place, interesting stuff will eventually happen!
