New Column: "How We Remember School: A Memory Bias Study" Is Now Live!

Jun 22, 2025

Were your school days really as you remember them — or is your mind playing tricks on you?

Our latest column explores how nostalgia shapes (and sometimes distorts) our memories of school life. Backed by research in cognitive science, this deep dive reveals the subtle ways our brains edit the past — highlighting the highs, softening the lows, and occasionally rewriting reality altogether.

If you’ve ever looked back and wondered, “Was it really like that?”, this article offers answers grounded in science — and maybe a few surprises, too.

Memory isn’t just a window to the past. It’s a lens — sometimes a rose-colored one.
