Physicists Seek To Lose The Lecture As Teaching Tool -- Some of this may shake out to be true, but the conclusion doesn't follow from the discovery. As one of the comments said, the author doesn't take into account the benefit of taking notes. In my experience, the best learning process is 1) reading the material, 2) listening to the lecture & 3) taking handwritten notes. Also, one shouldn't necessarily extrapolate from physics as a subject to all subjects.
Maryland docs push for more stringent oversight on stents
Patterns of connections reveal brain functions: Neuroscientists identify face-recognition areas based on what parts of the brain they link to -- "No two people have the exact same fusiform gyrus structure, but using connectivity patterns, the researchers can now accurately predict which parts of an individual's fusiform gyrus are involved in face recognition."
