[outro music] Welcome to the Learning Scientists podcast, a podcast for teachers, students, and parents about evidence-based practice and learning.

Hi, I'm Dr. Alfia Kaminsky, and in this episode, I'm going to be reading the post Thinking is Hard.

Thinking is hard.

As someone whose career is more or less based on thinking thoughts and communicating those thoughts effectively, I have a love-hate relationship with thinking.

There are days when I'm excited to work through tough problems and read interesting and relevant research.

Most days I'm genuinely excited to talk about those things with other people.

There are even days when I delight in writing about those things.
