"Writing compels us to think — not in the chaotic, non-linear way our minds typically wander, but in a structured, intentional manner. By writing it down, we can sort years of research, data and analysis into an actual story, thereby identifying our main message and the influence of our work. This is not a philosophical observation; it is backed by scientific evidence. Handwriting can lead to widespread brain connectivity and has positive effects on learning and memory." https://www.nature.com/articles/s44222-025-00323-4
