by | September 17, 2024

For  the Wall Street Journal, Maggie Downs wrote about how we can make travel memories that last. She told Study Hall, “I’ve often been curious about the nature of memories — why our brains hold fast to some moments while others are forgotten — so I harnessed that into a piece.”

For the piece, Downs spoke to seasoned travelers and a scientific expert specialized in memory retention. 

Downs’ writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Al Jazeera.
