Memo from a Former Student

Hi Dr James,

A couple of years ago, we got a nice article from you on why multitasking is not a real thing. This came out yesterday, and provides several lines of evidence to the same idea, now rather fact.

I hope you are doing fine,

Dear Máté,

There is nothing more rewarding than hearing from a former student. Well, actually, there is. It is more rewarding to hear from a former student who remembers something shared in class and then sends an updated version back. This e-mail and article is a real gift and I am very appreciative of it. I am going to share this along with your note in my blog. I will not put in your email address or last name. 

I am currently in Ecuador and just escaped a rainstorm, so this really warmed me.

How are the science studies coming? You were so talented in sharing your knowledge, I hope you pursued it.

Dr. J
