Hi I'm Giles, I make videos about learning 🧠 I have a degree in physics, a post graduate certificate in Data Science and am a former medical physics researcher and before all that I was a financial journalist.

I share the best evidence based learning techniques to help you learn anything you want.

Do you use ChatGPT? It might be making you stupid and ruining your brain. What can you do about it? I look into that in my latest video, which I think you will like. I cover the latest research into how using AI degrades your ability to think.

Hello lovely people! Do you fancy helping me out?

I've created a new course. You won't be surprised that it's about learning and I'm looking for 50 beta testers. You can buy the course for $2 and keep it. All I ask is that you give me some feedback when you've finished.

If you're wondering why I'm charging at all, it's because I want to make sure the payment system is nice and smooth. I'd like feedback on that too please.

The course covers all the most effective evidence based learning methods, shows you why they work and how to apply them to your own learning. There are multiple choice questions and deeper dive questions. You'll be a learning expert by the time you complete it!

Here's the link to the beta version:
courses.giles.how/offers/ZppzrMhn

(update: we now have 50 beta testers. Thank you! If you're still interested in the course the link now takes you to a discounted version of the non-beta version.)

Thank you very much.
