On April 14, 1994, the CEOs of the seven biggest U.S. tobacco companies, including Philip Morris and R.J. Reynolds, sat before a House subcommittee run by Rep. Henry Waxman. He asked each of them directly whether they believed nicotine was addictive. Under oath, every one of them said no.

My way of doing active recall is to teach the material I study to my dog. Before, I used to do it facing the wall and just talk to it but it looked very awkward and I got really distracted while doing it.

What I did instead was teach what I studied to Rafa (our dog), explaining the concepts and formulas out loud to her like I was teaching a real person without getting too self-conscious about getting it wrong. This method helped me to improve my active recall and remember the lectures far better than doing it on the wall.
