    • Life Sciences

They were mostly neuroscience and maths types and there for something super niche and somewhat nerdy — the Australian Memory Championships.

Anastasia Woolmer was a first time competitor — but she’d go on to win.

On All in the Mind, she explains the techniques memory athletes use, and how you can apply them to everyday life.
