I am celebrating 10 years of my blog, In Your Hands. I have written over 150 posts describing handedness research. Read my comments on the 10-year history at sites.psu.edu/clarep #laterality #lefthanded #neuropsychology

Happy to announce that the journal Laterality is inviting short commentaries to answer the question "How many handednesses are there?" We aim to facilitate an open dialogue across disciplines and species. Submission deadline is 10th July 2026. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
