The Brain Isn’t Supposed to Change This Much - The Atlantic by ⁦Ed Yong is not here⁩. Where I comment that I find the results a bit 🤷🏻‍♂️ theatlantic.com/science/archiv…

Crown shyness, the phenomenon in which the crowns of fully stocked trees do not touch each other, is usually shown from below. This is what it looks like from above ow.ly/p7Pf30osfEv [source and full video, by Dimitar Karanikolov: buff.ly/35rGRwt]

I've gone down a rabbit hole of reading about the life of Yellowstone wolf 21, who seems to have been the wolf equivalent of the Buddha crossed with Batman. In his entire life he never lost a fight & never killed a defeated enemy. What a legend.

Not a physicist, but back when I was starting off, Steven Weinberg's insightful advice was very influential in my own development: math.stanford.edu/~vakil/files/n…

Very excited to share our work published in Science Translational Medicine this week (and featured on the cover!), describing a new class of bioelectronic interfaces, “MXtrodes”, we developed using the nanomaterial Ti3C2 MXene. What’s so special about MXtrodes? Thread below...

I hope someday to meet you at that table, deep in the forest beyond the horizon, so I may thank you personally for the powerful gifts you gave us all. May your beautiful soul have found peace Dr. Chaudhri, and a wonderful feast in a new life.

I read a book that blew my mind a little and I can’t stop telling people about it. It explains why so many people dedicate their lives to achieving things that make them miserable. This might sound crazy, but an unseen force is pushing you towards empty and unfulfilling goals…

The Indus Valley Civilization was one of the oldest in history of mankind. It was twice the size of contemporary Egyptiac civilization and almost 4 times that of the Sumerian civilization in Mesopotamia. More than 1000 settlements covered 800,000 sqkm.

I am excited to share a new study led by Shachar Givon & samina matan w/ Ohad Ben Shahar: Goldfish can learn to navigate a small robotic vehicle on land. We trained goldfish to drive a wheeled platform that reacts to the fish’s movement (authors.elsevier.com/a/1eEnubrwfBCwg).
