Physicist are now using AI to try to reconcile two theories of the universe. “We can only make big steps in physics if we look at stuff in an unconventional way,” Renato Renner says, and machine learning may be the key. #physics #AI scientificamerican.com/article/ai-gen…

“I was originally afraid of the side effects,” Stacy says. “I was worried it was going to make my migraines worse.” As a 44-year-old mom of three, Stacy was hesitant to get the shot. But there may be a simple way to address fear of #VaccineSideEffects. popsci.com/health/positiv…

So excited to share this piece I wrote for Popular Science on how a positive #Mindset about side effects can lead to better #health outcomes. Thank you again Tara Haelle #ReadBannedBooks for all your help and guidance. #mindsetmatters popsci.com/health/positiv…

“#Mindsets are really powerful in situations where the world is a bit ambiguous,” says Howe. Doctors can help their patients navigate fear of #vaccines by making the value of side effects explicit. Thank you Lauren Howe for your incredible research! popsci.com/health/positiv…

“Science doesn’t operate in a vacuum,” says Ian Morse, but some of the best stories expose the way it does operate. I wrote this on how to transform science stories from textbook narratives into representations of how science works in the real world. nasw.org/article/how-co…

Renator Renner at ETH Physics hopes to someday use machine learning to develop a unified theory of how the universe works. Learn more in my new article! scientificamerican.com/article/ai-gen…

"AI generates hypotheses human scientists have not thought of" Robin Blades describes in an Scientific American article how NCCR QSIT member Renato Renner (ETH Physics) and others use machine-learning algorithms as guidance toward new experiments and theories. scientificamerican.com/article/ai-gen…

“It’s not magic,” says Alia J. Crum, PhD. “And it’s not surprising, actually, that the body responds to what you are thinking.” Check out the article I just published with Popular Science on the power of mindsets! popsci.com/health/positiv…

“If it’s not reported in a Western or English-speaking journal or newspaper,” says -, many reporters act as if “it hasn’t happened.” I learned so much at the National Association of Science Writers (NASW) conference on covering science across borders. nasw.org/article/how-co…

Are people selfish or cooperative in times of disaster? "The media often overemphasizes deviant behavior after disasters, while overlooking selfless acts." Great talking with Robin Blades about cooperation in the zombie apocalypse (and in the pandemic) thinkglobalhealth.org/article/zombie…
