piece on discussions of whether to shut down Wall Street. Fascinating part for me: nowhere does it even suggest that shutting down WS will have any negative effects on ... well, anything. That is, that Wall Street exists for any purpose except itself politico.com/news/2020/03/2…

What if we defined "the economy" as "the way we take care of one another"? Since that's what it ultimately is. What would economic indicators then look like?

🔥New preprint alert! Using household items, we gathered over 171K ratings from 134 countries worldwide. Simple sniff self-tests screen #COVID19 with 90% sensitivity / 80% specificity, work in asymptomatic cases and could be even better than antigen tests! medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

How does the brain generate high variability in timing within a reliable sequence of actions? Very happy to be part of this collaboration!

Really impressive finding linking food deprivation to changes in visual coding through energy costs. Almost couldn't believe it when I heard it, but a very convincing set of experiments. Congratulations Rochefort_lab Zahid Padamsey!

This is by far the most personal (and longest) essay I’ve ever had published. It's about memory, compulsion, and the value of experience. Mostly, to borrow from Joan Didion, it's about the stories we tell ourselves in order to live. aeon.co/essays/a-dispa…

You think you know what is an NFT? Well, think again... You are doing it wrong if you think about NFTs as pixelated images of punks, toads, or apes. It is not about the JPEG! A better mental model for thinking about NFTs 👇
