Is Narva next? No — Narva is first in Europe. Here, Europe has taken a key step toward reducing its dependence on China for rare-earth magnets, critical to clean technologies. The continent’s first production facility has opened in Narva, capable of supplying magnets for over a

This is going to revolutionize education 📚 Google just launched "Learn Your Way" that basically takes whatever boring chapter you're supposed to read and rebuilds it around stuff you actually give a damn about. Like if you're into basketball and have to learn Newton's laws,

With Moldova on the verge of holding what is likely to be the most consequential election in its history this Sunday, one that might unfortunately see it fall to Russian domination, I figured I'd do a short thread on the history of the place to offer some context.🧵

🧠 Why do some brains age faster than others? 🧬 Our new Nature Aging study of > 56,000 participants explores the genetics of the “brain age gap” — the difference between your brain’s biological and chronological age. Thread @ bit.ly/brainage-blues… nature.com/articles/s4358…

1/ In 1928, Alexander Fleming came back from vacation to a messy lab. On one of his Petri dishes, something unexpected happened. That "mistake" would change the course of human history. 🧵

Eric Turkheimer has a good piece about a bet he made with Charles Murray regarding the genetic understanding of IQ (or, really, the lack of it). Murray being so wrong in his prediction should make us question his world model, but it's also worth commenting on his response.

Finally, someone has solved a real problem with AI! No more having to take a paper in the format for a journal that rejected you, and reformat it for a new journal. Well done!! formatmypaper.com

The findings of this study indicate that physical activity directly adds to total energy expenditure, without evidence of constraint or compensation, in humans.

🧵🧵🧵 You might know that a major area of research in evolutionary psychology pertains to how women’s sexuality & mate preferences shift across the OVULATORY CYCLE (and even how women might be designed to CHEAT on their partners during ovulation). What you might not know is

Very interesting paper. For the past 6-7 years, there has been talk of a constrained energy model, where calories don’t scale linearly with physical activity. But this paper says the opposite. Why the conflicting data? 👇
