Truths, bolted together, can build a story to the heavens. Sustaining those truths can be quite laborious, each nut and bolt torqued by hand. Take time to nourish your soul…check your logic, question your intuitions. One nut, one bolt, one true story…..built on any faultline.

A lot of people wait to become the kind of person who does hard things, not realizing that doing hard things is how you become that person.

Learned a new word today - 'Enshittification'. Its used to describe the gradual decline in quality of online platforms as companies increasingly shift their focus towards maximizing profits and often at the expense of the people who use them

Sometimes a child needs someone to see their potential before they can see it themselves. Our job is to give them enough opportunities to prove that belief right.

I’m delighted to share this collective agenda-setting piece on Mitochondrial Psychobiology.

With @carmensandi10, we gathered as many colleagues as the Banbury Center allowed to explore contours of this emerging field. What can bringing mitochondria and the science of energy teach us about the human experience, health, and our ability to flourish?

It’s a rain day, so no work. Might as well cook. With AI as a sidekick, recipes become easier to follow, and you can quickly adjust without panic or studying a dozen recipes to find one with similar ingredients and ratios. Today’s fun: Northern Chinese-inspired beef and vegetable jiaozi, with homemade wrappers. And a Turkish-style su böreği-inspired hand-stretched yufka to begin my skill set for making börek.

Not every child needs a university degree, but every child needs the ability to think, solve problems, communicate and adapt.
That's a big part of the argument in my book, ATOMS. We should be preparing people for life, not just the next qualification.

People complaining about wanting to halt AI, you must be in a privileged position to dismiss the most disruptive technology of our lifetimes.
When you’ve actually watched someone suffer through a terminal disease without a cure, hoping a technology with medical breakthrough potential fails just out of tech backlash feels unimaginably out of touch.

Why slow motion practice doesn't work for beginners:
- Ultra slow movements only help once you already have some proficiency in the skill
- Go slow at the start and the proprioceptive feedback is wrong - fast limb movements are nothing like slow ones
- Slow is also too accurate. You generate no errors and errors are what swing the window for plasticity open
- Once you're hitting success rates of 25-30%, ultra slow reps start to pay off. At 5-10% correct, they won't do much for you

If you want light to carry quantum information, you have to encode it one photon at a time.
Most light sources (fllashlights, lasers, candles) emit photons in groups. But Isolated atoms can emit single photons as they transition to lower energy states, with quantum information encoded in tunable properties such as polarization or phase.
What about larger organic structures..maybe within our own bodies?
Could pigments, aromatic molecules (maybe withing microtubules 😉), and other light-sensitive structures in living cells encode information through photons? A new study shows that some carbon-based molecules can behave like artificial atoms, emitting identical single photons.
Biology may already be using light in ways quantum technologies are only beginning to engineer.
