Adult human brains have between 86-100 billion neurons and every single one is unique - like snowflakes! ❄️ In this 3D rendering by our #ElectronMicroscopy team, we see 3 different shapes incl. (from left to right) a basket cell, tufted excitatory cell, and a Martinotti cell.

We don't need to debate whether it's better to be a generalist or a specialist. The world needs both. Specialists excel at zooming in. They see the details to deepen our knowledge. Generalists excel at zooming out. They see around corners to broaden our view.

The hallmark of an open mind is refusing to let your ideas become your identity. If you define yourself by your opinions, questioning them is a threat to your integrity. If you see yourself as a curious person or a lifelong learner, changing your mind is a moment of growth.

Your subconscious mind can solve problems while you sleep: Your mind keeps processing information and make connections even when you are not consciously aware of it. Let me explain how it works:

The fact you can get an expert’s lifetime of knowledge in 300 pages for $10 is one of life’s most underrated gifts.

I really wish people would think about math ability the same way folks think about running. You wouldn’t completely give up on running forever just because you aren’t Usain Bolt.

As I got older, I realized: 🧵 1 lost money can be found; lost time is lost forever 2 learning to learn, and changing yourself is a superpower 3 you are not your job 4 networking is about giving 5 best teacher is your last mistake 6 good manners as important as good education

3 .14.2023 Happy Birthday Albert Einstein. Born on Pi-day, 1879, Germany. Shown teaching physics at Lincoln University, PA (an HBCU) in 1946. "The separation of the races is not a disease of colored people. It is a disease of white people. I do not intend to be quiet about it."
