We need to bring together - neuroscience - learning science - artificial intelligence Top learning techniques - Retrieval - Spacing - Generation - Reflection These techniques promote "productive struggle" which is necessary for learning. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBH8...

Artificial intelligence will make important contributions to public health decision making, but humans will always need to be "in the loop" as decision architects. #TEAMPublicHealth #decisionintelligence

A Consequence Table (CT) is a simple way to organize your thinking around a single decision with multiple choices (eg, choosing a school to attend). CTs were popularized by decision science pioneers. #TEAMPublicHealth #DecisionIntelligence teampublichealth.substack.com/p/consequenc...

[W]hile emergence in complex systems is about "more is different," intelligence is fundamentally about "less is more." Large Language Models are "more is more", Krakauer explains. They're essentially sophisticated libraries that know everything but understand nothing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dY46...

"When leaders begin to track decisions, they build a feedback loop into their thinking. Patterns emerge, assumptions surface, and accountability shifts from defending the past to improving the future." Over time, this sharpens decision quality and strategic learning." hbr.org/2025/11/grea...

The brain is an prediction machine. It guesses what will happen and updates future guesses based on experience. Every perception, emotion, & decision depends on these forecasts. Over time, predictions become expectations, and expectations define who we become. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/myel...
