I wonder how many people in academia can relate to this: One this I’ve noticed is that when you’ve had a little success, magazines are a lot less apt to use that phrase, “Not for us.” -Stephen King in his memoir on writing #academia

If how inanimate matter gives rise to consciousness is the “hard problem”, can consciousness proceed beyond self? is profoundly tough problem.

This is incredible. A small step toward building a map of the brain, but a step forward indeed. www.newscientist.com/article/2474...

Podcasts are powerful tools for sharing concepts and ideas across disciplines, but written forms are more enduring and better suited for the long-term preservation of knowledge. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

In 2016, the Kishony Lab at Harvard Medical School put together this demonstration of acquired antibiotic resistance in E. coli bacteria, creating a mega-Petri dish (2' x 4') with a stepped gradient of antibiotic. Seeing the mutants emerge & spread is an elegant demo of evolutionary change.
