"Be less tribal."
A great interview and I am in such agreement that tribalism is very problematic and we need to inwardly resist. Sports team's tribes can be fun. Socioeconomic, political, less so.

Impressive. A wearable patch that acquires continuous, real-time ultrasound images of the heart at rest, on the go, and during exercise (echocardiograms) with automated processing

Delighted to share with you our latest paper. Here, we test the hypothesis that aging may be driven by DNA damage-induced changes to the epigenome. Mightbe due to a glitch in the software of the body that causes it to malfunction, which can be fixed with a reboot?👇 1/

Ask yourself: Who do I spend my time with?
Goethe said, “Tell me who you spend time with and I will tell you who you are.”
It’s not just people. What you read, what you watch, what you think about—your life comes to look exactly like your surroundings. Choose wisely.

Most have big goals for the future. I think it’s better to know what your perfect day looks like.
Then you can ask of each opportunity and choice: Is this getting me closer or further away?
Life is too short to not live the way you want.

Merry Perihelion to Earth and all its residents.
On this day in our annual oval orbit, Earth is closer to the Sun than at any other time of year. By how much? We're 3% closer (3-million mi; 5-million km) now than than six months later in July.

How long before regulated industries follow? Many have MDM with BYOD policies. Will they ban TikTok from personal devices? How will it be enforced?
The obstacle in the path becomes the path. Never forget, within every obstacle is an opportunity to improve our condition.

After reading Seneca, it is impossible not to want to retake control of the most important, irreplaceable gift you are given as a birthright: time.
How do you do this?
Seneca: “Begin at once to live & count each separate day as a separate life.”

This interview spotlights topics you may not have focused on much before and stokes the fires of curiosity about how the universe works. And Stephen interacted with Richard Feynman so it's worth a listen even for that single fact. :)

This is great. High level, details, and references. Worth flipping through. Get the facts. Ditch the fear.
Be smart with your vote. Expecting the party who support the people causing inflation to be the ones to fix inflation feels…misguided.
