A very interesting take on storytelling in The Matrix (best film ever 😉🤩). You could even take this narrative and apply it for storytelling in an academic talk

Cole Haddon@colehaddon.bsky.social · 6mo ago

THE MATRIX was released 27 years ago today (March 31, 1999). If you’re a storyteller, the first eight pages of its screenplay is a masterclass on how to introduce a complicated world. I’m constantly encouraging people to study them…which is probably why I wrote this article about them.

*Deadline tomorrow!* Register for this year's International Society for Microneurography 3rd hands-on Comprehensive #Microneurography Course & Conference, 15-26 June 2026 in Prato, Italy. For more info, see: lnkd.in/duQTXZNE

Thrilled to share our new paper in @thelancetneuro.bsky.social on “Hand prostheses with somatosensory feedback: functional and clinical benefits”. We assess current #neuroprothestic options and how we can really restore the sense of self after #hand #amputation for naturalistic interactions.
