Researchers should prioritize knowing what should be prioritized: finding the truthiest truths to solve problems at hand. And how to document such that the records can survive an audit, so the work survives people. What I am concerned by: innovations that work but don't make it to patients in need.
Started reading the book and yes, it is my cup of tea. And cup of coffee. And cup of water. I do have a digital watch and ideas about the movements of small green pieces of paper. I am also very happy for very much of the time. A charming existence in this universe.
I need to read the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy before 42 people tell me that I should.
I feel inspired to pause or exhale when needing to respond quickly
Did you know that your speed — in a simple task of quickly pressing a button every time you see a yellow square — is faster when you are exhaling or pausing then when you are inhaling? Dr. Erika Yamazaki figured this out, did all the work, and published on it this week www.cell.com/iscience/ful...

Absorbed some coffee, then became absorbed by work!
Currently happy about: being on the right track Hello from my brain in a train!
Delighted to be planning a trip to DC for @sfn.org 2026!
Currently happy about: visiting a Zen Buddhist Temple. It's the NYC branch of the temple system I lived in during grad school!
Paris Baguette is at the intersection of absurdity and utility. It is not Parisian, it’s South Korean. People mostly go there for pastries, not baguettes. It is neither very Paris nor very baguette, yet Paris Baguette has scaled to many locations around the world.
Currently happy about: floating around, being happy, making friends, learning
Currently happy about: New York Public Library. The one I pass while walking between Grand Central Station and Radial's Midtown Manhattan HQ has marble lions named Patience and Fortitude.
Quality assurance work: maybe it ruins your day. But it improves your life.
This statement is neither agonizing nor antagonizing. Very receptive to Emma's ideas here.
if you like 5-ht2a agonists you are a problem solver and if you like nmda receptor antagonists you are an ontologist. I don’t make the rules. (because I am a problem solver.)
Currently happy about: Claude compacting conversation history. The compression is like a cozy digital hug.
Brain + body = continuum. Every living cell responds somehow to electricity. Every major organ system in the body is innervated. Looking forward to Li Ye's @simonsfoundation.org Presidential Lecture! www.eventbrite.com/e/energetics...
Energetics of Integrating the Brain and Body
Registration for this lecture will close at 2 p.m. the day of the event. Review the complete list of entrance requirements below.

So much serendipity, many random-ish good things float into my life. Today, I found a banana stand in Midtown Manhattan! Eduardo stands there and gives free bananas to the humans! He says it’s their way of giving back to the community! I say this is both fruitful and appealing. #banana
Good times speaking on the Future of Medicine podcast with Chay Carter and Mat Stratton, Lucy Jung was a terrific host!

💻 😎 My latest Neurotech Reports article is about computer vision, which I hope becomes more explicitly discussed as a part of NeuroAI. It has great potential to improve neurotech medical device workflows! #neuroscience #neurotech neurotechreports.com/news/compute...
Computer Vision is Becoming Neurotech's Situational Understanding Layer and Distribution Channel - Neurotech Reports
Machine Medicine’s FDA breakthrough designation for their video assessment platform, hiring at Metamorphic and Epia Neuro, and a leaked Apple AirPods demo all point to the same patterns: computer visi...
