To encourage the violent overthrow of a democratic process... I dunno, it just feels like it kind of crosses a line, speaking personally. FFS, what is going on in the minds of these people?

My new piece! "Why should physics—rooted in making sense of real things in the world—provide such good leads for solving some of the toughest problems in mathematics, which deals with intangible stuff, like functions and equations?" Enjoy! 🧵 1/ nautil.us/why-physics-is…

The 1700 page Grenfell Inquiry report has been published. It finds the catastrophe was the result of “decades of failure” by central government to prevent the spread of combustible cladding alongside the “systematic dishonesty” of huge companies whose products spread the fire.

The report reminds us in great detail that which we already knew: those 72 deaths were entirely avoidable, were the result of incompetence or fecklessness and were other people’s faults.

What is agency from a biological perspective, and why does it matter? Learn about it in my second interview with Dr. Philip Ball (Philip Ball), about his book, How Life Works. #Biology #Science Full interview: youtu.be/qZKsJ6oVxkU

New episode! tylercowen and science writer Philip Ball explore the challenges of modern science, including how well scientists have stood up to power historically, the ethics of artificial wombs and population decline, the terrifying nature of outer space and Gothic cathedrals,

Philip has chosen to talk about pluripotent stem cells. The introduction was a very personal account of cell reprogramming. The 10 minute talk was a fascinating introduction into this subject and its medical potential #PET25

I reviewed Richard Dawkins' new book for Science Magazine. I enjoyed it. The criticisms I have are probably the obvious ones, but it's still a sumptuous reading experience. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

This is wild. More condensed-matter physics of the cell, more ncRNA (this time plain old rRNA, in a new role) mediating it. Welcome to the new biology! cell.com/molecular-cell…
