The New York Times headline is funny, but the quote by Scott Aaronson is better - that is, more accurate:

“If this experiment has brought a wormhole into actual physical existence, then a strong case could be made that you, too, bring a wormhole into actual physical existence every time you sketch one with pen and paper.”

New linocut of Bryn Celli Ddu, a Neolithic burial chamber near Llanddaniel Fab on Ynys Môn. The chamber overlays an earlier henge moment and its passage aligns with the sun such that the sun penetrates the chamber on the summer solstice. The Welsh name translates into English as The Mound in The Dark Grove. The prints are hand-pressed onto a lightly textured Japanese paper (Hosho Select) using a barren and silver spoon. I have limited the number of prints to 10 in total.

There are four schools of thought that each have their own ideas on how scientific peer review can be improved. Wolfgang Kaltenbrunner, @stephenpinfield, Helen Woods and I have revised our paper on this topic https://doi.org/10.31235/osf.io/v8ghj. We have also created a visualization that summarizes the key tensions between the four schools. We are grateful to the reviewers of our paper for their very useful feedback.

Hey! Im a researcher of host-microbe interactions with a focus on bees! My research group is based at the Silwood Park campus of Imperial College London. We're particularly interested in exploring how microbes transmit & what their impact is on pollinator systems. Where possible we try to employ new techniques or combine multiple cutting-edge processes at once.

#introduction I am an evolutionary biologist interested by the origins of life and evolutionary transitions in individuality #ETI. I do #theory inspired by #ExperimentalEvolution.

I'd like to understand how living systems emerge and change scale.

I enjoy various approaches such as #Math #Models (#StochasticProcess, #DynamicalSystems, and #AdaptiveDynamics in particular), #PhilosophyOfScience, #Bioinformatics and #Dataviz.

I am a #FOSS and #OpenScience enthusiast. Nice to meet you all !

#Introduction

👋 I am a #neuroscience #PhD student at UPenn, working with @annaschapiro and Brett Foster studying how our #memory changes over time and during #sleep 🧐😴🧠

Outside of lab, I love playing soccer and printmaking (current project is screen-printing images of my brain on any fabric I can find!)

Excited to get started here with an #introduction!

I'm currently a PhD candidate in the Neuroscience Graduate Group (NGG) at the University of Pennsylvania. My work sits at the intersection of systems and computational neuroscience, exploring how environmental volatility affects decision-making behavior and its neural correlates.

In addition to collecting and exploring data, I love #writing, #sciencecommunication, and #teaching. Finding ways to build a common understanding of concepts brings me so much joy.

Outside of work, I love #hiking, #biking, #yoga, and absolutely anything involving my dog, Moe.

I'm looking forward to engaging on here!

In #JapaneseFolklore there is a belief that objects can develop a spirit or soul once they reach advanced age. This usually happens around their 100th birthday and it can be seen as a reward for their years of service. The objects are thereafter known as #tsukumogami, a type of #yokai which basically means 'tools that have acquired a spirit.' If they have been neglected or treated badly they may not be much fun to have around.
