Screens, sitting, bodies

We sit 187 days a year. AI is frying our brains. We feel like crap. But we don't have to! My book BODY ELECTRIC is out today. Built on a @ColumbiaMed clinical trial with 20,000 people, it's a playbook for reclaiming your body and brain without going off the grid.

I’m on IG these days. Even with my misgivings. Come say hi

[Manoush Zomorodi @manoushz]

I've been on a journey to understand how our bodies are adapting to the Information Age + why we feel so bad at the end of a long day online. The result? A special 6-part series from @NPR! Find it in the @TEDRadioHour feed @applepodcasts 🚶‍♀️#bodyelectric https://t.co/bwmqeb8h5m

I got to talk with @manoushz on @TEDRadioHour! https://t.co/skBULBYfdn

[Manoush Zomorodi @manoushz]

@geneluenyang @TEDRadioHour GENE! Thank you so much for your kindness and genius. And your time. You gave us all three in spades.

[Manoush Zomorodi @manoushz]

@A22523 A very belated thank you!

Or listen to the ZigZag podcast to hear how it all went down! Season 2

New Yorkers, this looks like such a great (paid) summer internship for a HS grad ⁦@GovIslandNPS⁩ 🌳 https://t.co/ofyfnL4CKk

@MrsBowser7717 @ApplePodcasts @TEDRadioHour Thx!

[Manoush Zomorodi @manoushz]

I hate asking this. But here goes. Friends, a few listeners have written @applepodcasts
reviews complaining about my 'nasal' voice on @TEDRadioHour. If you're ok with how I sound, can you do me/all female hosts a solid by adding your thoughts there? https://t.co/3TeerD1NGp 1/2

[Manoush Zomorodi @manoushz]

It feels odd to be so down about cuts @npr yet so delighted by part 2 of @TEDRadioHour's #mindbodyspirit series. If YOU need some light shed on a dark week, listen to @SIRHEFFINGTON @leethomastv Adie Delaney @KCDavisSays on feeling GOOD in our BODIES https://t.co/BIPsLhJmU1

[Manoush Zomorodi @manoushz]

Elon, come on. You have to pay for 2-step verification via text now? That's just exploitative.

[Stu Rushfield: #Kindness @stu_rush]

Despite the proverbial sword dangling from above, @npr staff continues to make great content. Had the pleasure of mastering a special upcoming @TEDRadioHour episode yesterday. Kudos to @manoushz, @kmonteleone_, @s_meshkinpour, @AndreaGtrrz & my engineering colleague @NPRPatrick.

[Manoush Zomorodi @manoushz]

@stu_rush @NPR @TEDRadioHour @kmonteleone_ @s_meshkinpour @AndreaGtrrz @NPRPatrick oh, @stu_rush (and @nprpatrick), thank you so much for your meticulous ears and long hours. The whole team @TEDRadioHour is grateful x

[Manoush Zomorodi @manoushz]

@timinhouston yup, that's exactly what I was doing!

[Manoush Zomorodi @manoushz]

An example of bad AI? I backed up thousands of photos of my kids to Dropbox where it A) stripped the metadata + B) decided my kids are the same person. It then put composite-child's photos in chronological order starting at newborn. I'll have to manually go thru them, I guess? 🤨
