Men are like handsome little ogres. For all their talk of stoicism and self-sufficiency, they melt under the gentle touch of a woman. Something as simple as a curated breakfast bowl adds tenderness to their day. They are beguiled by the feminine magic.

RAS finally getting drugged is one of the great stories in modern biology, and almost nobody outside oncology understands why it's such a big deal.

YOU'LL LEARN SOMETHING AWESOME TODAY.

i am going to keep this as understandable (and simple) as i can.

Uusi iso meta-analyysi vahvistaa:
Luonnossa vietetty aika vahentaa merkittavasti stressia, ahdistusta ja masennusta!

Tutkimus kattaa 116 systemaattista katsausta, 3 870 alkuperaistutkimusta ja yli 10 miljoonaa osallistujaa. Tulokset ovat vakuuttavia!

Luontopohjaiset interventiot (NBI) vahensivat negatiivisia oireita selvasti verrattuna kontrolliryhmiin (SMD -0,69).

Erityisesti seuraavat nousivat esilla:
Ahdistus: SMD -0,83
Masennusoireet: SMD -0,72
Syke: SMD -0,70
Negatiiviset tunnot: SMD -0,61

Life satisfaction is shaped by several stable factors:

Emotional stability, extraversion, and conscientiousness are all highly correlated with life satisfaction

Feeling misunderstood, unexcited, indecisive, envious, bored, used, unable, and unrewarded were strongly linked with low life satisfaction.

Early in my career, I did some work in a supermax prison. My mentor was a Holocaust survivor & psychiatrist.

Here are 5 lessons I’ll never forget, and hope you don’t either...

[Kille Tölönen @Neonomide]

@vegai_ @JokuTurunen @lasleh @hsfi FinRavinto-kyselyn mukaan 11% suomalaisista noudattaa ravintosuosituksia.

Suosituksia tuskin paljoa muutetaan, joten suuremmat hyödyt ehkä tulisi asenteisiin vaikuttamisella?

Tässä mietittävää koulutuksen kehittämisestä vastaaville. Kannattaisi varmaan harjoituttaa oppilailla käsikirjoittamisen taitoja kuin digilaitteiden näppäilyä.
Toki ei aikuistenkaan kannata unohtaa käsinkirjoittamista ja käsin tehtyjä muistiinpanoja, ideoiden kirjaamisia yms.

@tuomasolavi @MikaelNiku Kiinnostavaa myös nk. Light Triadin näkökulmasta:

[Scott Barry Kaufman ⛵ @sbkaufman]

The 3 main characteristics of the light triad:

1. Kantianism ("Treating people as ends unto themselves")
2. Humanism ("Valuing the dignity and worth of each individual")
3. Faith in Humanity ("Belief in the fundamental goodness of humans")

Tää on itseasiassa mun väikkärin keskeisimpiä havaintoja ja viittaan tohon tutkimukseen myös

Yks oppikirjasarja selkeästi pyrkii valmistamaan lapsia maailmaan jossa on uhkia joita ne ei voi pohjimmiltaan ratkaista

Ja suhteessa tähän se eroaa etiikan opetukseltaan selkeästi 1/2

[Jari Parantainen @JariParantainen]

Aikoinaan jankutin koulutuksissani tästä turhaan.

Hyvä jos yksi osallistuja kymmenestä piti edes kynää kädessään.

Heistäkin puolet piirteli spiraaleja ja kukkasia lehtiöihinsä.

Sama taantumus näkyi palavereissa. Ani harva kirjoitti enää mitään muistiin millään välineellä.

In 1915, Gillette began convincing women that leg & armpit hair were embarrassing, masculine & unhygienic--to sell razors. A norm that has no health benefits but incredible compliance. Women are called 'disgusting' when they have the same body hair as men.

Where you put your efforts & energy matters to the outcomes you get.

If you block time for the gym, you should be blocking time to think. I'll die on that hill.

There's a lot of advice out there to "not be too hard on yourself," but look around...

You see entitlement, bad work ethic, poor treatment of others, rudeness, blame, etc..

More people should clearly be *harder* on themselves.

[Jim Al-Khalili @jimalkhalili]

I hardly ever spend time these days getting sucked into reading the nonsense on Twitter/X, but this surreal exchange between ex-footballer Matt Le Tissier and Grok about aircraft contrails encapsulates perfectly why most normal people have better things to do with their time.

[Kaitsu. 🏴‍☠️ @UnclemanBoomer]

Vahemman menneiden marehtimista - vahemman masennusoireita vanhempana!

Uusi tutkimus osoittaa, etta mita vahemmän marehdit menneita "mahdollisuuksia" ja "kadonneita tilaisuuksia" ("mita jos"-ajattelua), sita parempi mielenterveys.

Most people treat self-talk like a pep talk — you tell yourself you've got this, you stay positive, you push through. That advice isn't wrong. It's just incomplete in a way that matters more than most people realize.

The research on positive self-talk is real. Encouraging internal dialogue does improve performance. But the field has largely moved away from framing this as "positive vs. negative" because that's not actually the right question. The right question is whether what you're saying to yourself is *effective*. And negative self-talk can be effective. Positive self-talk can be useless. The valence isn't the variable. What actually drives effectiveness is something most self-talk advice never mentions: psychological distance.

Here's the thing: you're probably already an expert at this, just not for yourself. Think about a scenario you find stressful — an exam, a tough conversation, a high-pressure week. Now picture a friend in that same situation texting you about it. You know exactly what to say back. You're not scrambling. You're not spiraling. Because you're not inside the emotion of it. That clarity you have for them? That's the same clarity psychological distance gives you for yourself.

Your inner voice isn't your best coach. It's your most reactive one.
