Deeply concerned to hear about @JoeBiden's health. Extend our best wishes to him for a quick and full recovery. Our thoughts are with Dr. Jill Biden and the family.
Just arrived back in Delhi to find the city embalmed in an all-enveloping burial shroud of pollution. Even at 2pm impossible to see 100m across the runway.
I've never seen anything like this in forty years of living here. What a fate for the City of Djinns- still, at its best the most fascinating of cities, but currently a tragic, choking death-trap.
Imagine this.
It’s November 2024, election night in the United States.
Screens across the nation glow with the faces of candidates, maps bathed in red and blue, and real-time voter data streaming across social media feeds.
But something feels different this time.AI-driven analysis is predicting voter turnout within hours.
Cybersecurity experts are on high alert, and digital ballots are making their way into more states.

A ticking time bomb of a problem that I've now dramatically improved with these five habits. 🧵
The Blindsight device from Neuralink will enable even those who have lost both eyes and their optic nerve to see.
Provided the visual cortex is intact, it will even enable those who have been blind from birth to see for the first time.
To set expectations correctly, the vision will be at first be low resolution, like Atari graphics, but eventually it has the potential be better than natural vision and enable you to see in infrared, ultraviolet or even radar wavelengths, like Geordi La Forge.
Much appreciated, @US_FDA!
How to save South Korean science
South Korea has more researchers per capita, and spends proportionally more on science, than most countries. But its 'bang for buck' — judged by pitting research spend against output — is surprisingly low.
Observers say that the country seems to be at an inflection point, where it either pivots and adapts, or struggles to keep pace.
Many researchers would like to see the country engage in more diverse partnerships — acceptance into the European Union's Horizon Europe funding programme is a positive step, they say.
And South Korea could do more to benefit from the talents of its female scientists: just 23% of its researchers are women.
