Do you feel overwhelmed by social media and the news cycle right now? I do.

There is nothing new under the sun. How could this happen to us? Like how it happened to the Hebrews, the Romans, and the Florentines. But if you can see the pattern in the chaos, it will give you a sense of calm and composure. We are in history like everyone before us, great men, saints, peasants, and traitors alike, and still we are under God’s providence. Something you can do to appreciate this more is join me in following Pavel Shchelin’s upcoming Symbolic World course where he will relate to history through such a symbolic lens, using as an anchor the works of the great ancient Greek biographer and philosopher, Plutarch. If you haven’t heard of him –that’s part of the problem. Don't read the news. Read Plutarch. Register now.

Dostoevsky wrote this after nearly being executed:

“When I look back at my life, I feel pain not because of suffering, but because of wasted time. I see how carelessly I lived, how often I ignored the quiet voice of my soul, how rarely I understood the value of a single moment. Only when death stood before me did I realize that life is not merely existence—it is a miracle. Every minute is a treasure, and in every breath, there is the possibility of happiness.”

The wait is over.

My documentary, 'Cancer: A Food-Borne Illness,' will be premiering exclusively on @X, March 27th.

Parents, watch my documentary if you want to learn how to stop giving your kids cancer.

I started this as a 17-year-old trying to understand what causes this brutal disease,

Now I am up against the largest companies in the food and pharmaceutical industry, trying to save my generation from the same chronic diseases that plagued our parents and loved ones.

I'm grateful for my school @AlphaSchoolATX, which gave me the pathway to get here, and for X, which gave me the platform to speak about my research and find an incredible community.

Stay tuned for updates on the documentary! In the meantime, here's the trailer :)

Below a cool teaser of what the microscopy setup from our latest preprint can do. Here, a Salmonella bacterium (arrow) divides on the surface of human intestinal cells. It then invades, and the epithelial cell reacts by instantly killing itself.

After a long wait, I'm excited to share new research on ants, infrastructure, and resilience 🐜 Our @PNASNews paper shows army ants self-assemble into “scaffolds” that keep others from falling – an adaptive collective response emerging from individual sensing and decisions (1/7)

A piece of advice: consider making sure you are deeply connected to some positive things that somehow managed to get through two world wars and the Great Depression relatively intact. For me those are science, music & Judaism.
