The Swiss firepit atop a cliff, complete with butternut squash soup, the authentic Swiss experience.

Burnt out? Working hard but going nowhere?

Some people finish fast. Others grind endlessly and fall behind.

A chaotic schedule is like a bee that never returns to the hive. It flies until it drops.

Here’s how nature fixes this—and how you can too:

9 days ago, I sent this model to the moon on a SpaceX rocket.

I planned it 5 years ago.

[Neuro-X Institute @Neuro_X_EPFL]

The Neuro X Institute is proud to have researchers who envision groundbreaking, translational research. And we are even more excited to see industry collaborations that can bring this technology to patients. Bravo to @_smicera and @SolaimanShokur for this important step!

[Nature is Amazing ☘️ @AMAZlNGNATURE]

Just found out that rabbits can swim. Also learned their ears go into swim mode when they do. This is important news.

According to Adobe’s new terms, they need “a worldwide royalty-free licence to reproduce, display, distribute, modify and sublicence” your content.

This is SOLELY for the purposes of operating or improving their Services and Software.

So what does this mean?

They can use your photos to train their AI?

So that their “Services” can improve and replace yours?

They can use your videos to market their products and services which is part of operating?

They can sell (“sublicence”) your data to any third party?

They can use your proprietary data and your clients’ data from PDF documents too?

Sounds perfectly fine and legit.

Nothing to see here.

☄️😍 ESA’s fireball camera in Cáceres, Spain, spotted this stunning meteor last night!

Our Planetary Defence Office are currently analysing the size and trajectory of the object to assess the chance that any material made it to the surface.

An assault on Rafah would be a strategic mistake, a political calamity & a humanitarian nightmare.

I appeal to all those with influence over Israel to do everything in their power to help avert even more tragedy.

[EPFL Pavilions @EPFLPavilions]

We are proud to announce that our 2022 exhibition 'Cosmos Archaeology' is now travelling to #China! 🚀🇨🇳🇨🇭A collaboration between @EPFL_en, the Shanghai Astronomy Museum and @swissnexChina, open from 18 May to 17 September 2024.

When two-thirds of the people killed in Gaza are women and children, when you block humanitarian aid, you’re not just going after Hamas. You’re going after the entire Palestinian people.

@_smicera @starwars meet the real-life engineer who is making Luke Skywalker's robotic hand a reality ;)

[Hillary Sanctuary @_hsanctuary]

Who remembers watching Star Wars for the first time, that scene when Luke Skywalker gets his robotic hand? @_smicera remembers, because it's moments like these that made him want to become a neuroengineer. Now he's working on bionics at EPFL: https://t.co/7ctoVpJGUu

Without protests, we would still live in a segregated country.

Without protests, women would still be second class citizens.

Without protests, the LGBTQ+ community would still be hiding their identities.

People with Parkinson's disease experiencing hallucinations tend to overestimate the number of people in a room. Using virtual reality and robotics, scientists in Switzerland made a device that simulates that effect, hoping it will help make better treatments for the illness

Scientists in Switzerland have developed a robotic device to induce hallucinations in people with Parkinson's disease in a bid to help design better therapies

Fabrizio Fidati, who lost his right hand in an accident 25 years ago, is among 27 other amputees who took part in trials for a new technology that allows patients to sense the temperature of objects in their missing limbs https://t.co/8jWRA6iCko
