We evolved to think while moving: navigating terrain, tracking prey, solving problems.

This dual stress expanded brain capacity.

Hiking, trail running, and climbing mimic this.

Treadmills? Not so much.

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is like "miracle grow" for your brain, supporting neuron growth and boosting cognition.

A single workout increases BDNF, and regular exercise enhances it even more.

Here’s how to maximize BDNF using exercise 🧵 1/9

Lifestyle is a stronger predictor of aging and mortality than genetics.

A new Nature study of ~500,000 people found:
🎯 17% of mortality variation was linked to lifestyle (exposome).
🧬 <2% of was explained by genetics.

Here’s what you need to know 👇🧵 1/10

A core challenge in #DeepLearning is the disconnect between the theory of how models generalize and how they perform in practice. A new theoretical framework demonstrates how to understand model generalization through optimization behavior. Check it out at https://t.co/wrhk0cy3Co

@Plinz Nope, the casting director really messed that up, brilliant series but Sonoya Mizuno just isn’t a leading actor..

@SamHarrisOrg @RichardDawkins Would you ask him about how his concept of “memes” has evolved with time? Whether he thinks that the field of memetics is a legitimate field of study and more broadly what his take is on the idea that memes are alive, “people don’t have ideas, ideas have people” #askrichard

What I believe on climate:

That I’ve been ignoring it too much because the “good guys” are lying their asses off about how certain our models are &amp; it makes me hate them, science, the IPCC and the whole Sanctimony-Industrial-Complex.

Meanwhile we‘ve got a serious climate issue.

@neiltyson I’m all for trendlines instead of headlines but wouldn’t this distract from the very real an addressable gun control problem?

It always seemed odd to me that to be considered a “real” scientist you have to abide to materialism when uncertainty principles dictate that there is no such thing as ground truth and the best we can do is describe the universe in probabilistic terms https://t.co/eOT2IIhhnR

@GadSaad Strange rt for someone who seems pretty enlightened, almost feels like #virtuesignalling.. Also doesn’t that directly contradict the central tenet of feminism?
