An excellent discussion of academic talks from @wc_ratcliff.
I hadn’t realized the official version was out. I’ve been sharing an older version of this for years, and this one is even better

Murray Gell-Mann once whispered (in a typically mischievous Murray way) to me during an @sfiscience seminar, "biology is not ready for maths."
I don't agree but I am sympathetic. Moving forward requires triangulating bw diff types of representations. Even as we approach the end of a problem I think what actually crystalizes is not just an equation but mappings + isomorphisms, with understanding residing inside the triangle—a position that is akin but not identical to one of Roger Penrose's, and captured in his three-world's diagram.
Lots of discussion lately about the value of math + formalization, particularly for problems at the boundary of science + philosophy. Formalization can help to clarify as long as we remain aware of its + our limits.
One hundred years of wave equations of physical systems from Schrödinger's model of the atom to neural field theory of the brain
Both formulations predict that the system's expressed energy is constrained into natural modes - "eigenstates - determined by the system's geometry

@iwickelgren@sciam Dreams do more than serve as creative inspiration: They also help us make better sense of our world. @stevenstrogatz interviewed dream researcher Antonio Zadra (@drZdreams) for The Joy of Why podcast last year.

@Ronarid_ @leuconoe76@acmilan Siamo così in astinenza di successi da essere costretti a vendere la storia del club ad una cordata di imprenditori che del Milan, e dello sport in generale, non gli importa nulla? I successi si raggiundono una vittoria alla volta, anche ripartendo dal nulla se necessario.
