When you feel sad, remember that tiny proteins called kinesins are working inside you 24/7 just to keep you alive.
So be kind to yourself, your body is doing everything it can to keep you alive!

"I was not yet asleep being a night owl. And now I don't think I'll be able to sleep for quite a while!"

Today psychiatrist and scientist Karl Deisseroth learned he had been awarded the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. We found out his first reaction to the news.

What characteristics do you need to become a successful researcher? Economic sciences laureate Peter Howitt shared his thoughts:

"Curiosity is number one. And the ability to pursue through failure, because most of what I ever tried didn’t work out. So you just have to keep trying. There’s an old saying that if at first you don’t succeed you should redefine the question. Start looking somewhere else. Keep on searching around until you find something that really works. Persistence is important."

The most dangerous, oddly glorified, yet overlooked problem in the world:

Chronic Procrastination.

It's why you're stressed, anxious, depressed, and your immune system is in chaos.

Here's Andrew Huberman's 7-step protocol to escape the prison of procrastination: 🧵

The largest medical #AI randomized controlled trial yet performed, enrolling >100,000 women undergoing mammography screening, was published today @LancetDigitalH
The use of A.I. led to 29% higher detection of cancer, no increase of false positives, and reduced workload compared with radiologists without A.I.. https://t.co/GGrLqdG5yq

ELON: THE PROBABILITY OF MECHAZILLA CATCHING STARSHIP IS ABOVE ZERO

“It'll weigh about 250 tons. 

We'll make that lighter over time. 

So, you got a couple of hundred tons plummeting more than half the speed of sound. 

So, this thing is still coming in really fast. 

Pretty much down in a downward direction.

So then, they light the engines, so it's got to slow itself down very fast and correct any errors.

Whatever the X-Y error is when the engines land, it's got to take out that X-Y error and then drop the velocity to basically zero, come in between the arms.

The arms will be wide, and as it's coming in, the arms will close, go flush against the side of the vehicle, and the vehicle will be descending through the arms.

And those tiny little, you can barely see them, the little knobs, those kinds of lifting lugs will touch the top of the arms, and then it will hopefully not shear off and crumple.

Success is one of the possible outcomes. 

The probability is uncertain, but it is above zero.”

Doing good science is 90% finding a science buddy to constantly talk to about the project.

This year’s medicine laureates Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun studied a relatively unassuming 1 mm long roundworm, C. elegans.

Despite its small size, C. elegans possesses many specialised cell types such as nerve and muscle cells also found in larger, more complex animals, making it a useful model for investigating how tissues develop and mature in multicellular organisms.

Read how the 2024 medicine laureates’ investigations into C. elegans revealed an entirely new dimension to gene regulation: https://t.co/8RwUplwYQA
