A man spends 50 years teaching at MIT.

He knows his time is running out.

So he records one last lecture — everything he knows, distilled into a single hour.

He died 5 months later.

This is that lecture.

The most important hour you'll watch this week. 👇

Overcoming a major hurdle in the use of microbes as medicine, researchers in Science have introduced implantable “living materials” that autonomously deliver therapeutics using contained engineered bacteria.

@DKAstrology People just want children as a retirement plan
And that's far more disgusting than not wanting children just because
But they're not ready for that conversation

Why you hate pharmacology?

Me:
metronidaZOLE is antibiotic. omepraZOLE is PPI.
albendaZOLE is antihelminthic.
fluconaZOLE is an antifungal.

🚨BREAKING: New research suggest that every time you learn something new, break an old pattern, or push through discomfort — your brain forms new neural connections and strengthens existing ones.

You are literally reshaping your brain in real time.

[Vala Afshar @ValaAfshar]

The problem is not people being uneducated.

The problem is that people are educated just enough to believe what they have been taught, and not educated enough to question anything from what they have been taught.

They removed CD/DVD drives from devices.
They made physical media harder to buy and use.
They removed expandable storage from phones.
They pushed us into streaming subscriptions.
They made always-online normal.
They made unlimited internet necessary.
Then slowly raised the price of everything.

Ownership quietly became renting.

🚨: Chinese scientists reverse diabetes in few humans for the first time using stem cells.

The patient began producing insulin naturally after the treatment, something previously considered impossible.

We already fight to be believed.
We already fight for proper diagnosis and care for endometriosis, fibroids, adenomyosis, and PCOS.
We already carry the financial burden of expensive period products and chronic illness.

The very least we deserve is safety.

Mexican scientists eliminated HPV
Spanish scientist cured pancreatic cancer in rats.
Japanese scientists have achieved groundbreaking, world-first breakthroughs in regenerative medicine, to restore movement in paralyzed patients.

Now Korean scientists have reversed colon cancer.

These are the only type of news I need in my feed, algorithm and Elon should take note.

Which professor you will choose for PhD supervision?

[Emmanuel Tsekleves @PhDtoProf]

I wasted 2 years of my PhD waiting to publish.

Waiting for lab access.
Waiting for ethics approval.
Waiting for data collection to finish.

Meanwhile, my peers published paper after paper.

I had nothing.

[Prof Lennart Nacke, PhD @acagamic]

Most PhD students think their journey looks like this:

Year 1: Review Literature
Year 2: Collect Data
Year 3: Analyze
Year 4: Write
Year 5: Defend

Clean. Linear. Predictable.

But that's not how research actually works. It's a mess.

Here's what the real PhD timeline looks like...
