BDNF is the molecule at the center of cognitive resilience. Vigorous exercise — especially strength training and high-intensity intervals — is the single most powerful way to raise it. No supplement, hormone, peptide or drug comes close.

Your gut bacteria help regulate key sleep signals like serotonin, melatonin, and calming neurotransmitters like GABA. When your microbiome is off, your sleep quality often follows. A healthy gut doesn’t just improve digestion, it's essential for consistent, high-quality sleep.

Our hearts are with the people of Spokane and communities across Washington facing devastating wildfires, evacuations & profound loss.
We're grateful to the firefighters, emergency personnel, volunteers & neighbors working tirelessly to protect lives & care for those affected.

[Washington State Dept. of Natural Resources @waDNR]

Please stop flying your personal drones over wildfires. They can ground or collide with our firefighting aircraft, disrupting time critical firefighting and threatening people’s homes. Your photos are not worth someone’s home.

If you fly, we can’t.

We don't just feel better during vacations. Our moods elevate in advance too.

Evidence: People aren't always happier after a holiday, but they do feel happier beforehand. It gives them something to look forward to.

Anticipated joy is a reliable source of happiness.

Say what you will about deliberate cold exposure (I agree don’t do it in the hours post resistance training) but it’s a reliable tool for raising stress tolerance & for learning to keep calm while flooded with adrenaline. In this reactive world calm under pressure is invaluable.

Spending time by the sea shifts your brain into a calmer state. And, it naturally encourages two of the most powerful health habits: movement and connection. Walking, swimming, and spending time with others by the water supports both physical health and emotional well-being.

A proposed pledge for Elon Musk.
An opportunity to put your money where your mouth is. If money won’t matter in 2036, why don’t you pledge to donate your current wealth of approximately $1 trillion to charity no later than 2036. This would establish with great credibility your belief in the powers of AI and technology. It would also assuage many people around the world who are worried about the political and social influence of billionaires and trillionaires.
PS. The charities chosen for this should be approved as effective and non-ideological by an impartial body.

Teens that spend over 4 hours a day on screens are more depressed, more isolated and more anti-social.

Is this really the world we want for our children?

I talked to parents about how we can stop Big Tech from rewiring our kids' brains.

Why do sharks swim in salt water? Because pepper water makes them sneeze!

A UChicago linguistics course explores how the same childhood skill behind telling jokes also makes deception possible.

The open weights models discussion would be much less fraught if all the frontier closed models weren't developed in the US and all the frontier open models weren't developed in China.

It means that discussions over openness and AI are inevitability about a lot of other things.

From a Dallas resident visiting for USA vs. Belgium, in the Seattle Times:

“The buses are everywhere. The city is so walkable. You have one of the cleanest downtowns in America. This downtown is as incredible as any place in the world.”

World class city and state.

A three-legged deer nicknamed Tripod is going viral after being captured on camera by a hobbyist photographer in Maine.

The deer, despite being injured herself, has adopted two baby deer, in addition to caring for her own fawn. https://t.co/PrCLpIf3gO

When people are stressed, “You can handle this” is a better message than “It’s not a big deal.”

Data: Minimizing risks dismissing their experience. Encouragement builds their confidence.

The best way to support people is not to deny their pain—it's to help them navigate it.

This is free advice from an expensive psychologist. If you’re an anxious person, do everything for fun. Go to a job interview for fun. Submit documents for fun. Start a blog for fun. Anxiety feeds on importance. Don’t make everything a matter of life and death.

Neuroscientists find that chewing gum can elevate focus and alleviate stress.

Randomly assigning people to chew gum increases blood flow to the brain, boosting attention and productivity—especially under stress.

Even small movements are enough to keep our minds active.

[Mark Hyman, M.D. @drmarkhyman]

Nobody is coming to save you.

Not your insurance company. Not your doctor's 8-minute appointment. Not the FDA.

You are the only person who eats your meals, sleeps your hours, and lives in your body.

Own it completely or suffer the consequences slowly.
