“The one thing we know for sure, because we understand geometry, is that if everyone drives, nobody moves. Even if you’re a daily driver, it’s in your best interest for walking, biking & public transit to be as attractive as possible for everyone else.”

@JonRoom I find the Complete Anatomy app helpful for visualization. I'd recommend trying a few anatomy textbooks (ebooks) to find a preferred style. Also useful was building a spreadsheet of muscles grouped by their function/innervation and describing origin & insertion

Nearly finished my 2nd reading of Enlightenment Now by @SAPinker. Impossible to overpraise. Highly readable, staggeringly well-informed, every sentence a bullseye, & the message could hardly be more important. Please please please read it, recommend it, spread it around.

Confirmation bias is the "tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms one's preexisting beliefs or hypotheses." We should be skeptical when we say, "In my experience, I see tremendous success with intervention X" without some stats.

Thank you @sapinker for your fantastic talk about your book Enlightenment Now at the @SheldonianOxUni. Also delighted to have seen @RichardDawkins in the front row! Two big inspirations for me.
