Since 2009, we’ve used this account to share University updates, highlight research stories, and connect with the Leeds community far and wide.

However, in recent years - like many others - we’ve experienced a huge drop in engagement due to developments on the platform.

What is life?
• Dostoevsky: It’s hell.
• Socrates: It’s a test.
• Aristotle: It’s the mind.
• Nietzsche: It’s power.
• Freud: It’s death.
• Marx: It’s the idea.
• Picasso: It’s art.
• Gandhi: It’s love.
• Schopenhauer: It’s suffering.
• Bertrand Russell: It’s competition.
• Steve Jobs: It’s faith.
• Einstein: It’s knowledge.
• Stephen Hawking: It’s hope.
• Kafka: It’s just the beginning.

Each one must therefore give life a meaning according to how you one perceive.

Leonard Cohen said that if your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash…heretical as it may be for a writer to say it, I’m starting to think some of the best-lived lives leave no trace at all. That we’re at our best when we’re too engrossed in doing to recount or document.

[Kevin Mitchell @WiringTheBrain]

A lot of molecular and cell and developmental biology is concerned with figuring out the "functions" of various proteins. I'm starting to distrust that formulation...

Ben Affleck’s audio commentary on Armageddon - where he rips the plot apart - is a work of genius 😭
