Based on the political activities from Elon Musk and the resulting changes to X I will stop all my activities here from now on. X can no longer serve as a solid platform for science communication.

Just attending a 3-day workshop on the danger of abrupt ocean circulation changes. Discussions are quite worrying. E.g. in 35 to 45 % of high quality models, convection in the open North Atlantic collapses in the 2030s due to #globalheating. -> Major climate disruption. ☹️

[Bial Foundation @bialfoundation]

🧠 In the last Session of the 14th Symposium of the #BIALFoundation dedicated to “The edges of creativity”, the guest speakers led us on a journey from cinema as a disruptive art form that makes it possible to invent reality, to how psychedelic drugs can enhance creativity in musical improvisation, ending up in a crucial question: can artificial intelligence be creative?

The morning ended with a keynote lecture about creative experiences in extreme contexts such as near-death or situations involving paranormal phenomena 💡

📷 Look here at some of the moments of this session, and keep tuned in for more about this last day.
