Diseases aren’t a fact of life. They’re problems we can solve.

A rallying cry from @salonium on reinventing the conditions for progress. 👏

It's finally here! I gave a TED talk in April in Vancouver, and it was released online today.

You can watch it here:

@ThomasJamesGray so good to see you rockin' the @atptour. Hope it's the first of many!

Honestly, science should had its head in shame. This is plagiarism on a cellular scale.

[Natalie Wolchover @nattyover]

Bacteria move around using a molecular machine called the flagellar motor that rotates faster than the flywheel of a race car engine and switches directions in an instant. After 50 yrs, scientists have finally figured out how it works. “My lifelong quest is now fulfilled.” Link⤵️

Trump is being told by GOP senators invade Greenland, you will be impeached and removed from office. Encouraging.

[Lost Lectures @TheLostLectures]

Gearing up for Greenland.

Following the discovery of a near-complete carnyx at an Iron Age hoard in west Norfolk, we hear a demonstration from trombone player Professor John Kerry.

These animal-headed bronze instruments were used by Celtic tribes across Europe to inspire warriors into battle.

@SG_Posters @SummerRay These are amazing! 💫

[Lost Lectures @TheLostLectures]

That’ll do. *packs suitcase

An exoplanet 40 light years from Earth may have the right conditions for life. The planet, TRAPPIST-1e, is billions of years older than Earth, so complex life could have evolved there. https://t.co/H2D2ULgD0C

[Roman Sheremeta 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @rshereme]

This is the right move.

Zelensky won’t be flying to Trump alone — he’ll be joined by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and other top European leaders.

His plane has already departed with a stop in Brussels. Media report that NATO Secretary General Rutte, French President Macron, UK Prime Minister Starmer, German Chancellor Merz, Italian Prime Minister Meloni, and Finnish President Stubb may also fly to Washington. More names could be added.

A united front. Europe stands with Ukraine.

This is such a massive flex. MIT lab creates 36M AI generated theoretic compounds, 2 of which now strong candidates vs. drug resistant MRSA and gonnorhoaea. We've been getting smacked by drug resistant bacteria, but now AI could be turning the tables. https://t.co/zLSoYNah3o

This is insanely hardcore

[Lost Lectures @TheLostLectures]

This is bloody great talk. Space bending, mind expanding storytelling at its finest.

[Marcus Chown @marcuschown]

It's mind-blowing to think that 80,000+ people have now watched the video of my black hole talk at the Royal Institution. There were only 400 there on the night!

David Silver says human data is AI's fossil fuel. "We mine it and burn it in our LLMs."

It gave us a head start -- but it will run out. The sustainable path is reinforcement learning: systems that learn from experience, generate more, and keep learning.

[John Burn-Murdoch @jburnmurdoch]

NEW: The actions of Trump and Vance in recent weeks highlight something under-appreciated.

The American right is now ideologically closer to countries like Russia, Turkey and in some senses China, than to the rest of the west (even the conservative west).
