[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

This year’s #NobelPrize laureate Anne Carson was born in 1950 in Toronto, Canada. In 1981, she published her doctoral thesis in Classics entitled ‘Odi et Amo Ergo Sum’, and has, throughout her entire career, combined poetry writing with translation work and teaching at various universities.

Almost all her literary production has centred upon the intersection between the philologist’s obsession with words and the poet’s desire for new meaning. She has herself identified the etymology of words as the starting point for all her work.

Our bodies create ~330 billion new cells every day through cell division. Andy Moore at our Janelia Research Campus captured that process in stunning detail — a feat that earned him 4th in the '26

ちょっとモーツァルトの22番協奏曲を思い出して見ていた。フィナーレの朗らかな変ホ長調のスキップが最後の最後で少し感傷的にその主題をハ短調に変えて振り返るところが好きなのです。#モーツァルト #ピアノ協奏曲第22番

A historical milestone! 👏

Similarly, we have Manhattan Henge #Manhattanhenge

Manhattanhenge
as I come to acknowledge
is a coordination of many

The sun
The earth
And a metropolis

Its dwellers
Their ways of being
Their ways of seeing

And a touch of poetry:
"And we are put on this earth a little space
that we might learn to bear the beams of love"

The film The Odyssey is ultimately one man’s odyssey—Christopher Nolan’s, masterfully crafted in his cinematographic language.

[Los Angeles Review of Books @LAReviewofBooks]

"The film in turn asks: if we reimagine a foundational narrative of our civilization in an age of serious crisis, how can authenticity be anything close to a viable goal?"

This is an incredible story how a scientist living with the condition of T1D works relentlessly towards a breakthrough over decades.

[Yale University @Yale]

More than 30 years of research have led to a new treatment for children with Type 1 diabetes.

Yale researcher Kevan Herold helped lead the clinical trial behind teplizumab, an immunotherapy now approved by the FDA for children with Stage 3 Type 1 diabetes.

“This is paradigm shifting for the field,” Herold said.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.”

The great sentence ever written. On its 250th birthday, Walter Isaacson dedicated a book to scrutinize and appreciate its words and concepts.

In 1776, visions of liberty and justice were fraught with compromise, conflict and contradiction. Today, the founders’ words still shape national identity, writes Simon Schama: https://t.co/TV1d3qcZGr
