A man spends 50 years teaching at MIT.
He knows his time is running out.
So he records one last lecture — everything he knows, distilled into a single hour.
He died 5 months later.
This is that lecture.
The most important hour you'll watch this week. 👇

Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of chatting with Amardeep Parmar about some life choices, Mitiga, and the entrepreneurial journey. It was fun, and I hope you can enjoy it too.

I don't have a podcast, but I do have the good fortune to have regular discussions with some very smart and creative people, and sometimes I record. It occurred to me that others may want to hear some of it. They're going to be put here: drmichaellevin.org/resources… ; many more to

Jamie Davies and I discuss agential materials and engineering with them for synthetic morphology. Next up (later this Spring), how *evolution* engineers with agential materials (spoiler: interesting parallels between those 2).

Say cheese! 📸
Today, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory caught the Sun "smiling." Seen in ultraviolet light, these dark patches on the Sun are known as coronal holes and are regions where fast solar wind gushes out into space.
ALT Satellite imagery from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory shows the Sun in ultraviolet light colorized in light brown. Dark patches on the Sun's surface are in the shape of a smile.
:) perfect end of the week
This blew up. I don’t have a Soundcloud, but hey, why don’t you read about molecules in Space? nature.com/articles/s42004-0…

Yes! :) A lot of limited thinking in funding science spin outs is due to not reading enough science fiction :)
I've come to believe that a lot of limited thinking in cog sci, phil. of mind, etc. is due to not reading enough science fiction. So, I'm going to shift for a while from tweeting the non-fiction books to the sci-fi section. As before, this is not in any specific order, just

Given all the exciting advances in #bioelectricity recently, here's a thread to remind us of the remarkable giants on whose shoulders we stand. None of this would be possible without them. Of course I can't mention everyone in this brief, personal glimpse - I am focusing on
