A psychiatrist on YouTube asked "should you detox your dopamine?" I thought it was a strange question, but if he's asking it, I figured some kind of protocol must be making the rounds on sm. Before you attempt to manipulate any of your neurochemicals, please watch this.

Keep your eyes open for lots of #planets in the night sky over the next several weeks (not just tonight)!
Venus 🌟 and Saturn 🪐 are in the SW at sunset.
Jupiter 👑 and Mars 🔴 are rising in the east at dusk and up all night.
All are easy to see, and Saturn & Jupiter look great through binoculars!

With a lot of tough things happening in the world riggr now, the misinformation that stars are dead when you wish on them feels very mean spirited 🥺 luckily, I looked into it and worked out that the stars we wish on are very much alive 🌟 🧪🔭
The stars we can see in the night sky are a lot closer and live a lot longer than you would think.

When you wish upon a star, is it already dead? An astronomer crunches the numbers

It’s impossible to build a comprehensive taxonomy of paranormal, pseudoscientific, fringe, & conspiratorial claims (etc!). It’s a vast ecosystem in constant roiling motion, subdividing, mutating, hybridizing, speciating… umbrella categories (“alternative medicine”) are useful but hand-wavingly broad

Next time I’m asked how my thesis is coming along I’m just going show this picture.
If this were a patient's home someone would be saying the paper content is a fire hazard; as it's the NY Review of Books Offices it's an expression of high intellect. And I love it.

Misogyny isnt just about a hatred of women but about sowing fear into them. It’s about planting a seed of distrust inside their minds so that they believe themselves to be less than what they are. It cuts away at their dreams.

Such a great experience leading a group of amazing scientists with the intention of true collaboration. No BS, no power struggles, just people who want to share their love for learning and exploration. I have caught myself smiling to myself, thinking about all of the impactful work we're doing.
