The animated visualizations on this site are 🚨 insane 🚨. Insane is, too, to think that the default medium of science communication remains the pdf 🤦🏼♂️
Was chatting to one of my most brilliant Physics students yesterday and he had no idea how mechanical watches work and was fascinated by the fact that they make use of such basic Physics principles and the history of how watchmakers have overcome various limitations on accuracy. Shared this with him
Mechanical Watch – Bartosz Ciechanowski

On the importance of reading (just not too much)
The real fun of being a neuroscientist, and maybe the key to asking and answering new questions, is to think big and take intellectual risks.
