I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again.

Ignore the haters, London is the 🐐
Graphic with the headline “London is the greatest city in the world” set against a bright view of the River Thames with the Shard, Tower Bridge and the city skyline. The text celebrates what makes London special: regularly voted the number one city in the world, incredible diversity with over 300 languages spoken, world-class transport, world leader in finance tech and life sciences, best museums and galleries many free to visit, world-leading nightlife, food sport and music for every taste, host to the world’s best sporting events, home to seven Premier League clubs, globally-ranked universities, a city where you can be yourself and love who you love, and a place for everyone.

Happy 3rd Birthday, Columbo! Thanks for all the joy you bring to us, and for teaching us that sometimes enjoying the present moment is better than the being distracted by the past and the future!

Prof Hannah Fry starting her DeepMind podcast with a striking observation:

“Almost no prerequisite to any major invention was invented with that invention in mind.”
(from Kenneth O. Stanley, “Why Greatness Cannot Be Planned: The Myth of the Objective”).

Love these podcasts!

Beautiful work from James Li’s lab, out in @natneuro.nature.com, dissecting the role of FOXP genes [mostly, FOXP1 and FOXP2] in regulating Purkinje cell diversity and cerebellar hemisphere developnent

FOXP genes regulate Purkinje cell diversity and cerebellar morphogenesis - Nature Neuroscience
The Li lab mapped molecularly distinct Purkinje cell (PC) subtypes in 3D and linked them to adult cerebellar architecture. They found that Foxp1/Foxp2 are essential for PC diversity and that Foxp1+ PC...

Why the loss of the Sycamore Gap Tree saw an outpouring of emotion
The sentencing of the two men who felled the Sycamore Gap Tree has brought back the incredibly strong emotions of the loss of such a world-famous, iconic national piece of history.

For noen kan et lite regnbueflagg bety at vi føler oss tryggere. Man ser flagget og tenker; « her kan jeg passe inn»
En enkel måte å vite at jeg også blir satt pris på.
