Choose France for Science!
Moved my lab to France 4 years ago — one of my best decisions.

Good life ✅
Strong talent pool ✅
Decent funding ✅
Byzantine bureaucracy ✅ (not much worse than UK/US, often better than Southern/Eastern EU)

To my friends I struggle to convince about the lack of our free will.
I saw a seagull in the night sky, lit by city lights. For a moment, I thought it was a shooting star. That thought felt spontaneous—but it wasn’t.

First Neuralink patient at University College London Hospital. Great news for these patients.

The initial technology was largely developed in universities, with public funds.

I hope there will be competition in this space (but I worry that the market is small).

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.
