If you're in Cambridge this weekend, you must visit our Endless Stories exhibition at Cambridge University Library.

The FREE exhibition showcases an extraordinary collection of manuscripts collected by seventeenth-century visionary Thomas Van Erpe (also known as Erpenius).

■ A Love Poem Written on a Notebook #poem #poetry #lovequotes

"Pause for a moment of slumber, O mischief-stirring love,
And behold, with you, the entire cosmos falls into sleep.
Shedding tears, it bids farewell to the field of existence,
The sun, the moon, the stars, and all creation."

(Hâmid)

One of my big surprises of 2024 was that we are actually making a lot of progress (albeit messy and with a great deal of argument) in the science of the origin of life on Earth.

If you’re under 40, we’ll probably have a pretty good understanding of it in your lifetime.

2024 was the year of #WaferThinBooks. 366 daily posts with suggestions of (mostly) under-150 page long books to accompany our WaferThinBooks.com reading group.

I'll continue to post occasional recommendations, but the daily posts are at an end. I hope you found a few books worth reading.

I like that we all heard the way Toto inexpertly mangled the word “Serengeti” to fit the meter but the rest of the song goes so hard that we pretend it never happened.

Mineral Moon 🌙

Subtle colors in the Moon’s surface are due to concentrations of different minerals in the lunar regolith. Reddish brown areas are higher in iron, blue areas are higher in titanium. The colors can be brought out in photos. 🐡🔭

Seen a few folks astonished by my lack of support for ChatGPT and similar. Because AI, right?

Yeah, no. What we have right now is glorified autocorrect. Glorified autocorrect that takes the energy of an entire city to do what it does, plus half of Lake Erie to cool down while it's doing it.
