What these brains carry isn't just the silent history of anonymous lives but a molecular archive: the deep, hidden record of ancient human proteins.

Today is amazing grad student Paul LaFosse's last lab meeting.
Here's cool data he showed: Paul used 2p holographic optogenetics (laser stim) to select and stimulate this neuron in a working brain.
This ability to change neural activity is key to understanding brains. To understanding #AI too. 🧪

In the late 1960s, physicists argued that singularities might be surrounded by a region of churning chaos, where space and time haphazardly grow and shrink. It was dubbed a “Mixmaster universe,” after a line of kitchen appliances. https://buff.ly/4kaLDWZ

Feel this in my bones with embroidery art too. Takes me hours to finish a piece and it's not all stitching. It's all the little things and behind the scenes stuff like prepping fabric and getting the right supplies. I don't just click my fingers and *poof* project is done. Art takes time!
you have to understand that art is not magic and is not the product of some divine spark of imagination possessed by the chosen few. art is a several hours long process in which you use a pen to iteratively refine shapes and colors until they turn into a thing you want to say to someone’s eyeballs.

I want to think about the geometry of weaving. Normally we use 90-degree warp and weft, but it doesn’t have to be that way. I wonder if there are advantages in texture or strength to other geometries. Certainly there are examples (knitting, crochet, macrame).
