🧵 Tonight's SFI Community Lecture by 2x Miller Scholar @Andrea_Wulf begins in just a few minutes!

Follow this thread for the streaming link and highlights from the talk. (Sorry, but this recording will not be available to view afterward...)
Talk starts now with an intro by SFI Prof @C4_Computation:


Q - Flack: "Some of you might wonder how a talk on Humboldt connects to #ComplexityScience."

A - Humboldt: "Knowledge of the chain of connection....the perception of these relations."
Who was #AlexanderVonHumboldt?

"A man who was so restless he said he was chased by 10,000 pigs... He spent his entire inheritance on a five-year voyage of South America. They called him 'The Shakespeare of the Sciences.'"

No dijo eso.
"He who is not content to look, like a savage, at the phenomena of nature as disconnected, cannot any longer believe that man is the work of a separate act of creation... Man is the co-descendant with other mammals of a common progenitor".
“The Descent of Man” p807.
Me parece mala onda decir en su cumpleaños que #CharlesDarwin dijo cosas que no dijo.
Su trabajo fue monumental y es valiosísimo. Pero es sobre el origen de las especies por medio de la selección natural, también conocido como la evolución biológica.
No sobre origen de la vida.
Específicamente evitó discutir el tema en su libro, en 1861: "science as yet throws no light on the far higher problem of the essence or origin of life".
Como científico riguroso que era, no se iba a poner a especular sobre cosas que no se podían explorar experimentalmente.

#NikolaTesla el nuevo ídolo de las masas ensalzado por Hollywood y el mainstream.
Si se quiere tener una perspectiva correcta y entender los porque del #NuevoOrdenMundial instaurado a partir del 2020 es obligado tener en cuenta la doctrina #Eugenesica desde #Malthus en adelante. Image
Tras la muerte de #CharlesDarwin en 1883, su primo Sir Francis #Galton denominó #EUGENESIA (del griego “buen origen” o “buen linaje”) a la disciplina encargada de la mejora biológica de la especie humana. Image
De esta manera irrumpe con fuerza el #eugenismo, movimiento político e ideológico que predica una mejora cualitativa y biológica de la población, frente a una posible mejora moral o cultural. Image

For the year 2022, I aim to read one research (/review) article per day, every day. This thread will summarise the essence of the paper. While oncology is my field of interest, I will also explore papers from other domains and classics, of course. Bon voyage.📋 #APaperADay
Day 1 of #APaperADay challenge. I read this classic piece of Dr Barbara McClintock where she described the transposons. It was a seminal discovery breaking the age-old concept of the linear arrangement of genes like beads on a string.

She described such mobile elements, Ac (Activator) and Ds (Dissociation) loci, in maize. These loci change their position which would reversibly alter the gene expression once inserted in the chromosomes. The removal would restore the gene function. #APaperADay

0/Fui a las 🏝#Islas #Galápagos🐢 para una semana

me quede 1️⃣5️⃣ días

Y ahí seguiría, si pudiera 🤿

▶️Esto es lo que vi/viví/escuché y aprendí

Relato ilustrado (con el 📲#mojo) de un #viaje que te mete en una

burbuja de🦎#naturaleza #conservación #sostenibilidad #animales🦈
1/La burbuja crece mientras asciende

estalla al contacto con su objetivo

Desde el fondo del #mar, quien la ha lanzado desafía al bañista

Sube, gira sobre si mismo y vuelve a la carga

Sonríe para la foto. Amaga con tragarse la camara

Después, se va. Ágil y veloz. Como llegó
2/Es la rutina bajo el agua

Te sumerges y aparecen

Te meten en su burbuja. Te sacan de la realidad

Se está bien ahí. El mundo no pesa Image

1/ 🧵🎥 Chronic Pain

#Pain comes in all shapes & sizes. Let’s explore how we process pain. Watch & Listen to what Anderson Cooper tells Stephen Colbert about #grief and #suffering: “You can’t have happiness without having loss and suffering.”
2/ My lucid & kind patient (pic w written perm) uses scalding water as a coping mechanism for abdominal pain from pancreatitis. He wants to share his rationale.

#MedTwitter #ChronicPain #nurse
3/ Before I share what he told me, I first want to make my mindset as his #physician clear: My first job is to believe in him. Then to understand him. Then to devise a plan to help him.

#OSHO #hypnosis

The #unconscious #mind is nine times bigger than the #conscious; it has tremendous treasures, all the memories of your past.

Below the unconscious, there is the collective unconscious. One can descend into the collective unconscious also with somebody’s help.
The master of Mystery School will take you slowly towards the unconscious and the collective #unconscious.

In your collective unconscious, you have memories of your #PastLives as animals, as birds.
Below the collective unconscious is the #cosmic #unconscious.

Slowly, slowly one can go deeper and deeper, and the cosmic unconscious has #memories of your being trees, rosebushes, stones.
