I just realised I never posted the paper I co-authored on here!! This was initially my 3rd year research project during university and transitioned into a project in my own time. First author was a PhD student looking to get more writing experience. doi.org/10.1071/RJ25008

Genuinely dreamt of visiting china half my life and slowly over the last few years ive seen everything that made me want to go become nothing more than a set for instagram pics :( I would still love to go, but theres no point if im not seeing the real context of the attraction

China’s tourist sites now increasingly feature cheap, garish objects like plastic flowers and oversized plush toys crammed into natural landscapes and on centuries-old temple eaves. Rustic towns by day have become neon nightmares by night. Million-year-old stalactites drenched in rainbow lights have been reduced to gaudy karaoke sets. Chinese travelers are noticing the tacky trend — and they’re not happy. In April, netizens slammed a cheap, plastic, multicolored heart sculpture amid the salt lakes and snow-capped mountains of the country’s northwestern Qinghai province as an “eyesore.” The scenic area responded that they had had it professionally designed because they believed some visitors wanted more photo spots to “check in,” or daka, a phenomenon in which tourists mark where they’ve been by taking and posting photos of themselves at a location. But travelers were not appeased. The heart sculpture set off a wave of online backlash toward tasteless tourist spots, with a top comment on WeChat reading, “Our Eastern aesthetics are almost disappearing in front of these cookie-cutter influencer-style tourist spots. It’s really disrespectful to the aesthetics of our ancestors.” Read more: ow.ly/QzqU50ZoabO

@sam_kritch U can come be my seed counting guy (I do not have the power to do this), the job involves counting out 20 seeds and putting them in a grid on a petri dish for me. I find it tedious and fiddly and I wish out could get a seed counting guy instead

anyone know a job where: - I can use my hands a fair amount, rather than my mind (my mind is tired) - I don't have to have any particular skill with my hands (I don't) - I can interact with intelligent people sometimes - It's not bartending, nor art, it is useful

@chaandmami at the most basic level, you learn it early because a lot expands upon it down the line so everyone should have a foundation

i believe i was bad at science growing up bc from the deepest part of my heart—i don’t think i needed to know all that. why did we need to know so much about atoms and other subatomic particles. in my adulthood i don’t use that knowledge unless it’s in like a poetic sense

Yet you still can't make anything consistent that's over 15 seconds. Not that this one is consistent... Three hands, the shrimps get decapitated then grow their heads back, the mortar doesn't do anything to the mint and lime etc.

I'm devastated, because my 8 year old phone's battery died and now I need to buy a new one. At least I am not polluting the environment that much because I only get a new phone every 6-8 years or so.

In not-so-leisure hours, I tend to half-dwell in his lectures such as thoughtfully listening while sewing, washing dishes, journaling, researching for final project, or reading. The time afterward usually spent revisiting and reviewing my thoughts on them. My impeccable routines
Millie Marconi@MillieMarconnni

A Stanford neuroscientist who spent decades tracking stress hormones in wild baboons across Kenya recorded 36 hours of lectures on why humans fall in love, worship gods, and kill each other, then Stanford uploaded every hour to YouTube for free. The course is called Human Behavioral Biology and its by Robert Sapolsky. Sapolsky is a Stanford neuroscientist and primatologist who spent decades of his life tracking wild baboons across Kenya, recording exactly which animals developed stress related disease and which ones didn't. He's a MacArthur Fellow, one of the so called genius grant winners, and the author of Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers, a book built entirely around one observation. A zebra can sprint from a lion, survive, and go straight back to grazing like nothing happened. A human can sit safely on a couch and destroy their own body just by replaying a memory. The course was filmed in 2010. Twenty five lectures, most running past ninety minutes, adding up to about 36 hours total. Every single hour sits on YouTube right now with no login, no fee, and no catch. Here's what makes it different from a normal biology class. Sapolsky opens the entire course by attacking categorical thinking, the habit of sorting people and behavior into clean boxes so the brain doesn't have to work as hard. He proves it in the first ten minutes by reading out a string of random phone numbers and asking students to write down as many as they remember. Almost nobody gets past a handful. Then he points out that the same brain that just failed at seven random digits somehow holds an entire language, a full childhood, and every person it has ever loved. The categories we lean on hardest are usually the least reliable ones. Then he goes after one of the most repeated lies in biology. Every nature documentary has shown wildebeest crossing a river full of crocodiles, and the narrator always calls it sacrifice, the herd protecting its young for the good of the species. Sapolsky calls this the worst urban myth in evolution. Watch the footage closely and the herd isn't sacrificing anyone. It's shoving the oldest, weakest animals to the front and hiding behind them. Nothing evolved to help the species. Everything evolved to help one animal's genes get copied one more time. By the second half of the course, Sapolsky is walking students through the actual biology behind falling in love, why testosterone doesn't cause aggression the simple way people assume it does, and how conditions inside the womb can shape a person's political attitudes decades before they ever vote. None of it plays like a lecture. It plays like a man who genuinely cannot get over how strange the human animal is, and needs you to see it too. He later expanded these ideas into a book called Behave, one of the most ambitious attempts ever made to trace a single human action, pulling a trigger or reaching out to comfort a stranger, backward through every layer of biology that led up to that one second. The book came after. The course came first, and it's still sitting there for free, explaining more about why you do what you do than most people learn in an entire degree.
