@em_underwood @KnowableMag Read it—a fascinating story, thoroughly reported and well written.

I had an absurd amount of fun reporting this story for @KnowableMag , part of my ongoing fascination with #interoception. So much still to learn about the complex system of brain-bladder communication that controls urination! knowablemagazine.org/content/articl…

@newsbeagle @schneierblog Schneier and Raghavan also have a really interesting set of proposals for recovering privacy in our online lives, which they spelled out in the Dec. 2023 issue of @IEEESpectrum spectrum.ieee.org/data-privacy

It was my pleasure to work on this guest post with @schneierblog and Barath Raghavan. They have a really interesting take.

Could solar power beamed from space help the world head off climate change? For @IEEESpectrum, I worked with ESA's former head of power systems engineering, who has taken a hard look at the tech. His conclusion: don't bet on it. spectrum.ieee.org/space-based-so…

A new "Climate Parable" from @AnthropoceneMag: @eliotpeper looks back from the mid-22nd c. at how San Francisco led the reconsolidation of once-sprawling megacities into self-contained, megalithic structures surrounded by rewilded lands teeming with life. anthropocenemagazine.org/2023/04/victor…

@McAjb35 @MichaelWarbur17 I still play this song, and other Brubeck classics, every few weeks. Hitting the piano for about an hour most days! I play a Baldwin SF-10, same make as the late great DaveB played.

@HelgaNowotny “there is a gap between what we know and how we act”

A very warm welcome to our first #COSYJiR (COmplex SYstems Journalist in Residence)! @WaytGibbs will spend the next couple of weeks at the #CSHVienna to work on a new book. We look forward to a lively exchange! csh.ac.at/hub-programs/c… csh.ac.at/event/w-wayt-g…

Imaging a #BlackHole, one of the great mysteries of nature, is a stupendous achievement. If you want to know it's done, read this great article by @klbouman (Special thanks to @WaytGibbs) spectrum.ieee.org/the-inside-sto…

My latest short story, "Dodging the Apocalypse," has just been published by Anthropocene Magazine as part of their Climate Parables series. And it's funny too, or at least I hope it is. (You'll have to let me know if I succeeded.) You can read it here: anthropocenemagazine.org/2022/04/dodgin…

In the latest addition to our Climate Parables fiction series, the bestselling novelist Mark Alpert @AlpertMark broadcasts from Earth Day 2047. Asimov meets Crichton in this big-idea thriller. Check it out in @AnthropoceneMag. anthropocenemagazine.org/2022/04/dodgin… #solarenergy #CryptoMining
