RIP Robert Trivers - the Einstein of evolutionary biology and one the greatest thinkers of our age. Among other things, Trivers came up with parental investment theory, reciprocal altruism theory, and parent-offspring conflict theory.

WHAT’S GOTTEN INTO YOU? began as a question: how did the particles we're made of find their way from the Big Bang to us? Thrilled that the first translations are out! Wonder is the same everywhere. Curious about science? This might answer questions you’ve never asked. #Science

I’ve posted about it before, but Barbara Tuchman’s A DISTANT MIRROR is one the best books I’ve ever owned. It’s a history of 14th century Europe, but also something far more than that: a fever dream of an apocalyptic future. You read it thinking, “Could this happen again?”

I'm thrilled to become a PAPERBACK writer: My book, a mind-bending journey of our atoms from the Big Bang to now is out today. It’s a lighter portable version of a book Simon Winchester calls “truly astonishing and eminently readable.” danlevitt.com/books/whats-go… #science #books

Previously unseen details of human brain structure revealed. Featured image: a single neuron with ~5,600 of the nerve fibers that connect to it. I feel overwhelming awe at nature's complexity and order. nih.gov/news-events/ni…

This tortoise understood it can go much faster with the help of a vehicle: it also learned how to make effective turns. [📹 Mh0MLiErcV8E97C]
