“I can simulate the sensory experiences of a bat. I can learn to echolocate, I can hang from a tree upside down. I can spend my day sleeping and my night searching for insects. But I will never know what it’s like for a bat to be a bat.” w/ @JackieHiggins_ bit.ly/3i5v8wG

In our first virtual Auditorium event, guest Samora Pinderhuges shared his process on creating music. "The sound always comes first for me. That process starts at the piano, then lyrics, words, and then language. I try to build out a world through sound." #soundtherapy

Researchers have found that the shapes of #fingerprints are influenced by the #genes responsible for limb development instead of skin patterning. The study could help us better understand the association between genes and phenotypical traits. doi.org/10.1016/j.cell…
