I would like to welcome the US paperback version of WE ARE ELECTRIC to the family. Out today with a new afterword about gut electricity, the possibility of electrical tests for gastroparesis, and the little electric stomach that lives in your brain! amazon.com/We-Are-Electri…

First it was the plants that seemed to be unaccountably smart. Then came the fungi, the bacteria, the paramecia, the cells -- evidence is piling up that things can do brainy things without having brains. But what does it all mean? My latest for @Noema noemamag.com/a-radical-new-…

Breakthrough proton battery beats lithium limit, boasts 3,500 charging cycles interestingengineering.com/energy/breakth…

@bookofjoe Thanks so much for your kind words, that really means a lot. It did cost me most of my sanity.

Just finished "We Are Electric" — tremendously interesting. OMG the amount of effort by you that must have been required to create it is insane. @Sally_Adee

@mrjcleaver I haven't seen anything like this. However, one topic I am really interested in is lipid rafts in cell membranes. It's still an early topic, and a bit contentious. But these can be destabilised by anaesthesia and possibly (possibly!) diet.

@Sally_Adee could microplastics mess with voltage shift, depolarize, have cells shrug off its electrical identity? Has it been studied?

Can the hive mind please help me with a dead end? I'm looking for info on a 70s-era researcher called Jean Pierre Biscar. He was a physics prof at U of Wyoming from 1969-75. If you know someone who knew him, or understood his theories, please get in touch galvanotaxis@proton.me

Available TODAY! Happy Pub Day to the paperback edition of WE ARE ELECTRIC! @Sally_Adee @HachetteBooks

Finally found some time to binge @cragcrest's new podcast, Uncertain. It's excellent! This is my favourite episode. It's about finding the strength not to double down when you're wrong. Which is really hard. scientificamerican.com/podcast/episod…

This month, We Are Electric is in paperback! The US version has a nifty afterword about the electric signals that drive your gut and how they (may) interface with the electric signals in the gut/brain axis. It's out on June 11!

What is the difference between electroceuticals and bioelectronic medicine and neuromodulation? If one works, will they all? It took me 6 months to untangle this terminological rat king. Eternal gratitude to @rcourt for guiding me out of the rabbit holes technologyreview.com/2024/05/30/109…

@ideapharma thanks so much, I hope it meets expectations!

Always great to leave a conference with a book recommendation- this one by @Sally_Adee (from Roisin Owens) looks fascinating #ABI24

A 'dormant' black hole is one that is not currently consuming any matter. That means it is hungry. Do not approach. newscientist.com/article/242677…

Currently being eaten alive by that stage of life where you're barely in touch with your oldest, best friends so you can really maximise your focus on all the grimmest and most tedious makework life has to offer. Yes, I will be picking up this book.

An experimental Alzheimer's treatment involving sounds and flickering lights may slow cognitive decline by ramping up our brain's waste disposal networks. #Echobox=1709264083" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">newscientist.com/article/241959…

By the way, if this really interests you, the bioelectricity researcher whose work is profiled in the article - Michael Levin - has just started a site where he writes for general audiences, not just academics. thoughtforms.life

The study of this "basal cognition" - and its electrical underpinnings - will dethrone the nervous system as the center of all intelligence, just as Copernicus demoted us from geocentrism.

This very good article is a bit undersold by its headline. scientificamerican.com/article/brains…

@KFosterUPenn Thank you so much - I liked that review too. Hyperbole is a problem - it's hard to balance genuine excitement at what's possible with the limitations that are still very much an open question for the science (and the engineering).

@Sally_Adee Nice (brief) review in the NY Times, from a year ago. From first glance seems to be a readable and decent book. Difficult for nonspecialists to do given the amount of misinformation and hyperbole to be found on the topic. nytimes.com/2023/02/28/boo…

We Are Electric is going to be out in paperback in the UK on February 1. Lighting up the winter gloom with electric pink!
