No one noticed, Joe Root didn't notice... Warner didn't notice... Chris Rogers has had to pull away at the strikers end" 😭😂 Almost 11 years on and this is still funny 😅

Fascinating paper just published in Science. The authors analyze the career trajectories of top performers across multiple domains, including Nobel laureates, elite chess players, Olympic gold medalists, and more. Their central finding challenges a common belief. Intensive, single-discipline training at a young age does confer an early advantage, but this advantage fades over time. By contrast, individuals exposed to multidisciplinary practice early in life tend to start more slowly. Yet, over the long run, they are more likely to reach world-class performance, eventually overtaking early specialists, who often plateau just below the very top. An important reminder that breadth early on can be a powerful investment in long-term excellence. Link to the paper in the first reply.

Not surprised Trump was so emphatic. It’s all we spoke about last night. We have to get our oil and gas out of the North Sea. I'm serious about energy security cutting energy bills. We have to make the most of our natural resources. It’s mad to leave billions of £ in there.

Trump: Shakespeare, Tolkien, Orwell… incredible people. Unbelievable people like we have rarely seen before, probably won't see again.
