@martinpicardenergy.bsky.social and I started The Science and Experience of Energy Substack not just to explore the science but to build a community to experience it together.
In our latest piece, we invite you to do the same.
Even in busy lives, there’s always a moment to notice your energy state
❤️
Health isn't just about the coordinated efforts of our immune systems. The foundations of health & well-being are multi-faceted, & mitochondria likely play a much bigger role than I realized. This Substack from @martinpicardenergy.bsky.social & @msahsorin.bsky.social has been eye-opening! #scicomm 🧪
Simplicity > complexity.
As biologists, we may be attracted to complexity because we study complex systems. But going down the rabbit hole we see that fundamentally the most simplest networks give rise to the most complex emergent behaviors.
Grateful to be able to see the beauty of our planet on full display. #Auroras
Beautiful time spent with two of my favorite humans and scientists @msahsorin.bsky.social and @martinpicardenergy.bsky.social! Thanks to @acnporg.bsky.social #energy ✨
Inspiring what consistency and thinking across disciplines can do to better understand our states of being.
“If you knew every last detail about my brain processes, you still wouldn’t know what it’s like to be me”. @heddamorch.bsky.social
Lovely read on the why our subjective experience may not be reducible to neural circuitry alone. Link: www.scientificamerican.com/article/is-c...
How much can we say about the complexity of brains and minds from low-scale, molecular and sub-cellular events? Here's my drawing of Cajal's Demon, an entity that tries to do that @manlius.bsky.social @lmprida.bsky.social @mkhochb.bsky.social @drmichaellevin.bsky.social @wiringthebrain.bsky.social

Thank you Marie for holding a (digital) space for one of the most *real* conversations I've had in a long time.
“Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.” — Bertrand Russell
Temporal entrainment of mechanical cues.
Remember the feeling of being comforted by a loving, rhythmic tap, this is what world-modeling looks like. A predictive model is created & later experienced as familiarity. Even if pats are not heartbeats, stimulus generalization is enough to bridge the gap
We miss you too!! Merry Christmas 🎄❄️
From our non-neural, intelligent slime mold to yours, Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!
May your data be normally distributed, your revisions minor, and your model systems predictive.
Oh Dave, this tickles my brain. Well said.

Happy Winter Solstice ❄️
Let's celebrate the extra photons that will enter lives from this day forward.
❄️ Christmas heightens emotion, from hope and giving to nostalgia and wonder. But does this conflict with Stoicism, often seen as austere? | https://bit.ly/4nYkreE
This article shows how Stoic ethics, grounded in human vulnerability, fosters care, community, and deep feeling.
Little electric field generators...
Posting this here because it feels like the right place for it.
I’m encouraged by the willingness to reflect on how we do #Science. Structure and rigor matter, but so does preserving the creative space where new ideas can actually form and drive impact.

As a lab trying to understand how #physical signals drive biological #patterning, we’ve been thinking a lot about #energy and #information.
Are energy and information fundamentally distinct, or do they collapse into a single underlying principle once you look closely enough?
Any thoughts?
Chemically emergent or not, spatiotemporal patterns are foundational across #biology.
Curiosity is innate in all of us.
I’m hopeful we can build a world where every mind has the freedom to pursue knowledge, and where difference is seen as a source of insight that strengthens our understanding of life.
Why are we collectively okay with being chronically uncomfortable?
🙋🏿♀️ Can confirm.
How do these come to you?! Hilarious. I love your brain!
Just leaving this right here....👀
Ah - sorry! Thank you for sharing the link.
Isn’t it interesting that both chlorophyll and heme, 2 most important pigments of life, share the same #quantum architecture?
Beautiful to think that the 2 organelles (chloroplasts and mitochondria) born of endosymbiosis operate on this shared, quantum-informed design.
