Forging the Way
NEO, BCIs, and Neurorehabilitation
“Neuroscientists have discovered a much greater capacity for neuroplasticity than what traditional wisdom suggested. Whether in the capacity for learning new information or recovering from injuries to existing pathways, our minds are proving that neurodevelopment is not an age-limited phenomenon, but rather a lifelong one.”

One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish – Megafish?
“If I asked you to imagine the largest animals on earth, what would you see? […] It turns out these giants can all be considered “megafauna”, a term for especially large animals. Megafauna are often charismatic and particularly treasured by humanity, making them frequent conservation priorities. Despite this appreciation for our large-bodied brethren, however, we often overlook a fascinating group of organisms: freshwater megafauna.”

“The ice layers of the Northern Hemisphere are teeming with microscopic life. What happens when those layers start to melt, and how worried should we be?”

The Missing Layer:
Why Pandemic Preparedness Has No Evolutionary Intelligence Architecture
“Viruses and humans are ancient adversaries. The human immune system has become increasingly capable of mounting tailored responses to pathogens, and in turn viruses weaponize rapid evolution to evade host defences. Successful elimination of a viral infection requires finding the constraints in a virus’s life cycle, the positions it cannot change without falling apart.”

We Can Measure Everything, but We Don’t Know What to Ask
“Modern neuroscience has evolved the capability to manipulate neural activity at unprecedented scale, yet the time from experimental conception to interpretable data still spans months to a year. Tackling difficult questions surrounding brain function often involves a multi-layered approach that lies at the intersection of multiple analytical frameworks including biochemistry, biophysics, cellular biology, anatomy, computation, and psychology.”
