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 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.”
