Great read, highly recommended.

Loved this story, Claire!! As a neuro phd this is the kind of article that reminds me why I love the world of the brain and its amazing array of researchers and questions.

Really cool paper!!

I saw a cyber truck with a big “Waste Management” sticker on it. Totally got me!!

At work one of the huge AI/crypto profs was super excited about deepseek for these reasons today. He ran through a lot of examples of biz models that seemed more promising to me than what we’ve gotten so far (caveat: not my opinion per se, but is a sentiment some can have)

I worked with Pete for a few years in my last job and really love the guy. I think this could be a great move for them and will be super interesting whatever happens!

lol at shoutout to Sugarfish!

Great read!

You know, you make a good point I’ve been meaning to up my screentime.

Unbelievable

Yes!! A Dan White Post on Bluesky!!

So excited to see you here, Jaron. We met YEARS ago at a lab meeting at USC with Antonio Damasio and I still think about it. Hope we can continue the conversation!

Super interesting! Not my field per se, but since I teach Intro to Entrepreneurship I see a ton of useful lessons coming from this.

May be the first under-ratiod serving size I’ve ever seen lol!

Thanks Simon! If you (or anyone) want to shoot me an email I can share the pdf.

A newspaper article cover page discussing gratitude and loneliness.

A screenshot of a quote from the article.

Gratitude is pretty much undefeated. Super fun to chat with Sam as she prepared this article on gratitude and loneliness. Spoiler: focusing on gratitude can help us cope with tough times, including loneliness, but it takes practice and effort.

I wrote this paper in grad school and I am super proud it held up well. Good job past Glenn!!

We found that it’s more than the thought that counts — how much we need a gift is often a better predictor of gratitude than effort, and that gratitude is felt alongside a wide range of other emotions.

It’s modeled after retinotopic models of visual space to allow a testable model across a range of interactions. Basically a scalable multi dimensional model of gratitude that makes robust predictions for how someone will feel after receiving a gift.

A grateful space: understanding a range of gratitude experiences Gratitude is a central topic in positive psychology due to its association with life satisfaction, well-being, and optimism. Though the aftereffects of gratitude have been carefully examined, schol...

New paper published Friday!!

Gratitude has many benefits but relatively little is known about what makes us grateful and how gratitude is felt alongside other emotions. My new paper builds a model for studying and predicting gratitude — called Gift-Space.

This is applied lean methodology wherein companies search for a business model. It’s a good model but usually done, I dunno, before you have a 100b valuation…

Such a great article. No mention of Sapolsky’s “Determined?” I was hoping for a bit more of a rejoinder as I enjoyed Bob’s book a ton but disagreed with a lot of the conclusions… Will definitely read Free Agents!

It’s going down folks!

Amazing!! Some great folks to follow if you haven’t, and stoked to meet new neuro people on here. I’ve learned a ton on the ‘sky since joining. (What a difference from the hellsite where the only notifications come from bots and spam)

It’s been awesome so far. Lots of new folks I’d never met and people are very open to chatting and discussing. Definitely growing!

Out of defiance I will only be submitting four letter words to wordle.

Majorly celebrating that I just had a paper accepted after sitting on it for ten freaking years. Literally ONE round of very useful and addressable revisions and it’s in one of my favorite journals no less. So stoked!!!

A new law in California protects consumers’ brain data. Some think it doesn’t go far enough. Tech companies collect brain data that could be used to infer our thoughts—so it’s vital we get legal protections right.

Good! I have a Muse EEG headset (it is mediocre) and I’m glad to see the data from it will be protected even a little bit.

(Sorry to glom on an unrelated post but:) Do you know if they finished/met their recent fundraising round?

The introduction of Universal Pre-K in various states and cities was linked to an increase in business applications and the overall number of business establishments.

(also effects on enrollment and maternal labor supply, as in other studies)
