N2 sleep promotes the occurrence of ‘aha’ moments in a perceptual insight task Sleep supports memory consolidation, but can it also facilitate memory reorganization? This study reveals that N2 sleep, but not N1 sleep during a nap, increases the likelihood of having an 'aha' mome...

My one and only reply from now on to anyone making fun of Spaniards for their siesta habits.

This sounds true to me

Poem title: At the Intersection The poem is divided into two overlapping circles. The left-hand circle is titled ‘me’ and the text reads: the day we went out to have an ice-cream, we said nothing just let our silence melt in the air as we walked across the common our love never tiring at all The right-hand circle is titled ‘you’ and the text reads: we should have talked it over but nothing ever seems to get in your fat head. You are so common that I wish we’d never met at all and I’d married Tim instead In the intersection of the poem (where the two circles overlap), the text reads: we have nothing in common at all

The mathematician John Venn was born on this day in 1834. To commemorate the occasion, here’s a poem in the form of a Venn diagram.

If I ever get rich I won't tell anyone, but there will be signs.

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

Not entirely sure what the lunch menu is, but it sure made fishing look easy.

If you were a gannet, where would you want to live?

We all need a rest sometimes.

Complex genetic variation in nearly complete human genomes - Nature Using sequencing and haplotype-resolved assembly of 65 diverse human genomes, complex regions including the major histocompatibility complex and centromeres are analysed.

Telomere-to-telomere DNA sequencing is set to transform the field of human genetics in coming years. For a flavour of what's coming, see this exciting work on nearly complete genomes of 65 individuals from diverse populations, out today in @nature.com by @glennislogsdon.bsky.social & colleagues. 👇🧬🧪

Remember folks, your AI is only as good as the training data and so it looks backwards rather than forwards….

Walking back home so deep in my thoughts that the corner shop guy stops me to ask: is everything ok? So this is my face after an actually very good day. I don't want to imagine how I look after a bad one.

A peaceful cityscape with a quay in the middle, tree-lined embankments on both sides, and modern skyscrapers in the distance, reflecting the golden light of sunset under a blue sky with scattered clouds.

Sometimes 8:30pm in London looks like this

"Tan absurdo y fugaz es nuestro paso por el mundo, que solo me deja tranquila el saber que he sido auténtica, que he logrado ser lo mas parecida a mí misma que he podido”.

skipping my vacation because chatgpt can simply summarize everywhere I would have visited for me

Sleep when the baby sleeps, eat when the baby eats, edit your manuscript when the baby edits their manuscript

The UK Govt just released its 10 year plan for the NHS and it is legitimately ambitious and exciting. Genomic population health features heavily... on the cover even! assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/686638...

AI summaries kill search traffic. This has been an obvious consequence of Google's AI summary strategy since its inception.

Apparently the training data is so valuable that Google is willing to risk the neck of the goose that lays golden eggs.

I've been to conference venues with worse views.

So many chairs. For people to enjoy themselves. For free. It often feels like you always have to spend money to have fun. Not if you are resourceful. The kind of resources that matter.

Why did cephalopods develop intelligence? And why, being so intelligent and cognitively complex, do they die so young? In this @cp-trendsecolevo.bsky.social ‪paper, the authors explore this paradox from an ecological and evolutionary perspective. www.cell.com/action/showP...

“The idea that taking walks, reading things unrelated to your research, and hanging out with strangers in a campus pub should be considered part of the serious process of thinking, but might well meet with skepticism in practice.”

Excited to launch our AlphaGenome API goo.gle/3ZPUeFX along with the preprint goo.gle/45AkUyc describing and evaluating our latest DNA sequence model powering the API. Looking forward to seeing how scientists use it! @googledeepmind

On my way home. Long day. Promise fulfilled.

So much promise in a summer morning.

For reasons, I ended up reading this day. I would be lying if it said it made my day, because my day was already top top, but it definitely brightned it even more.
