This is the most remarkable story Ray Bradbury ever shared with me. He told it to me late one night, sitting in his den of antiquities and mementos. Take five minutes to read this. It’s pure magic. #Writing #Living #Creativity #RayBradbury #BookSky

"Whether Shannon’s conceptualization of information transmission ultimately proves to be a fundamental organizing principle of living systems remains uncertain..." It's like my book doesn't even exist.

Proposal submitted (DMS/NIGMS). Will it even get to the review stage? No one knows. But we have to keep submitting.

Putting text, figures, and figure captions into separate sections of the manuscript means that as a reviewer, I have to have three copies of the manuscript open at the same time if I don't want to endlessly scroll. Do better @pnas.org !

Sure thing, it's super legit that Joe Rogan would like to discuss my book "The Evolution of Biological Information" on his show "The Joe Rogan Experience". I should reply to info.joerogan.host@gmail.com right away, right?

Pop Quiz: Who said this: "“Crudely speaking, the amount of information is how much chaos is there in the system. But the mathematics comes out right, so to speak. The amount of information measured by entropy determines how much capacity to leave in the channel.”

I was very skeptical about the enlargement of the World Cup to 48 teams. But I have to say those "smaller" countries have delivered some fantastic games. Uruguay-Cape Verde, Ecuador-Curaçao, and more. Thoroughly entertaining.

Of all the harm this administration has done to US science, today's proposed changes to the way federal grants are awarded and administered is the most damaging yet. The text of the federal register document is impenetrably tedious by design, so here's an excellent summary of what it says.

Frankly, it's not even shocking anymore. Just look at the results for "what happens to information absorbed by a black hole"? We've known the answer to this for over 20 years (it was conclusively proved and published) and yet in the minds of physicists it's a big mystery. Frustrating.
