Thursday (6/18) at 3pm ET / 12pm PT, I will be going live on Instagram (@chubicki) to talk robots and human movement. How robots move like us (and how they don’t)! Join me live for an hour of chat and Q&A. See you then! @movementscience.bsky.social www.instagram.com/chubicki/

Do you know why the TASER was named the TASER? You’ll never guess, because it’s ridiculous.

I don’t know much about this Lego resale controversy but I’m surprised YouTuber “Reckless Ben” isn’t showing better judgment.

As a new grad student, I went to a conference and saw one of the senior greybeards of the field strutting around in an inside-out polo. On that day I discovered my new life goal.

As we bid farewell to @chubicki.bsky.social on #Survivor50, here's something I was very lucky to capture on Day 2 when visiting the Cila camp: A Dr. Hubicki lecture! I don’t know what’s better: Christian’s description of binary code, or everyone else’s reactions to getting taught math on the beach

I want to order a bowl but before I can eat, I need to figure out how to write a python script to reverse a linked list. Can you help?
Anonymous User | 13:20:18
Great question! To reverse a linked list in Python, you can use an iterative approach.
Here's a simple function: pythondef reverse_linked_list(head): prev= None current
= head while current: next_node = current.next
current.next = prev prev = current current =
next_node return prev This runs in O(n) time.
Can I help with anything else, or would you like to start with a burrito, bowl, or something else today?

Earlier today, IMSI’s @chubicki.bsky.social broke down the biomechanics behind one of Survivor’s toughest endurance challenges live on Survivor’s YouTube stream. From muscle fatigue to mental strategy, endurance is as psychological as it is physical. #Survivor50 #TeamHubicki #Biomechanics #STEM

What a flattering compliment from this fantastic interviewer, Mike Bloom. It was also one of my favorite ever interviews to give. Check out this interview I gave just hours before being marooned in Fiji for #Survivor50.
