From the Upanishadic “Tamaso mā jyotir gamaya”—from darkness to light—to the neural plasticity through which learning reshapes the brain, a teacher transforms both consciousness and cognition. गुरुर्ब्रह्मा गुरुर्विष्णुः — Happy Teachers’ Day. 🙏

“As we enter the new year, I encourage the aging research community to uphold rigor and restraint, prioritizing well-validated evidence over premature or overstated claims. Our field advances best when conclusions are proportional to data.”

Does this map also reflect a classification of human beings on the planet? I think so!

In the poetic sense, 'hearts skipping a beat' can be considered a romantic phrase. In cardiac physiology, not as much. Happy Valentine's Day!!

I hope aging researchers will learn lessons. Too many scientists are already selling snake oil; the oldest is "Resveratrol". A bombshell investigation shows how scientific misconduct and fraud may have stalled treatments for Alzheimer's disease.

Are the Internet and AI affecting our memory? What the science says Search engines, GPS maps and other tech can alter our ability to learn and remember. Now scientists are working out what AI might do.

Why even physicists still don’t understand quantum theory 100 years on Quantum mechanics depicts a counter-intuitive reality in which the act of observation influences what is observed — and few can agree on what that means. (It makes me happy to know that I am not alone)

You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life. Fall in love with some activity and do it! Nobody ever figures out what life is all about and it doesn't matter. (Agree 100%) - R. Feynman

Here's to another year of uncovering the secrets of aging, where every wrinkle tells a story, every gray hair is a marker of wisdom, and every result reminds us we’re all just very sophisticated experiments in progress. Let 2025 bring breakthroughs to keep our research relevant!

Does the creation of AI mimic the idea of humans "playing God"? In my opinion, humans are unable to play "human" and some expect they are capable of making "AI God".

What should we do if AI becomes conscious? These scientists say it’s time for a plan www.nature.com/articles/d41.... The Majority of the author who has not succeeded in solving human consciousness now wasting their and public funding to understand AI consciousness.

Richard Feynman had an unusual hobby of safecracking. While working on the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos, he amused himself by figuring out how to open combination safes in the facility, much to the surprise and frustration of his colleagues

"cognitive neuroscience": How do you know if a scientific field needs complete rethinking or new innovative approaches: when you have more written books than a single good definition to explain the field? That is the state of "cognitive neuroscience is in"
