Researchers should prioritize knowing what should be prioritized: finding the truthiest truths to solve problems at hand. And how to document such that the records can survive an audit, so the work survives people. What I am concerned by: innovations that work but don't make it to patients in need.

Started reading the book and yes, it is my cup of tea. And cup of coffee. And cup of water. I do have a digital watch and ideas about the movements of small green pieces of paper. I am also very happy for very much of the time. A charming existence in this universe.

Paris Baguette is at the intersection of absurdity and utility. It is not Parisian, it’s South Korean. People mostly go there for pastries, not baguettes. It is neither very Paris nor very baguette, yet Paris Baguette has scaled to many locations around the world.

So much serendipity, many random-ish good things float into my life. Today, I found a banana stand in Midtown Manhattan! Eduardo stands there and gives free bananas to the humans! He says it’s their way of giving back to the community! I say this is both fruitful and appealing. #banana

Working from NYC was a Very Good idea. I will be working from SF this year too, and it will also be a Very Good idea. Whether I am on the east coast or the west coast, I assure you: I am not coasting.

So many fruit flies and their brains engaged in various activities on my X feed these days. Maybe I'm feeling fruit fly like a G6. Or I could've been vegetable fly like a V8. Maybe a fruit fly brain simulation could be used to generate additional wordplays. #fruitfly

The world of neuro is fragmented. Basic researchers are in a silo. Biomedical engineers are in another silo. Clinicians are in yet another silo. As are patients, designers, educators, businesspeople, and so on. #neuroscience
