How Preserved Human Brains Are Rewriting Paleoproteomics Decoding the Deep Past through Ancient Proteins 🏺🧪 www.anthropology.net/p/how-preser... What these brains carry isn't just the silent history of anonymous lives but a molecular archive: the deep, hidden record of ancient human proteins.

Today is amazing grad student Paul LaFosse's last lab meeting. Here's cool data he showed: Paul used 2p holographic optogenetics (laser stim) to select and stimulate this neuron in a working brain. This ability to change neural activity is key to understanding brains. To understanding #AI too. 🧪

Feel this in my bones with embroidery art too. Takes me hours to finish a piece and it's not all stitching. It's all the little things and behind the scenes stuff like prepping fabric and getting the right supplies. I don't just click my fingers and *poof* project is done. Art takes time!

I want to think about the geometry of weaving. Normally we use 90-degree warp and weft, but it doesn’t have to be that way. I wonder if there are advantages in texture or strength to other geometries. Certainly there are examples (knitting, crochet, macrame).
