Origins of language, one of humanity’s most distinctive traits, may be best explained as a unique convergence of multiple capacities each with its own evolutionary history, involving intertwined roles of biology & culture. This framing can expand research horizons. A 🧵 on our @science.org paper.🧪1/n
What enables human language? A biocultural framework
Explaining the origins of language is a key challenge in understanding ourselves as a species. We present an empirical framework that draws on synergies across fields to facilitate robust studies of l...

Vitamin B12 is a rather unique vitamin.
Only certain bacteria and archaea can make it, not plants or animals.
Animals require B12 and can obtain and store it, which is why meat and fish are well-known sources for humans.
But what about non-animal foods? Can they provide any B12 at all?🧵⤵️

folks, the single best thing to do when cooking pasta is to finish it properly, namely, in a pan over heat with a bit of starchy pasta water
motion + heat + starch have a magical effect on the texture of the dish. this levels up even the most mundane pasta (even jarred sauces!)

When I was an undergrad, I saw a talk by Oliver Sacks about music. During the Q&A, someone asked Sacks if he thought science would reveal the deepest mysteries of art. Sacks (a rare humanist among scientists) said that he doubted it, at which Eric Kandel (the host) leaped up and grabbed the mic.

Stats on #bodybrain #neuroskyence data can become non-trivial pretty quickly: Anything beyond t-tests on 'systole vs diastole' or 'insp vs exp' will include some form of phase binning, so we need adequate surrogates for robust permutation stats. Plus, these are not available for circular data.
