The most interesting thing I learned last year is this mental model for generating world-class writing. https://t.co/bPMHPtLDuh

Persepsi kita terhadap waktu, menurut Einstein, tidak lebih dari “stubbornly persistent illusion”. Jangankan jam masuk sekolah di pagi hari, bahkan konsep tentang “present” (sekarang), dalam physics, tidak lebih dari sebuah ilusi. There is no universal “present time”. https://t.co/BwCf9piD2D

Don't let stories of "I succeeded because I persisted" fool you. Destiny won't automatically reward you just because you worked very hard. Think in bets.

@hankgreen Me, who has had the 40k res publication tif if the Hubble Andromeda Ultra Wide field from 2015 as my desktop lock screen since its release: I bet my computer would thank me for switching to this smaller image For the lovers of massive space images: https://t.co/Af7id3f7Th

The public are excited by the images, but astronomers are as excited by the spectra, like this one. I want to talk about why https://t.co/FINKDltZmm

Excited to see YouTube begin to open itself to outside researchers. Any step in this direction needs to be celebrated and encouraged. https://t.co/QOx01zGvEs

Did you ever want to reach out to someone but decided not to, thinking that your spontaneous text of a phone call wouldn’t be welcome? Turns out, many of us underestimate just how much others appreciate hearing from us: https://t.co/SQy4H5vhAu https://t.co/NuolhnrQer

👀 Sneak a peek at the deepest & sharpest infrared image of the early universe ever taken — all in a day’s work for the Webb telescope. (Literally, capturing it took less than a day!) This is Webb’s first image released as we begin to #UnfoldTheUniverse: https://t.co/tlougFWg8B https://t.co/Y7ebmQwT7j

We treat the pursuit of happiness like it’s this decades long external mountain to climb, but actually happiness and joy are emotions generated by you and with attention and concentration you can get as much of it as you want https://t.co/EYkEjjEloL

Cold calling students is a surprisingly good idea: 👉Rather than making classes awkward, it leads to higher voluntary student participation from more students, and ultimately more learning. 🙋It increases voluntary participation by women, closing the gender gap in participation. https://t.co/CBnmVXtICL

As you may have heard The James Webb Space Telescope will be releasing "data from its first five targets" on Tuesday. I'm no astronomer but here's what I've gathered about what that means, and what we'll see.

There's nothing Eurocentric about modern science. There IS something Eurocentric about the way we teach the history of modern science, which leads a lot of people to mistakenly think that the idea of science itself is Eurocentric.

I read SAPIENS by Noah Harari when it came out. The sections on economic history were so bad and out of date that I discounted the rest of the book. Now I know I was right to do so. https://t.co/2zAY94xcuQ

Two interesting responses: • "This is what happens when the creative dept is overrun by the marketing dept. Being data driven is the death of art." — @cfcreative_ • "All businesses are online now and sans serif is among the easiest font set to read online." — @CartuneNetwerk

There's a tradition of film directors and studios congratulating each other for beating their box office records. A THREAD. 1/11: In 1977, when STAR WARS beat Jaws to become the highest-grossing movie ever, Steven Spielberg took out the below ad for George Lucas in @Variety https://t.co/dvjAjS9143

I'm amazed that some people feel like 80-100 years of life is about right for them. For me, the right amount of life feels like at least a hundred thousand years, assuming good health. The universe is huge and interesting. Anyone 100 or 200 years old has basically just been born.

damnn this is some good stuff https://t.co/SvL5ObWdv2

REs need to be jacks of all trades, master of most. They are the glue between theory papers and the implementations of those algorithms running on advanced chips in the cloud. https://t.co/02iouq7NER
