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 The sections on economic history were so bad and out of date that I discounted the rest of the book.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.

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

If you study these 13 maps for just a couple of minutes each, you'll understand history much better. Starting with... the migrations of prehistoric humanity. https://t.co/znNxhgZLlp

This is one of the craziest plots I have ever seen. World GDP follows a power law that holds over many orders of magnitude and extrapolates to infinity (!) by 2047. Clearly this trend can't continue forever. But whatever happens, the next 25 years are going to be pretty nuts. https://t.co/NwZmW9Xphg

The five greatest leaps for Earth life might be: 1. First life 2. Simple cell > complex cell 3. Single cell > multicellular organisms 4. Ocean > land 5. One planet > multiplanetary Only a few great leaps in 3.7 billion years and we get to witness it. https://t.co/dl2PwpVvmM

When I was 18, I taught a Computer Science course called CS50x for Harvard University. A year before this happened, I couldn't write a single line of code. This happened due to the power of online communities. Here's how - I share a super valuable tip at the end.

In a 2008 Japanese experiment, 323 children, 11 year olds and 13 year olds, were given a 30 minute math quiz. One randomly selected group in a regular class room, the other group in a room with tatami mats. The tatami room group out-concentrated the regular room kids every time. https://t.co/kXOiGZFyK9
