Our perception of time is complex... slows down when we're afraid, speeds up when we age, and we're most likely to vividly remember experiences between 15-25 years old: ā€œnostalgiaā€ or the ā€œreminiscence bumpā€themarginalian.org/2013/07/1…

Good approach to weighing options for folks currently job hunting
In joining a startup, you are choosing how to invest your most valuable asset—your time. ā° I had a few career chats this afternoon and was asked how I’ve chosen startups to work for. Here’s my answer in hopes it might be helpful to more of you out there🧵

Sometimes people go through grief. It’s hard and awkward. It’s not obvious how to respond. A friend who knows grief well made a podcast about what to say and do. This show is a real gift: If you don’t know what to say, start here: @how_is_today

This looks like a permanent shift, and a really big one too. From 30% to almost 80% just like that. A change on this scale is bound to have all sorts of interesting consequences.

Check out this delicious 3D edible Chocolate Topography project that some of my students developed this semester :)
This semester in @harvardseas ES22 I got to combine 3 of my favorite things: mapping, 3D-modeling, and (ofc) chocolate for the class's sensory design project. Website highlights attached-- head to the project website for more! chocotopography.com @designharvard #3dmap #qgis
