Task switching creates “event boundaries” in your memory encoding circuits, which leads to fragmented and less robust recall and accuracy of your experiences, also degrades knowledge etc. @CharanRanganath explains on the Huberman Lab podcast out now:

New John Baez just dropped. A 129 pages text on 'what is entropy' and it's for free, big homie.
Cool stuff!
Through UVA’s Soft Biomatter Lab, assistant professor Liheng Cai and Ph.D. student Jinchang Zhu are bioprinting 3D structures with a material that is a close match for human tissue, paving the way for true biomanufacturing.

It has been widely believed that a key function of sleep is to actively clear metabolites and toxins from the brain. A study in @NatureNeuro shows in mice that brain clearance is markedly reduced—not increased—during sleep and anesthesia. go.nature.com/4bKkXYb

Fluoroscopy is an imaging technique that uses X-rays to obtain real-time moving images.
This is what a dog eating look like in a fluoroscopy.

Really cool work by my colleagues, Katia Bertoldi and Dave Weitz, and their team. Great collaboration supported by the @harvardmrsec @NSF
SEAS researchers developed a first-of-its-kind, programmable "metafluid". It uses tiny spheres that buckle under pressure to radically change the fluid's characteristics, including its viscosity, opacity and springiness buff.ly/4aDyOyW

Congrats, Chelsea!
Our next steps will be supported by the #nsfcareer!!! YAY! We will use novel imaging and metabolomics tools to investigate osteocyte interactions with bone matrix and impacts on fracture toughness. We will also introduce nontraditional MSU students to research! Can't wait.
Very cool stuff!
Congrats to @DrJohnKisiel and team for this amazing work advancing early detection of CRC in @NEJM

🚀 @DrJohnKisiel shares his take on an exciting study from @MayoClinic in @NEJM
🧬🔬Next-gen Multitarget Stool DNA test🟰superior sensitivity to detect #ColoRectalCancer & advanced lesions compared to FIT!
🎯93.9% sensitivity for colorectal cancer
🌟90.6% specificity for advanced neoplasia
🛡️Higher detection rates🟰improved screening outcomes
🙌Major leap in #CancerScreening.
Kudos to @DrJohnKisiel @MayoCancerCare @ExactSciences & team for this groundbreaking work!
