🧠✨ Researchers at #Cornell have developed a "MOTE" – a tiny wireless sensor that can record #brain activity while sitting on a grain of salt.
Powered by infrared light rather than bulky #batteries, these microscopic devices are small enough to monitor neural #health for years without irritating sensitive brain tissue.

Climate denialists often complain that #renewables provide intermittent power
But they ignore that renewables are so cheap that the solution is in part to over-provision so that even if it is a bit cloudy we still have enough power.
One consequence that we already have is times when we have so much power the excess is free - like right now in the UK (till 3pm)
Usually people figure out good ways to use free stuff - I'm excited to see what the future holds.

Of all the tools that I use to maintain my equilibrium in these dark days, none is so important as remembering the distinction between happiness, optimism and hope.

Hope. The one thing we need the most, as a reminder that we have agency over our future, if we have the guts to make an active change, together.
