Science is a Process →
Dr. Rubin, in an interview with The Verge, on the number one thing he wishes people understood about science and/or medicine (emphasis mine):
That uncertainty isn’t a weakness, it’s one of science’s greatest strengths. Science isn’t a collection of immutable facts. It’s a process for getting closer to the truth. Good scientists are willing to change their minds when better evidence emerges. Unfortunately, that can look like inconsistency to the public, when it’s actually how progress happens. Confidence should always be proportional to the quality of the evidence.
Sadly, in today's political climate, too many people with zero credibility believe that they know more about environmental/medical science than actual environmental/medical scientists around the world.

The Perfect Episode in the Time of Quarantine →
I love everything about this episode. The fact that the team could get paid in an economically difficult time. The emotional relevance of the isolation & hardship of social distancing. The fact that this was pulled together — from concept to final production — in under three weeks, all shot on iPhones.
And then the ending just leaves you with a big fat smile on your face, to remind you than in tough times like this, we can get through it together with creativity.
As a keto dieter (for part of the year, lol), I was always confused by how the Japanese stay so skinny when they eat rice and noodles every day. After visiting Japan, I could see why:
- Everyone walks everywhere, even old people.
- Tipping is not a thing, which encourages people to eat fresh food at sit-down restaurants.
- Eating fresh food every day — even if it's carbs — will beat any diet that consists of processed food and refined sugars.
I could see myself living in Japan, happily eating rice every day, and still maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
