«How little do we know that which we are! How less what we may be!« Lord Byron, Don Juan  I’ve been thinking about the way we advise when it comes to health. I wanted to write some of it down and also write something about the carrying of brains, but I realize this all turned…

I’ve long felt that the saying, «If you haven’t got anything interesting to say, then shut up» is a saying deserving some heed. So I’m mostly shutting up these days. Recently my work life has completely consumed the rest of my life and there is little place left in my brain for creativity. Admittedly I…

It’s not a new study [1] and many know it well, but it’s such a simple and in many ways beautiful study, so I thought it an appropriate time for a revisit.
