Folks love tractography.

Apparently stimulants DECREASE all cause mortality in people with ADHD to the same extent that smoking increases it And ofc this isn’t counting quality of life Public health should take this way more seriously

Great research on open-source by Harvard University: - $4.15B invested in open-source generates $8.8T of value for companies (aka $1 invested in open-source = $2,000 of value created) - Companies would need to spend 3.5 times more on software than they currently do if OSS did not exist I
