Votes for 16 year olds: the scientific argument …uroscienceofeverydaylife.substack.com/p/votes-for-16… I am informed this was just discussed on LBC. Presumably without significant adherence to logic and scientific rigour, so I'm sharing it again. #Politics #Voting #Teens #Age

The hidden flaw in cryonics that could ruin your shot at living forever sciencefocus.com/the-human-body… My Science Focus article Some proponents have said this is unfair cryogenic freezing is *always* a gamble. My counterpoint is that everyone who opts to gamble should know the odds

Greater #MentalHealth understanding is good, but it can only go so far without mental health *understanding* Hence you should read 'Psycho-Logical', all about the science of mental health, by Dean Burnett amzn.eu/d/0vIPNI3 hive.co.uk/Product/Dean-B… #Depression #Anxiety

Going to be speaking to Vanessa Feltz on LBC Radio at 5pm, to discuss the claim that more people are now self-identifying as neurodivergent than not in the UK lbc.co.uk [Spoiler: No, they're not]

Could an #AI be more powerful than the human brain? Yes. Also, no. Both. For various reasons. Also, it doesn't make any sense. So such claims are dubious. Confused? Don't blame you. But my latest article hopefully clears things up. …uroscienceofeverydaylife.substack.com/p/this-article… #Brains #News #Tech
