What an amazing sold out event in Santa Monica with experts on intelligence from our friends at @templeton_fdn and @bigthink, hosted by Chris Duffy! #IntelligenceEverywhere #ScienceAndEntertainment #BigThink #ScienceEvents #SantaMonica #STEM #OtherMinds
We had such a great evening with our friends at @alsae_f hearing about the future of medicine including lab printed organs and brain regeneration from @ARPA_H experts Ryan Spitler and Jean Hébert. Thank you to our wonderful hosts Melissa Rosenberg and Lev Spiro! #FutureOfMedicine
What an amazing night with speaker @JoshuaWortzelMD of @HartfordHealthC talking about how heat affects our moods and behavior with host director/producer Valerie Weiss. Thank you both for another great event in a beautiful space! #scicomm #heat #TheExchange
Donnie Darko is not just a psychological thriller; it’s a gateway to theoretical physics, wormholes and Einstein-Rosen bridges. This is 25 years since it's release. #ScienceAndCinema #DonnieDarko #Watchlist
!hat an amazing weekend with scientists and writers for our Writers Retreat focused on topics that inspire awe and wonder. Thank you to @templeton_fdn for making it a reality! #scicomm #scienceinTV #scienceinfilm #The Exchange
In Severance, series creator Dan Erickson and director Ben Stiller worked with neurosurgeon Dr. Vijay Agarwal to consult on the science in the hit series. #Severance #ScienceConnection

Having surgery is uncomfortable to say the least. What if instead of a scalpel, your problem could be solved by swallowing a magnetic blob? With an external magnet, says Dr. Li Zhang, his slime creation could be controlled like a robot hand by a surgeon: bit.ly/44tPAhg

A leading Berkeley psychologist says we may be thinking about AI the wrong way.
Instead of treating it as something that could replace the human mind, she suggests understanding it as a cultural #technology built from all of us.
That reframing changes what’s actually at risk. At a recent LA gathering, @AlisonGopnik, known for her TED Talk, offered a different frame.

• AI is closer to printing than a brain
• The real risk is how we govern it
If we tell the wrong story about AI, we prepare for the wrong future.

What if microorganisms could consume solar energy? @projecthailmary explores this and more. What scientific concepts do you find most fascinating in sci-fi? #ProjectHailMary #ScienceConnection #TheExchange
How do you casually steal $500,000,000 in gold… at 40,000 ft in mid-air? We connected aviation engineer Jeff Newcamp with the team at Lift to consult on the film. Reach out to us if you are looking for science help with a project! #TheExchange #LiftMovie @netflix
The film "Her" challenges us to think about the future of AI and our emotional connections. What are your thoughts on human-computer relationships? #Her #AI #ScienceConnection
What an amazing tour. Thank you @alsae_f for the opportunity!
Three days ago, we brought a group of 20 Hollywood creators to The Lundquist Institute at Harbor–UCLA Medical Center to visit the Intervene Immune labs
Thank you, Greg Fahy, @prof_horvath , @SciEntExchange , Rick Loverd, and Bobby Brooke for helping us make this possible.
Behind every great show like Mayor of @kingstown is a wealth of expertise! We connected Mario Cortez, consultant specializing in SWAT and crime suppression to the writing team. #SWAT #TheExchange
