Had a ton of fun presenting about why BMI is a fundamentally limited metric for understanding health and wellbeing at #JSM2024 yesterday! Shoutout to @ilona_maher for giving eating disorder/weight stigma researchers one of the most badass quotes of all time for our presentations.

Universities are funny. Hey what if we took a medieval institution for training priests and aristocrats and combined it w a hedge fund, sports franchise and resort for teenagers

Few people realize Apple has quietly patented an AirPod capable of detecting electrical signals from brain activity and extracting features.
Millions of neural-tech I/O devices may be hitting the markets sooner than we think

I appreciate your argument and I fully understand your frustration, but whether the pod bay doors should be opened or closed is a complex and nuanced issue.

I guess I can understand it, but still jarring that really old fashioned ideas about art seem to be reappearing, perhaps in response to AI? Like "art is fundamentally about expressing ineffably human emotions" – ok Lord Byron, welcome to the 21st c.
