In 2024, I had a bleed in my cerebellum, a fist-sized part of my brain surgeons told me was "redundant" & mainly concerned with motor control.
So why, after months of recovery, did I no longer feel like myself?
I went to @Radiolab to find out.

Radiolab’s love language is bird facts, so let me just say Happy fricking Valentines.
“Quantum Birds,” wherever you pod.

The US election is nigh. If you RAGE that it’s down to a few votes in a few swing states, I've got a story for you.
A political drama about just how close we came to abolishing the Electoral College. And BONUS, it’ll explain why we still use this old relic to pick Presidents.🧵

Deep in the ocean lives a creature that can survive for centuries: the Greenland shark. But scientists discovered that the secret to their longevity comes at a cost — missing out on some of the best parts of life. Listen to "The Sea Troll" today: bit.ly/3R4GkIM

What an honor to moderate this panel on behalf of @ScienceBoard_UN. Our brilliant panelists brought up many of the most serious issues in science right now (although we got a few laughs in as well).

GUYS I guest hosted @Radiolab this week and it was so dang fun. A mystery about the missing dead bodies of Pompeii that goes to a surprisingly sweet (or, salty & stinky) place. And is *yet another* bit of proof that @latifnasser can get me interested in literally anything. 😂
Did anyone survive the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79AD? Today, we dig into an against-all-odds story of a disaster without warning, a mass disappearance without a trace, and oddly, a particularly stinky fish sauce, care of @CiaoSamin. Listen here: bit.ly/3uujYXP
