New paper from our lab in #CellPress @iScience_CP! The human brain emits light—faint, spontaneous photons arising from metabolic and electrical processes. These light emissions not only pass through the skull but also reflect changes in cognitive state, pointing to a new

Science, academia, and medicine are shaking up. Why is that? Maybe its because we are realizing that knowledge is not built by machines, but by humans...with all our emotions, intuitions, and lived experiences. Science can be all-consuming. But when we make space for family,

How your body moves electrons from food to energy This figure explains how the human body acts like an electrical circuit—moving electrons extracted from food all the way to oxygen to generate energy. Every meal you eat feeds an invisible current that powers your cells through a

So incredibly true @DeryaTR_ 😅! Just had to share on Bluesky...let's see what happens.
Is it okay if I call this article bullshit?! They didn’t ask me about this; I’m a scientist too, you know😅 I love it here on X, but I find Bluesky boring & depressing. Also, I dislike it when they strongly imply that all scientists must share the same ideology or think/act same!

Another new, mitochondria-centric episode is up on my page now "Mitochondrial Transfer, Obesity & Immune-Metabolism Interactions" with @BrestoffLab. Our cells can send and receive mitochondria between themselves. This may be a way that metabolic status in one tissue can be

Thank you @trikomes for the great discussion on linking physical principles to physiology through our the ERP.

Yes!! Drawing it back to first principles and fundamentals will give us the insight (time/spatial resolution) we need and have been missing in biology. The Energy Resistance Principle (ERP) is one such bridge between physics and biology where we reconsider biochemical pathways,
Physics is the "queen of science" as my prof used to say. And physicists are slowly taking over biology, too. https://t.co/aIEDTPLlKh

Podcast on energy resistance in biological systems tomorrow, with @MitoPsychoBio and @msahsorin.
Talking with @MitoPsychoBio later this month about mitochondria, bioenergetics, and the "energy resistance principle" he and @msahsorin have written about. Post your questions here.

For those of us interested in what’s missing in our understanding of health (how our body stores, transmits, & transforms information across scales & time) it’s worth revisiting one of the most beautiful thought experiments in physics: Maxwell’s Demon. It inspired a simple but

We must reimagine the role of doctors in society. We must acknowledge the frailty, the humanity of our carers. We must not mistake them for gods or magicians, omniscient or omnipotent…. And for heaven's sake, we must let them sleep. JENNIFER BERNSTEIN

Just like you and me, photons are social too. ❤️
#Photons display collective behavior only above a certain threshold, favoring states already occupied by many others. This phenomenon could inform the development of more powerful #Laser technologies. @physrevlett @arxiv

Isn’t it interesting that both chlorophyll and heme, 2 most important pigments of life, share the same quantum architecture? Each uses a porphyrin ring, basically a nanoscale system that directs electron flow using quantum processes to enable energy transformation. Mg²⁺ sits at
