Interesting ideas about the "cost of memories" and how to apply it to our daily lives! A good read for students who are trying to learn something they consider currently "not so appealing"
We think of our own, biological memory the way we think of computer memory: the more, the better. But that’s not what evolution intended when it created learning. Learning is not just about storing information: it is about choosing what to store and what to discard. 🧵/1

The story of #Singapore's visionary Lee Kuan Yew transformed the island from 2/3rd slums (1965), to 90% home owners with the 3rd highest GDP/capita, best paid #Teachers, rewarded education and technical skills, and #ZERO_TOLERANCE on corruption- the choices were tough, but CLEAR.
In 1965, Singapore was forced out of Malaysia. No army. No resources. No fresh water. A tiny island of 2M people living in slums. Then ONE man's ruthless vision built modern Asia's greatest success... 🧵

#Personal_anecdotes are not scientific. Evidence is gathered by objective #scientific rigor/method, to prevent #personal_bias from #misinforming the data. For #Cancer cure, TIME is of essence! Not unproven methods. Get real care. Earlier the better.

Interesting thread... The patterns of epigenetic inheritance might be real, although I may not agree with some of the unproven solutions that this post subscribes to. But this is why we study epigenetic memories and how to undo the faulty ones.
If you think you have Trauma, science says it didn't start with you. Unhealed trauma doesn't just disappear—it gets passed down through DNA as self-sabotage, cycles of failure, and toxic relationships. Here's what science says about generational trauma (and how to break the

Our exam systems in Biology are geared to test rote learning, not analytical skills... but that MUST CHANGE because AI will make rote memory obsolete. If you want to stay relevant, train analytical biologists and not just end users or technologists.
Unpopular opinion : High school biology in India is taught as a training to become a doctor, rather than a biologist. People become so good at remembering stuff, they lose basic mathematical, analytical skills(in no way am I saying these skills are not required to be a doctor).
