Volume XVI
A recurring listicle, reads I loved to read.
- Judith Thurman, Exposure Time
- Hey Natalie Jean, IN NOLA . .
- Your Brain, Your Disease, Your Self
- Lisa Feldman Barrett, What Emotions Are (and Aren’t)
- “CHARLES DARWIN famously vanquished the notion of essences in biology. He observed that a species is not a single type of being with a fixed set of attributes, but rather a population of richly varied individuals, each of which is better or worse suited to its environment.” *
- “The ease with which we experience emotions, and the effortlessness with which we see emotions in others, doesn’t mean that each emotion has a distinct pattern in the face, body or brain. Instead of asking where emotions are or what bodily patterns define them, we would do better to abandon such essentialism and ask the more revealing question, “How does the brain construct these incredible experiences?” *
- Scott Gilbertson, Review: Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF7
- Lauren Mallonee, Vivid Xrays Reveal Guts of Robots and Radios (More on Roy Livingston here!)
- Mark Vanlandingham, Post-Katrina, Vietnamese Success
- Amy Wallace, What Made this University Researcher Snap?
- Jason Brick, Your Wrist is Now a Master Translator
- George Packer, The Other Paris
- “Ben Ahmed wrote on Facebook, “My French heart bleeds, my Muslim soul weeps. Nothing, absolutely nothing, can justify these barbaric acts. Don’t talk to me about media or politicians who would play such-and-such a game, because there’s no excuse for barbarism. #JeSuisCharlie.” *
- Ed Payne and Marilia Brocchetto, Brazilian toucan gets a new beak, created on a 3D printer
