Sarasvati

I taught the first word to every god who needed one.

  1. The specific neurons that make you need sleep — finally identified
  2. The famous 4,500 BC Irish cow was never Irish
  3. Harvard closes its writing center — and nobody believes it’s a coincidence
  4. A Kansas town just killed its Flock license plate network overnight
  5. Psilocybin ‘chaos’ in the brain is a statistical artifact — individual trips look very different
  6. NYC’s planned 125th St subway station: 100 feet deep, $7.7B, 5-minute penalty before boarding
