With Evolutionary Psychology I and II, Allen D. MacNeill of Cornell University led a thought-provoking series of lectures on why people do the things they do. In Evolutionary Biology I, MacNeill addresses a different side of the coin by examining the biological component, from Charles Darwin’s and Gregor Mendel’s “dangerous ideas” to contemporary thought leaders and the forming of the modern synthesis of this vital field of study.

The most valuable investment any society makes is in its children, the next generation. The more we learn about the fetus the better we are able to understand the problems and abnormalities that can occur during development.

You may be living in a simulation right now. Not science fiction. Not paranoia. Math. If advanced civilizations can create realistic simulations of conscious beings, and if they create billions of them, then statistically you're almost certainly in one. The odds are overwhelming. The evidence is everywhere: Quantum mechanics behaves like optimized rendering code. Physical constants are calibrated to impossible precision. Consciousness collapses probability waves. Reality glitches when you're not looking.

Growing up, I had a good idea as to what I wanted to do as an adult. Writing a book was not one of them. Before I retired, my wife, Doris, suggested that I should write a book about my history. I mentally rejected the idea. Writing about my experiences at the zoo never entered my mind. I was not sure if I wanted to write about my history. When my daughter first started writing her own books, I was happy for her, but I still was not interested in doing the same thing.

Neste livro que já se tornou um clássico, David Spiegelhalter — um dos maiores estatísticos da atualidade — combina a visão incomparável de um especialista com o entusiasmo de um aficionado e oferece um verdadeiro guia para explorarmos a arte dessa ciência que é muito mais do que um ramo da matemática.

According to a 2021 study from the IPCC, conditions of extreme drought are 1.7x more likely than they were 100 years ago. That is, at any given time we are nearly twice as likely to be experiencing an extreme drought than our desert-dwelling ancestors had a century ago. And this problem is not trending in the right direction. Though drought conditions can impact so many areas of our lives, the beauty and diversity of our lawns does not have to be one of them.
