In my years in London, I have formed some comforts. I like taking the same tube routes and walking the same paths. If the less unknown variables in the route, the more I can focus on listening to podcasts or mulling over concepts I recently read. It doesn't stop there. I also play Netflix reruns … Continue reading This simple math example demonstrates how confirmation bias fools you

Speculating opponent’s personal motivations?… Chances are you’ve lost the argument
If you're anything like me you've wasted your time in the past at least once trying to convince someone else of your view on the internet. I say waste because chances are they have dug their heels in and completely refused to budge an inch even when the evidence is staring them in the face. … Continue reading Speculating opponent’s personal motivations?… Chances are you’ve lost the argument

Pitching my book to academic publishers
Today I got to see the insides of a medical physics academic’s office at UCL. The office was littered with books, tech, papers and a whiteboard scrawled with equations. I cannot help feel at home.

This means that when I’m out or doing something mundane I will scroll through my twitter feeds responding to multiple tweets and then responding to the replies. Until I develop the self-control of only responding to a few posts I will not be able to do … Continue reading No evidence for parachutes is rarely a clever response

Where are we going in life?
When it comes to tech meetings I just love Soho. The lively streets are slightly frayed at the edges and the whole neighborhood oozes an optimistic, none pretentious energy. One street sports trendy coffee shops whilst the next hosts drug dealers who are so blatant at their trade, I’m shocked they’re not arrested within minutes. … Continue reading Where are we going in life?
