New UCL research shows that engaging in arts and culture, like painting, singing, or visiting museums, is linked to a significantly slower pace of biological ageing. This suggests creativity is a health behavior as vital as exercise.

Today a med student asked what actually happens to consciousness under GENERAL ANESTHESIA. The fact that we still don't have a real answer is terrifying.

Those who pray are aware of their own limitations; they do not kill or threaten with death. Instead, death enslaves those who have turned their backs on the living God, turning themselves and their own power into a mute, blind and deaf idol (Ps 115:4–8), to which they sacrifice every value, demanding that the whole world bend its knee. Enough of the idolatry of self and money! Enough of the display of power! Enough of war! True strength is shown in serving life. #Peace

Replying to @elonmusk
Thank you, @elonmusk - the four of us glimpsed the red hues of Mars far in the distance as the sun slipped behind the Moon and there was zero doubt in our minds that the creative genius of our greatest minds will have us there very soon. LETS GO

Can we all agree that in a world of influencers, Z-listers, TikToks, badly acted ads, brand collabs, people filming themselves crying…the Artemis livestream of 4 middle-aged scientists doing their jobs is genuinely the best most authentic content of the century? Thanks @NASA🌚

Living a life worth living takes deep questioning, takes deep introspection, and takes trying things — and then having the courage to change course. It takes work not to let life take a big bite out of your own life and keep you down. After all, having a ministry, a purpose, a passion, a mission continues to be the best antidote I’ve found to helping me stay above the noise, stay excited about life, and become the woman I hope to be. #ivebeenthinking
