This seems like an obvious idea, once mentioned, but I've never seen anybody try it: Testing skin treatment on 1/2 of your face. reddit.com/r/Rosacea/comment…

I wore an Oura ring & a Whoop band on the same hand/wrist for ~12 months. Here's everything I found... 🧵 TLDR: - Whoop isn't accurate enough to be useful. I took it off. - Oura is better. I'm still wearing it. - Beware readiness/recovery scores - raw data are more insightful.

The history of science is old, but most research methods are not. Many of the methods we consider standard — like questionnaires, double-blind research, and control groups — were invented after 1700. Probably we can sit down and invent some more. slimemoldtimemold.com/2023/0…

Zenobase is a platform where you can aggregate all your personalized tracking device data into one dashboard. zenobase.com/#/ Amazingly, I first saw Eric present this in grad school and it is still a bootstrapped project. 🤯

I've had to deactivate all the community members on the Quantified Self @slack, due to the new terms of service from Salesforce (which now owns Slack). We will miss it. We're using our Discourse forum for reference links and updates now. forum.quantifiedself.com/

Great quote from Freeman Dyson on “Tool-Driven Scientific Revolutions” (via @stevesi) New tools enable new ways to see and explore the world and study phenomena we could not study before. The concepts are discussed in this Science perspective (Dyson 2012) science.org/doi/abs/10.1126/…

Been logging my mood daily for 835 days in a row now! That's over 2yrs 😮 As a founder there are definitely ups & downs but happy to say for me, more ups! I log this daily to try and reflect if there's something bothering me. It's not perfect, but I find it helps 💜

Today I had my thinking shaped and informed by the remarkable Dr @SaraRiggare defending her thesis on personal science - a step change in the conceptualisation of #Parkinsons care. A seat at the table and a say in decisions. Congratulations. @basbloem @grootm75 @MariaHagglund
