A few of my favourite things: grandchildren, stars, gardens, plants, dogs, mountains, coffee at all hours of the day, reading, and therefore books, rain drops and snowflakes and autumn leaves. I’m pretty boring.

Elon Musk’s Neuralink approved to recruit humans for brain-implant trial

Company is seeking people with paralysis to test its experimental device after getting green light from independent review board

"Elon Musk used to be so smart? What happened to him?"
