“Odile Crick, my grandmother, drew the first published diagram of #DNA as a figure in the first of the three papers published together in @nature on the structure of DNA. (Papers by Watson & Crick, Franklin & Gosling, Wilkins et al) 70 yrs ago #OTD 🧬 #SciArt #Scicomm #DNADay”
In a departure from my usual podcast milieu, here's a long chat with grime artist JME and producer Chuckie. Definitely a different kind of conversation, but (for me anyway) a truly illuminating one. Before our in-studio conversation they both visited the Dreamachine prototype - and it was wonderful to hear what they made of it. https://grmdaily.com/hc-pod-jme-anil-seth-consciousness/
Hello #Barnes! I'll be Barnes Literary Society this evening (21/2, 8pm, St Mary's Church), talking about consciousness, #BeingYou and all of that stuff, with the mellifluous Dr. Adam Rutherford https://www.barnesliterarysociety.org.uk/anil-seth-event/
Being You is out today in Spain! "La Creación Del Yo" es disponible ahora, a partir de hoy. Gracias a Sexto Piso https://sextopiso.es/esp/item/622/la-creacion-del-yo
On the radio again: this time talking about anaesthesia, reversible oblivion, and why we rely on a medical invention that's still a bit mysterious. The Mind-Numbing Medicine is out now on The Curious Cases of Rutherford and Fry (BBC Radio 4): w/ Fiona Donald, Irene Tracey, me, and of course Hannah Fry and Adam Rutherford https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001hwwq
