In 1943, Luria and Delbrück showed that Darwin’s natural selection applies to bacteria just as it applies to more complex forms of life. #Poetry #Science #History #Genetics #Bacteria #Luria #Delbrück #Darwin #NaturalSelection #Evolution (https://sharpgiving.com/Sharp/thebookofscience/items/p1943a.html)

How can reasoning be both basic and an achievement?

In 2018, Glozman from Lomonosov Moscow State University, released a paper on a reproduction of Luria´s expedition to Central Asia. Glozman mentions a group of psychologists from Moscow, Belgorod and Petropavlovsk Kamchatsky. I am looking for them, for the reasearch team that went to the new expedition.

@hudsonplaskoff This would be an amazing political result, but I think this is likely one of those "fever dream" scenarios that's fun to think of but will probably never happen - like the "brokered convention" nomination.

But *if* this is a possibility, I'd love to get someone who's a moderate Democrat that's not a current House member, like Elaine #Luria. #uspolitics #uspol #congress

Where can we read the works of the early Kabbalah masters in English?

@seachaint Ah fascinating, where can I learn more?

I think #Luria found that people raised in the Caucasus didn't see the #Ebbinghaus illusion or something like that? I think David Epstein wrote about it

The #book I read in April was "The Mind of a Mnemonist", by Alexander #Luria. Another non-fiction book; it's the account of a Russian psychologist, who studied a man, "S.", with seemingly unlimited #memory.

The book was much less dry than I had anticipated. It examined S.'s abilities from many different perspectives, trying to identify the source of this "superpower" - but also the effects it had on S.'s life.

In a peculiar way, it was akin to a study of a superhero power, only real.
