I'm super pumped to get to work tomorrow and play with this #satellite #orbit search idea I might have figured out
Sometimes I can be satisfied just to plan details mentally, but not here. There are significant questions about how implementation would work and need factual answers before any planning can commence

“The design of train wheels is genius. If we have a train track with a slight curve, and we try to roll some basic wheels across it, we'll simply derail. … So how exactly can we solve the issue of a train negotiating a turn?”

Hi you all!
I'm working for just, #sustainable #transition at the Social Democratic think tank Sorsa Foundation (www.sorsafoundation.fi) in #Helsinki, #Finland.
I've been trying to advance #sustainability since about 2007. I originally have a background in #engineering and #design, and did a PhD about technological substitutes for critical resources. However, #energytransition has been my main focus.
I firmly believe that broadening #democracy is THE key to sustainability.

Worthy Read: Why Product Teams Work Best Without a Single Leader by Brian Donohue (@brian_donohue)
https://www.intercom.com/blog/product-teams-work-best-without-single-leader/
I feel like my greatest achievement so far as a engineering manager has been to be relentlessly empathetic to my team, listening and accommodating their needs and helping to cultivate their skills. I don’t even know if I’ll get measured by that activity in a positive way but I don’t care.
One team member said “you’re the best manager I’ve had in 10 years” and you know what, that feels good.
Reading through recent work from Haspel et al. @kordinglab (https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.06578).
Overall I'm excited that these types of visions are coming into #neuroscience - but I see a major flaw in how they define "reverse-engineering" and #engineering more broadly.
So I wrote a bit about it - Part 1 of my reaction to efforts to "reverse-engineer" in neuroscience.
https://virati.medium.com/a-quick-comment-on-reverse-engineering-b03284787b33

We are the hero of our own story. We imagine that we can change the world.
When we create things, we imagine the good we can do. However, before you go too far down the road of making something, ask yourself: What if your enemies had this, and could wield it against you? would you still want it in the world?
Before you release your project, consider the consequences. How can it go wrong? How wrong can it go?
