  1. Sunday : There are two flavors of uncertainty in our lives. Math helps with both.

  2. "The Coin Toss And The Love Triangle," by Illos by Gérard DuBois.

  3. Henry James' "Wings Of A Dove" isn't just a great book: It is an important math lesson that may explain chance.

  4. One way to understand the mathematics of chance is to look to literature. These two novels are prime examples.

  5. Chance appears to name a single, unitary thing. But its genealogy, its family history, turns out to be a tangled one.

  6. What can we learn from illusions? First, they teach us how we see. Second, they open us up to how we could see.

  7. The principles of the primary school could help roboticists and AI scientists better machine learning.

  8. The stages of our episodic memory-making have been tied to our genes in a new study, opening new targets for therapy.

  9. Illusions offer humans a rare moment of clarity, showing us that the world as we see it is not necessarily as it is.

  10. “Machine learning science is not only about computers but about humans and the unity of logic, emotion, and culture.”

  11. Scientists say they've uncovered the genes governing the different processes of human episodic memory.

  12. When your first grade teacher told you to sit down and pay attention, they were drawing on on how deep memories form.

  13. This new stretchy hydrogel could help refine artificial organ and muscle tissue engineering.

  14. AI researchers are quickly learning how the body plays a pivotal role in machine learning.

  15. This amazing new hydrogel stretches and contracts like a muscle—or an organ.

  16. Metaphor can make the difference between smart science and brute force science.

  17. A neuroscientist/illusionist tells us why we may never see anything as it really is—and how to change that.

  18. "Teaching Me Softly," by Alan S. Brown. Illos by

  19. Illusions show us that the brain can hold two perceptions of reality at once—and that means we can change how we see.

  20. AI researchers are discovering something teachers know to be true: Communication between teacher/student is special.
