Humanity has existed for ~300,000 years. Civilization, only ~12,000. Science as we know it? Barely 400 years old.
We're just getting started. 🧵 Here's what the next 100 years could look like — and why it depends on what we do now.

Coming soon: a new mind-bending Timelapse. Not into deep futures, but into the tiny eons that passed in the very beginning of time. See you soon 😎

On Tuesday, the entire Stanford Bioengineering community gathered at the Shriram Center to celebrate Karl Deisseroth, winner of the 2026 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine, before he headed off to teach his undergraduate class: "Principles and Practice of Optogenetics for Optical Control of Biological Tissues."
“We love you. We love your work,” said fellow faculty member Russ Altman, who’s known the laureate since 1992.
“Wisdom, devotion to your work, seriousness of purpose, sense of humor, and then your status as a father, husband, physician. What a model.”

Do you think AI will ever make a discovery worth of a Nobel Prize?

Science moves fastest when knowledge moves freely.
Curiosity Origin is building open platforms for research, evidence, and discovery — accessible to everyone, not just experts.

In 10 years, the biggest scientific discoveries may not come from a lab — they'll come from an AI collaborating with one.
Are we ready for that kind of partnership?
Tell us what excites or worries you most. 🧠⚡

Earth has had 5 mass extinctions in 4.5 billion years.
We may be causing a 6th — but we're also the first species with tools to measure, model, and potentially prevent it. 🔬

Your brain receives the world about 13 milliseconds late — it's constantly predicting the present, not perceiving it live.🧠
What you call "reality" is your brain's best guess. Here's what neuroscience actually knows (and doesn't) about consciousness. 🧵#Neuroscience #Curiosity

Some researchers argue consciousness arises from integrated information processing. Others argue it requires specific neural architectures. 🔬
There's no settled consensus — this remains one of science's most genuinely open questions.
