There’s one day left to apply for @TheEconomist science and tech writing internship. If you want to work with us for three months over the summer, the details are here: economist.com/casement2024
1/🧵 Lots of fuss and bother about the announcement from @neuralink today about having implanted their tech in a human brain for the first time. bbc.co.uk/news/technolog…
Exclusive: Buried in the online autumn statement is a bit of news with potentially huge implications for biopharma. The UK is going to try to create a pathway for individually customised medicines! economist.com/britain/2023/1… @mhra @stopbatten @GenomicsEngland @OHRareDisease
A few thoughts on today, in no particular order. First, among Israelis: impossible to overstate the level of shock. The intelligence failure resembles 1973, but you almost have to go back to 1948 to find an analogue for the violence that played out in cities and towns. 🧵
Do I know any people in #LosAngeles ?🤔 If so, get in touch. Am in town next week, would appreciate some eating/ sightseeing/cultural recommendations 🙏🏽
The findings by 2023 #NobelPrize laureates Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman led to the approval of two highly successful mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines in late 2020. The vaccines have saved millions of lives and prevented severe disease in many more.
How will AI transform society? @alokjha investigates with @mustafasuleyman, on our “Babbage” podcast econ.st/3r7iJR1

Why are demonstrations important for engaging younger audiences in science? @alokjha asks @alomshaha on this week’s “Babbage” podcast 🥼 econ.st/3DlHpaF
Podcast Lovers! Here's the lovely @alokjha on @TheEconomist 's "Babbage" podcast talking to me and Dan Plane of @Ri_Science about science demonstrations and why science isn't just for people who want to be scientists: economist.com/podcasts/2023/…
King of Spain at the final day of Wimbledon. This looks great. Very rare to see this level of tailoring nowadays, even on the wealthy. So let's talk about some of the reasons why it's great. 🧵
Right, thread time. My latest for @TheEconomist looks at the global #manufacturing delusion. As a German, I have some experience dealing with people who fall for it. Don't be those people. /1 economist.com/finance-and-ec…
Look at that handsome face 😍 Well done Ian 👏🏽 👏🏽
Such a bizarre story. If you've been following this from afar you probably think the WHO is saying diet soda will give you cancer but they're not saying that and the evidence is pretty weak. What is even the point of this? nytimes.com/2023/07/13/hea…
Almost 50 years ago, Vint Cerf & Bob Kahn revolutionized the world by designing TCP/IP, the foundation of the internet. Now @vgcerf speaks with @alokjha from @TheEconomist on the state of the internet & lessons for the future, including generative AI ow.ly/8Bc750P5itW
This seems like useful context about the aspartame/cancer story doing the rounds today. From @semafor Last line sums things up especially nicely 👌🏽
The national & global water crisis has never been more topical. Join us at 7pm to hear @TimSmedley, author of new book #TheLastDrop, and @alokjha - they will be unpacking the key issues around water mismanagement, climate change, and what we can do. - mailchi.mp/5x15stories.co…

This is why I have an alter ego, @alokjha
Pretty sure I’ve been the wrong type of brown person on numerous occasions. Not “authentic” enough for some. Not of the right class or from the right part of the subcontinent for others.
Interesting from John Curtice in the Telegraph - Approx. 58% would vote to join EU now, 42% (average) support staying out. Current arrangements look unsustainable. Can Labour in particular maintain 'make Brexit work' policy if polls continue to shift? telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/01/0…

Thank you @alokjha for picking #TheFacemaker as one of the @guardian's "Best Science Books of 2022!" There are some other great titles on this list, including one of my favourites, AN IMMENSE WORLD, by @edyong209. Check it out for holiday gift ideas. theguardian.com/books/2022/dec…
Thanks @alokjha for selecting Elusive in your 7 science books of the year @guardian. The Highlands walk was a decoy. In reality Higgs went for a drink in Leith and Elusive reveals where. @Walsh_e_Patrick @AllenLaneBooks
@alokjha We all know the point of Alom is to balance your existence in the universe so fundamental symmetry laws remain unbroken.
@alexbellars @alokjha Ah, you may be unaware that we are two aspects of be same thing, like electricity and magnetism.
@alokjha @alomshaha @carolynporco Agreed, much better.
@alokjha @alomshaha @carolynporco Maybe don't rewatch Alok, you'll just hate me for it. But yes, when you've met real-life Forests (and probably Stewarts), it is pretty funny. I kept thinking of the MIT Media Lab. Plus, my daughter had the benefit of simping over Lily.
@alokjha @philipcball @carolynporco Rare hour to myself this evening when I’ve managed the first hour. Suspect it might be a while before I get to see episode 2
@alokjha @alomshaha @carolynporco Yes Alok, it's all that, but in a GOOD way. I saw it with my eldest, and we had a ball.
Amazing to listen to @ItsRachelDobbs's real-time commentary as #COP27 goes into overtime. It took me there (and gave me the chills). Great stuff by @alokjha and the rest of The Economist team. economist.com/podcasts/2022/…
This is going to be the "chaos with Ed Miliband" tweet of 2022
You can sense the palpable despair of most of the broadsheet punditry as it dawns on them that Liz Truss is in all likelihood going to be Prime Minister and will probably go on to smash Keir Starmer in the general election.
