Newly detailed [nerve links between brain and other organs](https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2021/06/newly-detailed-nerve-links-between-brain-and-other-organs-shape-thoughts-memories-and?ref=ivarhagendoorn.com) shape thoughts, memories, and feelings.

[The landscapes inside us](https://www.nybooks.com/articles/2021/07/01/wayfinding-landscapes-inside-us/?ref=ivarhagendoorn.com). Essay/book review by Robert Macfarlane. “Our navigational ability as a species is closely connected to our ability to tell stories about ourselves that unfold both backward and forward in time.”

[Interview](https://www.quantamagazine.org/melanie-mitchell-trains-ai-to-think-with-analogies-20210714/?ref=ivarhagendoorn.com) with Melanie Mitchell.

The [mystery](https://www.quantamagazine.org/the-mystery-at-the-heart-of-physics-that-only-math-can-solve-20210610/?ref=ivarhagendoorn.com) at the heart of physics that only math can solve. The accelerating effort to understand the mathematics of quantum field theory will have profound consequences for both math and physics.

*What Is a Complex System?* by James Ladyman and Karoline Wiesner [reviewed](http://www.thebsps.org/reviewofbooks/kinney-on-ladyman-and-wiesner/?ref=ivarhagendoorn.com) by David Kinney.

The long reach of [family ties](https://science.sciencemag.org/content/373/6552/274?ref=ivarhagendoorn.com).
