377: Up to Date | Cell Adaptation, Creativity Measurement, and Visual Perception
“If you think of mechanisms of persuasion, arguments, our ability to remember information when it’s couched in a story—these have been, you know, techniques for memory, for persuasion, for millennia. Something about the human brain seems to be inclined to process information when it’s in that narrative form.”
This week, we examine a recent discovery that certain types of cancer cells may allow us to better understand how cells adapt to the intracellular environment (and explain what the intracellular environment is). Indre discusses how she and her students have recently been working on methods of measuring creativity. And we look at some new research focusing on the hunting method used by archerfish in order to study aspects of visual perception.
