Storytelling and science: how fiction results in more behavior change than non-fiction
Why fiction is good for you – Boston.com.
New studies show that in fact a steady diet including some fiction is good for us and results in more effective behavior change and learning than non-fiction. This is because of cognitive “shields” we put up when reading non-fiction. Also fiction acts as a social glue to hold cultures together according to anthropologists. And it in general makes us more empathetic and thoughtful.

Biotechs engineer ancient organisms and speed product development
New Boston biotech companies such as Ginkgo BioWorks, Cambrian Innovation, and Manus Biosynthesis are tapping into ancient organisms and new IT capabilities to produce new solutions that are environmentally clean, US based, and fast with as little as 6 month product development life cycles. Gingko notes that 1/4 of their employees are software developers and they are run more like a chip fabrication factory, with robotic automation and bar-coding than a bio lab. The products they are developing include new electrofuels, fine chemicals such as flavors, fragrances, remediation technologies, bio-similars support and new genetic security systems using DOE, NSF, and DARPA grants.

Hybrid Calling: Say Goodbye to Big Cell
Over the past month I’ve been using Google voice and other Wifi based VOIP apps as my primary personal phone service due to a disinterest in paying Verizon >$100 a month over a 2 year contract for a piddling number of calls and text messages.
