I think giving people 1 "announcement" a week could work. We almost launched that feature a year ago. Might actually ship it.

One of my biggest regrets during my time at Stanford was that I never got to see a good concert at Frost Amphitheatre. Back then Frost was dead, now they started a festival there and they got Doechii to headline!!! https://stanforddaily.com/2025/02/11/frost-fest-2025-headliner-revealed-doechii-takes-center-stage/

Proud of my wife Dragana! In this podcast she explains our foundation's vision. We want children to ask questions, deal with ambiguity, and work with mentors from an early age. Most importantly, we want them to love science, because "love is the biggest magnet of them all"! https://youtu.be/lfYaJzGaxO0

TO MY MYSTERIOUS BENEFACTORS I got a full ride to Stanford University thanks to the Elsie B. Ballantyne fund. The Elsie B. Ballantyne foundation was formed in 1968 and it dissolved in 1972. That is all I could find out about them online. Yet a gift they made to Stanford paid my way through college. When I started my studies, I was informed that Mr. Robert Ballantyne was elderly and had trouble seeing, so I regularly wrote him thank-you notes in large letters informing him of my progress. When he passed way, I decided to write to his wife to send my condolences. Below is a verbatim copy of that letter. I never heard back from my mysterious benefactors, but they showed me the value and the joy of giving. Our foundation KANTAROT / КАНТАРОТ is a way of paying their gift forward. https://qantarot.substack.com/p/to-my-mysterious-benefactors

TO PDF OR NOT TO PDF? In September we organized NeuroLibre Day, and the most provocative lecture came from Dmitry Novikov, a professor at NYU I am a well-known PDF hater, but Dmitry made me question my assumptions and rethink the publishing incentive structure https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UASTR-BGLo

"Some truths keep swimming around in my memory, refusing to be forgotten and resurfacing in most unexpected times and places." I wrote this essay 10 years ago when I was applying for faculty positions. It got me the job. It still keeps me going. https://qantarot.substack.com/p/my-teaching-statement
