Not only that, but there is a Nobel prize (or 2 or 3 or 4) behind most of those fundamental discoveries.
Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine.
If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

Interacting processes operating on vastly different timescales (from milliseconds to millennia) shape emergence & properties of human language(s). Roles of biology & culture, & the complex interplay between them, can be empirically investigated in humans, nonhuman animals & computational models. 8/n

I wrote a little bit about the "missing heritability" question and several recent studies that have brought it to a close. A short 🧵
The missing heritability question is now (mostly) answered

And the next step? Full voxel-level modeling.
Recent numerical advances cracked the scalability barrier. Voxel-level hierarchical modeling is now feasible, revealing just how punishing traditional multiple-comparison adjustments really are.
