Skill Issues | MIT Admissions
I guess the best way I have to express this is actually through a line from Adventure Time. There’s a scene in which Jake, the older brother (who… also happens to be a very elastic dog) assures the main character, Finn, that “sucking at something is the first step to being really good at something”

Reintegration Among High-Profile Ex-Offenders | SpringerLink
The defiant notion that we would forever overcome nature has given way to pride of a different kind: increasingly we celebrate our ability to bend without breaking, to adapt as gracefully as possible to a natural world whose temper we’ve come to respect.

scientists have figured out how to genetically modify microbes so they secrete custom molecules, kind of like changing a line of code in a computer program to produce a different result

Every act of communication is an act of tremendous courage in which we give ourselves over to two parallel possibilities: the possibility of planting into another mind a seed sprouted in ours and watching it blossom into a breathtaking flower of mutual understanding; and the possibility of being wholly misunderstood, reduced to a withering weed.

The tool could go into optometrist offices and health-care clinics to screen more people, who could be referred to a neurologist for specialized care if needed. Potentially, it could replace costly brain scans.
