Tips for getting the most from meeting - http://cn.wsj.com/big5/20120224/eoe082439.asp?source=rss

No meeting should ever be more than an hour, under penalty of death.
Every meeting should have a clearly defined mission statement.
Do your homework before the meeting.
Make it optional.
Summarize to-dos at the end of the meeting.

Talk less, listen more. The biggest predictor of ineffectiveness in a 1:1 was a manager talking more than the direct report. The ideal balance involves the direct report speaking between 50% and 90% of the time. While the agenda will dictate some of this, the manager should avoid talking more than their direct. This is not as easy as it sounds: We talk about ourselves because it feels good. But resist the temptation. - https://www.fastcompany.com[..]guide-to-make-them-suck-less-and-succeed

When I first spoke to McGaugh, he told me that the real question at the heart of HSAM wasn’t why his subjects remember, but why we forget. “The overall summary of all of this is that they’re bad forgetters,” he said. And forgetting is what humans do; often what we need to do. The title character in Jorge Luis Borges’s story Funes the Memorious, who acquires a perfect memory as the result of an accident, can no longer sleep because he is kept awake by the thousand mundane memories that whined like mosquitoes in his ears. The “peculiar mixture of forgetting with our remembering,” wrote William James, one of the founders of modern psychology, “is the very keel on which our mental ship is built.” “If we remembered everything,” he continued, “we should on most occasions be as ill off as if we remembered nothing.” - https://www.theguardian.com[..]total-recall-the-people-who-never-forget

A Jolt to the Brain: Targeted Electrical Stimulation During Sleep May Enhance Memory - https://nicenews.com[..]tion-during-sleep-enhances-memory-study/

The exact reason why these brains remain preserved while other soft tissues deteriorate remains a mystery. But it might have to do with the brain’s unique chemical composition. The brain has a 1-to-1 ratio of proteins to lipids, which is distinct from other soft tissues that contain more carbohydrates and have different protein-to-lipid ratios. This specific ratio could be crucial, especially when metals like iron are introduced, potentially causing proteins and lipids to bind together and last longer. Many such preserved brains were found to contain iron oxide — also known as rust. https://www.zmescience.com[..]d-intact-human-brains-baffle-scientists/

Conservation laws are very useful for physics. Basically, when a particular measurable property of an isolated physical system does not change in time (and it is conserved), that is described by a conservation law. - https://www.zmescience.com[..]/?goal=0_3b5aad2288-11c151253e-242734313

Accuracy errors typically come from systematic errors — as in, your measuring device/method isn’t good enough to detect whatever you aim to detect accurately. Precision errors are more often associated with noise, randomness, electronic errors, temperature, or other factors that affect measurements. Accuracy is the measurement of conformity, precision is the measure of statistical variability. - https://www.zmescience.com[..]/science/precision-vs-accuracy-15082022/
