  Tech Startups - Building and...

  The foundation of every successful tech startup lies in adopting the right mindset—one that embraces uncertainty, thrives under pressure, and is relentlessly focused on solving real problems. Unlike traditional business models that may prioritize structure and predictability, startups demand a different kind of thinking: bold, experimental, and deeply resilient. The startup mindset is not just about launching a product; it’s about challenging the status quo and envisioning a better way of doing things. 
  At the heart of this mindset is the willingness to take risks. Entrepreneurs must accept that failure is not just a possibility—it’s often a necessary step toward success. Embracing risk doesn’t mean acting recklessly, but rather being comfortable making decisions without having all the answers. It means testing assumptions, learning quickly from setbacks, and moving forward with renewed insight. The ability to pivot when something isn’t working is a hallmark of great startup founders. 
  Equally important is cultivating a culture that thrives on problem-solving. Tech startups are often born out of frustration with how something works—or doesn’t work—in the world. Founders who succeed are those who remain obsessed with their customers’ pain points and are constantly looking for innovative ways to address them. This requires curiosity, empathy, and a drive to keep iterating until a solution clicks. It also involves surrounding oneself with a team that shares this passion and can offer diverse perspectives on how to improve and evolve.

  Catching cancer early remains the single best way to combat a disease that is the second-leading killer in both the US and worldwide. But the vast majority of resources in the fight against cancer are devoted to relatively ineffective late-stage treatments. Early Detection examines this important anomaly in an accessible and expertly researched survey.In a co-authorship that brings together the passion and urgency of someone touched deeply by the experience of cancer with the knowledge of a skilled science writer, Ratner and Bonislawski narrate compelling case studies across a range of screening programs and different forms of cancer. They look at the science underpinning early detection and discuss the organizational and social challenges of widespread screening, a dimension that has been shown to be especially important in the COVID-19 pandemic. And they call for the government and the medical establishment to provide resources for expanding screening, especially in economically disadvantaged communities that have traditionally been underserved.

  From Chaos to Stability - How...

  Edward Ziff, Israel Rosenfield

  At the heart of Israel Rosenfield and Edward Ziff's inquiry is the nature of brain function. The sensory world is disordered and chaotic. There are no labels for tables, chairs, or airplanes, and indeed there are no colors, sounds, or smells, only photons, airwaves, odorant molecules, and so on, which are unlabeled and impossible to "know." 
   
   
   
  To make sense of this chaos, the brain must simplify the sensory inputs by creating, or inventing, the colors, sounds, smells, forms, and faces that are perceived in consciousness, which become a proxy for the chaotic world in which we live. The brain's ability to generalize and categorize these invented perceptions, and to relate them to one another, enables it to form memories, which are not fixed representations of things past, but a dynamic and malleable function of the brain that is relational. 
   
   
   
  When formation of these worlds breaks down, neurological differences arise. Although the mechanisms that transform sensory chaos into the simplified perceptions experienced in consciousness remain elusive, Rosenfield and Ziff relate what they have learned by means of imaging brain activity and by mapping the neural circuits that comprise memory traces. In addition, the authors offer perspectives for future studies of consciousness.
