A new scan lets scientists see inside the human body in 3D color
A new imaging breakthrough combines ultrasound and light-based techniques to generate vivid 3D images that show both tissue structure and blood vessel activity. Developed by researchers at Caltech and USC, the system delivers detailed results quickly and without radiation or contrast dyes. It has already been used to image multiple parts of the human body. The approach could significantly improve cancer detection, nerve-damage monitoring, and brain imaging.

Media narratives support institutions, institutions protect power. Violence is reframed as policy and exploitation is masked as economic growth. What benefits the few is called order and what resists that order is presented as danger. This is how domination sustains itself. It bakes itself into daily routines, consumption, education, healthcare, the air we breathe and the stories we’re told. History gets centralised so that collective memory is rewritten. Narratives shift depending on who profits and whose losses are treated as ‘acceptable’. What’s often erased in these narratives is the power carried by the most marginalised. ancestral knowledge, collective memory and ways of organising life that dont centre extraction or domination. That wisdom isn’t forgotten by accident. It’s actively suppressed because it offers alternatives to the structures that profit from our dependence. Some suffering is recognised as a humanitarian crisis while others are presented as geopolitical conflict. Some lives are acknowledged as ‘innocent civilians’ and others are reduced to ‘case numbers’. Either glorified, ignored, erased, or forgotten? But solidarity isn’t selective!! and justice doesn’t change its meaning depending on who is being harmed. Supporting the oppressed means opposing imperial domination everywhere, every time. And one of the best ways to do that (“what can we do?”) is by truly learning context. Read. Listen. Discuss. It’s free. And it is liberating. Because we see that nothing we’re living is isolated. These are repeating patterns. I don’t see art, history, politics, health and spiritual life as separate domains. They feel more like different expressions of the same living process of making meaning, remembering and contemplating what kind of reality we agree to inhabit. When the collective narrative shifts, justice and peace will stop sounding utopian and start feeling like the most natural way to exist. I don’t know when that will manifest in this mysterious play of paradoxes but I choose to believe it’s possible and worth working toward.".

This Is Why You Have To Care (I Can’t Believe I’m Having To Write This Again)
This Is Why You Have To Care (I Can’t Believe I’m Having To Write This Again)
It’s a complicated issue.  Maybe it doesn’t affect you directly.  Maybe you’ve got a lot going on in your own life or your own community.  Maybe you’d rather not think about it.  Maybe you’d rather not hear from me about it.  I get it.  These are difficult, divisive times.  There are plenty of reasons to turn off your brain or your heart.  About six years ago, I wrote a piece about our obligation to care about what happens to other people. I wrote it in part because I was frustrated by the news that the sheriff in the rural county I live in was engaging in targeted traffic stops at night so they could detain and deport Latino immigrants (I was myself pulled over driving back from the airport one night but of course immediately let go as soon as the officer approached my car). I wrote it in part because of the videos I’d seen of the killings of George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery. I thought about it again the last few weeks as I watched the same horrifying videos that you may have watched. One of the things I said in that piece was that I didn’t like the idea of “privilege” being the focus of the conversation in the discussions about the police or race. The fact that my publisher sends me early copies of books before they are released, I said, that’s a privilege. Something I didn’t earn, something that can disappear, something that I enjoy but am not entitled to. But not being harassed on the street by the police or by vigilantes? Not being strangled to death on suspicion of some minor crime? Not being tear gassed or thrown to the ground for protesting government policies? That’s not a privilege. That’s a constitutional right. Actually, it’s more than a constitutional right. According to the Founding Fathers and many philosophers before and since, the rights to life and liberty and property are beyond constitutional: They are inalienable. The right to not be murdered, to not be harassed by people with guns, to not be targeted, exploited or incarcerated unfairly, to speak your mind, to pursue your religion, for your home to be a safe haven, these are not things that governments give to their people. These are things that God—or generations of evolution and progress—endowed us with at birth, and that we in turn give governments the power to protect.  All of us. Black. White. Rich. Poor. Young. Old. Republican. Democrat. Socialist. Even annoying, obnoxious idiots. If these basic rights are threatened for one person, for one community, it’s threatened for all people. Oh but these people came here illegally… But previous administrations deported a lot of people. But some of these people are criminals…Due process. Due process. Due process. That’s the answer to every one of those objections. It doesn’t matter if you’re a serial killer, everyone is entitled to their day in court. Look, the punishment for filming I.C.E is not summary execution. The punishment for fleeing in your vehicle is not extrajudicial murder, even if a federal agent thinks you’re “a fucking bitch.” (Being shot in the face three times is not the punishment for hitting a federal officer with your car either, it’s worth saying!) The punishment for coming to the United States illegally—the punishment for overstaying your visa or indeed any kind of violation of immigration laws—is and never will be a trip to an El Salvadorian torture prison. Immigration is a complicated issue. Crime is complicated. My dad was a cop for twenty years, I understand it’s a hard job. But this is not complicated. Heavily armed masked agents should not be storming American streets demanding to see people’s papers. They should not be harassing citizens, making arrests and sorting things out later. They should not be harassing people because they don’t look or sound like citizens. They should not be entering schools or hospitals or courthouses or churches to try to take people away. OK?  It should not be controversial to say that.  In fact, it is our job as human beings (and Stoics) to say it.  Callous indifference to suffering by the authorities towards minorities or the poor or the voiceless is not just a lamentable fact of modern life, it’s an active crime. One we are complicit in, if we ignore it or rationalize it or tolerate it.  Marcus Aurelius wrote two thousand years ago that “you can also commit an injustice by doing nothing.” The Stoics believed that harm to one was to harm all. Martin Luther King explained this idea of sympatheia beautifully. “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere,” he said. “We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.” I understand that this might not be what you want to hear from me. I write about self-improvement. I write about philosophy. I write about history. That’s true. But what do you think the point of the study of those three things is? It’s not so you can make a little more money. It’s not so you can live in your own bubble or have interesting dinner conversations. It’s so you can be better. So you can do the right thing when it counts. You have to realize that if the state can find ways to deprive someone of their rights, then they can find ways to deprive you of yours. If they can get away with brutalizing one group, eventually they’ll brutalize you. In fact, this is an inexorable law of power, whether it’s held by segregationists or Stalin, bureaucrats following orders or malevolent dictators. When you give power an inch, it takes another. When you allow evil to happen because you are not its victim, it will inevitably find its way to you—or if not you, to someone you love, or to your great-great-grandchildren. That’s what Martin Niemöller’s famous poem “First they came…” is about. [...]
