Welcome to my daily learning journal. Here is today’s list:
1. Ted Talk – Suzie Sheehy: The case for curiosity-driven research. “Seemingly pointless scientific research can lead to extraordinary discoveries, says physicist Suzie Sheehy. In a talk and tech demo, she shows how many of our modern technologies are tied to centuries-old, curiosity-driven experiments — and makes the case for investing in more to arrive at a deeper understanding of the world.” (ted.com description)
2. Cataract Surgery – Uday Devgan MD – 1184: diamond blades / keratomes. Excellent pearls.
3. Andrew Lee MD – Homonymous hemianopsia with no structural correlate.
Dr. Lee’s neuro-ophthalmology reviews are perfect for lifelong learning.
4. Gautam Baid – The Joys of Compounding: The Passionate Pursuit of Lifelong Learning, Revised and Updated (Heilbrunn Center for Graham & Dodd Investing Series). Chapter 26, “Read More History and Fewer Forecasts.” Superb pearls on ignoring noise & optimizing a long-term plan.
I continue to enjoy books on value investing, lifelong learning, mental models, and more. Excellent chapters with amazing quotations.
