  1. 1/4 Is it true women are more verbal? 🗣️ The "20k vs 7k words" claim is a myth, but the science is wild! Girls often have 30% more FOXP2 (the "language protein"), helping them talk earlier. Women also use both brain hemispheres for speech, creating integrated processing of words and emotions. Let’s dive into why we talk the way we do! 🧵👇 #Science #Communication #Gender #Biology #Psychology #Sociology #Language #Speech #Brain #Nature #Nurture #Evolution #Research #Data #Debunked

  2. How where you grow up affects your personality.

    Would you be a different person if you had grown up somewhere else?

    A growing body of research is helping to answer this age-old nature verses nurture question and what it means for your identity.

    Next month I start a local civics class my city is offering, giving me monthly access to key people in my local government. I've organized two trash clean ups in that time, the second one having 15 people turn out to help clean a waterway.

    Getting involved locally has def gone hand in hand with a sense of nurture & nourish.

    If we're disconnected while starved for connection, starting by caring about others through nurture & nourish seems as smart a place as any.

    Certainly rings true for me. A year ago I started volunteering 2 hrs a week at our community garden. About 8 months ago, going to city council meetings, and speaking. I formed a pro-bike group, and we're advocating successfully for bike paths.

    My partner @agni made an observation about grass roots marketing in general - rather than spend 100% of time blasting out what you're doing, spend 80% nourishing and nurturing others, caring about them, boosting them, giving them support and love. Then 20% saying "oh hey we're organizing downtown every other sat at a coffee shop".

    What turns that around? What changed that for me, why did I start to care?

    I think the need is self-apparent - as residents, we regularly feel disconnected and disinterested in the place where we live. What turns that around? What changed that for me, why did I start to care?

  14. @DrALJONES During my decades of observing #genetic and #sociology research, the needle on the balance between #nature and #nurture has only been moving incrementally in *one* direction. I don’t anticipate a reversal. 🤷🏻‍♂️

  15. A quotation from Hugo, Victor:

    «
    If the soul is left in darkness, sins will be committed. The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but he who causes the darkness.
     
    [Cette âme est pleine d’ombre, le péché s’y commet. Le coupable n’est pas celui qui y fait le péché, mais celui qui y a fait l’ombre.]
    »

  16. Daily Inspiration: "Any idea worth growing should always be planted!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

    From small ideas, big things can grow!

    That's what I was thinking about yesterday as I spent time with my long-time friend Marc Jeftovic. He's the CEO of easyDNS, a tech company that, well, helps you manage your DNS (or domain name service setup.) It might not sound like a service like that involves much, but I can tell you it's an extremely important one - and one that his company excels at. In fact, from its humble beginnings in the 90s, it's become one of the major players in this space in the world.

    Some years ago, Mark planted the seeds of an idea in my mind. I didn't chase the opportunity at that time, because I wasn't quite receptive to it, but the thought did take root in the recesses of my mind. Some years later, when I needed to challenge myself to take on a new role, the tiny seed of an idea bloomed, and today, it is fully grown. That experience has taught me a lot about the role of mentoring, leadership, and guidance.

    Every great idea needs to be planted, solidly and firmly as a foundation for a future of growth. Every great opportunity that might spark a new solution needs a wick that might one day be lit. Every wonderful potential future should be shared so that it can be carefully nurtured to its full potential. Every single concept needs planting so that it might eventually be harvested.
    One of the most important things you might ever do with what you do, how you think, and the mindset you carry about with you is to plan that idea as a seed within the minds of others. Our role as innovators and leaders is to challenge people to discard their old reality so that they might discover a new one.

    We should inspire people with a goal that involves a better future if only they might find a pathway to get there.

  18. Dear Friends of Butterflies and bees,
    I do like the buzz and fluttering, the sting and hummmming. Next week in London it will be warm. All going well the chrysalis awaken. I will be allocating flowerings and scents to their attraction. Insects have been hiding and will now blossom. Flowers at the ready for London heat waving.

    I do my bit to bite back at mind and physical environmental poisoning.
    #Raying to Mater #Nurture #Nature for confirmation that ye olde crones are uncrinkling their cones.

    Ower after our hour of power.

  19. I'm going to bed thinking...at least I'll be dead & buried & not be alive to witness #humans killing the last of our #AncientForests.

    I'll #nurture & #protect what I can, while alive. I will plant & sow, despite.
