How to Become a Modern Day Polymath

Here's the thing- Becoming a polymath is all about balance and relativity. Figuring out the exact best path for yourself is a journey that only you yourself can undertake. Pursue too many things at one time and you'll spread yourself too thin, only developing a cursory knowledge of subjects. Focus too narrowly and you'll lack the breadth of knowledge that is so characteristic of the renaissance person.

How to Ultralearn Like Tony Stark

2008's Ironman blew me away in its depiction of the swaggering, quippy, and casually genius protagonist Tony Stark, played to perfection by Robert Downey Jr. After the lackluster comic book movies of the 90s and early oughts, I didn't really expect much, but Tony Stark turned out to be a man of science who made everything about physics and engineering seem like the coolest thing you could possibly do. The film inspired in me, as it did for many, an intense curiosity about tech and a desire to understand the world at large. In short, to learn as much as possible.

The Code Breaker Book Review

The Code Breaker: Jennifer Doudna, Gene Editing, and the Future of the Human Race, by veteran biographer Walter Isaacson, covers a multitude of areas related to the exciting field of gene editing. Although not strictly a biography of Dr. Jennifer Doudna, the book does center on the Nobel prize-winning biochemist and continually returns to her story as she and her lab worked to discover and engineer a system that can perform genome editing.

Why I Read

Although I rarely spend an entire day just reading, I would happily do so if I didn’t have other things I want to accomplish. Once upon a time, I had to force myself to read, like a kid who doesn’t want to take his medicine. Now, it’s one of my favorite things to do. Sometimes a reward at the end of the day. And nearly always the first thing I do every morning.
