Two activities I’m personally quite excited to go to are Sarah Constantin’s “Write Your First Fact Post” and Alicorn’s “Write Your First GlowFic” (I want to try to do both of these things!).
I’m on deck to run something but haven’t decided what yet. Some overlapping possibilities I’m toying with:
Practicum for CFAR-style “could you solve this in an hour?” focused on health, environmental health, and, uh, looking for a good term for things like cognition improvement and better fitness. Super health?
The first sounds like the sort of thing that turns out to be surprisingly useful (nobody ever gives me health advice). Mm, maybe folks can agree-react to this sentence if they too want to go to such a session?
Health and longevity blogger from Unaging.com here. I’ve submitted talks on optimal diet, optimal exercise, how to run sub 3:30 for your first marathon, and sugar is fine—fight me!
Looking forward to extended, rational health discussions!
Nice, just had a good call with Alkjash, who is coming and will be preparing 2 layman-level math talks about questions he’s been thinking about.
Other ideas we chatted about having at LessOnline include maybe having some discussions about doing research inside and outside of academia, and also about learning from GlowFic writers how to write well collaboratively. (Let me know if you’d be interested in either of these!)

Emotional titration

Writing collaboratively is definitely something David and I have been trying to figure out how to do productively.
