Mary Oliver — Poetry Saved My Life

Neurologist, writer, motorcycle racer, weightlifter, swimmer, and enthusiast of ferns, cycads, cephalopods, and minerals—Oliver Sacks was a modern day Renaissance man. He was endlessly curious about the outer world, and the inner world of the brain, and inspired countless patients, readers, colleagues, and friends. Here we celebrate Sacks with recollections from those who knew him, and hear about his life in his own words, too, in archival Science Friday interviews dating back to 1995.

A Tribute to Oliver Sacks

“When you’re connecting soul to soul instead of ego to ego, you can create great things”

Do we passively live in a system we know is collapsing around us? Do we just go along, all the time knowing that everything our leaders say is not real? In a new BBC documentary [Hypernormalisation], Adam Curtis looks back to the 1970s to chart a course to today, where nothing seems certain and our political leaders strive above all else for stability in a world they no longer control.
