Synesthesia Research, Coaching, and Life After the Lab with Carli Fine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I had the pleasure of speaking with Carli Fine a few days ago for the second episode after returning to Across STEM with YSI this month.Early in my conversation with Carli, she traces back her entire career to a single book she read in middle school: a coming-of-age novel called A Mango-Shaped Space by Wendy Mass, about a girl who has synesthesia. At the time, Carli didn’t know that she was neurodivergent herself. She just knew middle school was hard, that she sometimes felt out of step with the
What you’ve been told about neuroplasticity is wrong (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Neuroplasticity has become something of a self-help slogan.“Rewire your brain for wealth.”“Rewire your brain for love.”They say meditate for 20 minutes and grow new neurons like you’re levelling up a character in a game.It sounds like magic.

Addiction... (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Roughly 40-60% of people treated for addiction relapse at some point. When it’s said like that, it sounds more like a verdict on willpower, on character, on how badly someone actually wanted to get better.But then take a look at relapse rates for chronic diseases nobody even moralizes about. Type 1 diabetes sits at 30-50%. Hypertension and asthma both run 50-70%. Addiction’s numbers land smack down the middle of that range, not as some special case of moral failure, but as an ordinary chronic co
