The Settlers’ review by joshuabriond • Letterboxd

watched this for research for a piece i’m working on, and wow. this didn’t teach me much that i didn’t already know. but i still find myself stunned by such casual depravity. specifically with regard to the vigilante/deputized extremist settlers who manage to have some level of influence on israel’s governing body—who do not even see the far-right policy of the current administration as viable or working fast enough to disappear or rather exterminate any semblance of palestinian life.
Scaling in Biological Systems: A Molecular-Ensemble Duality

Feb 5, 2025 | biorxiv.org | Josh Baker |Julie A. Ellsworth

AbstractWe have observed in muscle the statistical mechanics of irreversible chemical thermodynamics, revealing the solution to multiple seemingly unrelated paradoxes in science. Analogous to Boltzmann's H theorem, we observe that chemical reaction energy landscapes (ensemble entropic wells) irreversibly evolve over time, pulling reversible chemical reactions forward in time.

The Order — Justin Kurzel | In Review Online

Dec 6, 2024 | inreviewonline.com | Luke Gorham |Josh Baker

Since his 2011 debut feature Snowtown, Justin Kurzel’s films have displayed a laser-like focus on rough, sometimes savage men and the environments that foster their violent behaviors. Serial killers, outlaws, one of Shakespeare’s most brutal protagonists, and even a video-game assassin are all specters of a harsh worldview where the weak suffer and an uncaring universe summons forth unspeakable acts of rape, torture, and mass murder.
High-fidelity predictions of diffusion in the brain microenvironment

Section snippetsSignificanceMultiple particle tracking (MPT) is a microscopy technique that uses nanoparticle trajectory tracking to perform microrheological characterization of biological environments, including the vitreous of the eye, mucosal membranes, intracellular environments, and the brain extracellular space. MPT can generate gigabytes of data and is a prime candidate to benefit from advancements in machine learning and artificial intelligence to extract deeper insights.

In animator Jérémy Clapin’s live action feature debut Meanwhile on Earth, Elsa (Megan Northam), sister of astronaut Franck (depicted by Yoan Germain Le mat, voiced by Sébastien Pouderoux), finds herself adrift and grieving after Franck becomes lost in space and presumed dead. She spends her time working at the nursing home her mother runs, floating about at clubs, hanging out with her little brother Vincent (Roman Williams), and keeping a sketchbook of some of the people she encounters.
Quantized Thermodynamics, Nested Resonant Structures, and the Entropic Stability of Life

Oct 12, 2024 | biorxiv.org | Josh Baker

AbstractBiological systems are fundamentally containers of thermally fluctuating atoms that through unknown mechanisms are structurally layered across many thermal scales from atoms to amino acids to primary, secondary, and tertiary structures to functional proteins to functional macromolecular assemblies and up. Understanding how chemical thermodynamics scales across these layered structures is central to describing biological structure and function.
