Something to read, something to watch

Read: More about the April 9 poetry and judgment fest known as the Literary Death Match, Episode 8.

Watch: A remarkable talk by a brain scientist about what she discovered during her own stroke. I was thisclose to studying neuroscience, so the technical parts fascinated me, but her insights about how our brains and bodies translate the world are even better. (Warning: 20 minutes long and there's a real human brain onstage. But: totally worth your time.)
