Earlier this year , I wrote that 2022 seemed to be the year that ungrading really took hold in higher education, and that we can expect its prevalence and influence to increase through 2023.

Higher-than-usual levels of iron were first reported in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s disease in 1953. Meanwhile, with Parkinson’s, concentrations of iron in some vulnerable neurones are higher compared to healthy individuals of the same age.”. Surprising as it may seem, the human brain (and body) is full of trace metals.

During the school vacations I would excitedly bicycle the few miles to the nearby university library to check out the latest journals and the latest news about particle physics. The closest it gets is a chapter on CP violation (AKA time-reversal violation)—a longtime favorite topic of mine—but from a very particle-physics point of view.

But what about the bigger picture of the Wolfram Language?
