- My TED talk, 2 years ago this month, is ever more relevant today as neuro tech becomes mainstream. Can you help me reach my goal of reaching 50k more people with my talk in 2021? Please retweet! And watch too! #neurotech #cognitiveliberty buff.ly/2U3Zsub via @TEDTalks
- My @TEDTalks is live! Your right to mental privacy in the age of brain-sensing tech. Let me know what you think!
- A little good news in the midst of tragedy: I have been selected for a distinguished professorship and am being awarded the named chair: Robinson O. Everett Distinguished Professor of Law, effective July 1, 2020 (Judge Everett also mooted me in law school!)
- Dear @CDCgov and @US_FDA: We parents w/kids under 5 want guidance on #PediatricCovid risks to our kids and how to navigate those risks. We are tired of protecting our kids in an information void. In case it might help others similarly situated, here's how I am thinking about it🧵
- Launch day for The Battle for Your Brain is here! 📚🎉 What better day to start this journey than on #PiDay. Like the never-ending digits of Pi, the battle for control over our minds has waged forever. But it’s never been more urgent to join the fight. #PubDay #BattleforTheBrain
- I'm leaving for #TED23 in a week. And I'm feeling nervous and excited. Nervous because my talk isn't committed to memory (just yet). And ... it's a @TEDTalks! But so excited to share my views about the coming age of #BrainTransparency.
- I'm frustrated by how little public health agencies are doing to protect children <5 from #COVID19. My editorial in the @washingtonpost today calling for targeted guidance & the catch-22 @CDC & @FDA are in b/c of their failures w/r/t <5. #ImmunizeUnder5s
- The professor trying to protect our private thoughts from technology
- I don't normally give in to conspiracy theories but am a hard time finding a rational explanation re: FDA delay on Moderna approval for children <5. VRBPAC just voted unanimously to authorize its use for kids <5. So... the data is good. It has been for awhile. WTF?
- Did you see the news about the @Apple patent for #EEG sensors in earbuds? It's the tip of the iceberg. And we need to start talking about it. Your right to mental privacy in the age of brain-sensing tech (Nita Farahany | TED2023) go.ted.com/6Wn9 via @TEDTalks
