It’s an interview which does cover what he’s worked on and what he’s working on now. I’d recommend actually reading TFA but here’s a sample of what he did: > In my final year as a postdoc, I genetically engineered mice to have gentle touch neurons that responded to blue light. My plan was to stimulate the neurons with blue light and see what the mice did. > When I started my own lab in 2018, we were ready to start those experiments. I still remember the day the students came into my office to show me what they had found. It was like this eureka moment. When we activated neurons through the skin on the mice’s backs, the animals behaved as if they were being stroked there. That launched the whole project. We did a lot more behavioral tests and traced the pathway for social touch from the skin to the spinal cord to the reward centers in the brain.

It sounds like you just dislike magazines. The entire point of a magazine is to spend more time and make an enjoyable read with a longer form article. Just because you prefer newspapers doesn't mean it makes sense to shit on magazines: some of us like magazines.

Did you stop after the first paragraph or something?

It's even worse that half the article is just massive, fullscreen pictures of this guy. I don't know how people "read" these rags.

  God forbid we gaze upon the visage of a scientist. It must be horribly jarring to read a textbook and see pictures of Einstein and Curie...

    If there was anything worth reading in magazines I'd also be mad if I had to scroll past 8 pages that were just pictures of Einstein standing in his field.

      Don't read magazines. They have pictures of humans. And stay away from IEEE journals, too.

        You can still enjoy rags even if they're mostly fluff and photoshoots. You don't have to convince me it's okay.

        I didn't realize that you being mad was a sign of enjoyment. Perhaps somebody should look into this curious apparent overlap of pleasure and pain!

    But what if the images are set as div backgrounds?

This isn't a recipe. It's an article about a human. His story is the point. His science is cool too, if you're actually interested in the science, it's super easy to find his publications.
