The Face of the Deep by Jacob Twersky. It’s a novel written by a blind man about blind characters published in 1954. Its just a really interesting view into society at that time, the writer’s views, and the character’s struggles. Its not the best book but its certainly unique

So glad someone already said it. I’m a neuroscience PhD student who works with brain organoids and the article is absolutely ridiculous.
Also, I’m not aware of any labs or research that has been able to produce brain organoids with functional blood vessels. Having a necrotic core is normal for old organoids.
Very cool! I’m no expert in cosmology but I was familiar with some if the evidence for dark matter, namely rotation curves, and its really cool to hear about plausible alternate theories.
