📚 Are you looking for a new and inspiring book to help you kick off your 2025 reading goals? As we set our sights on the new year and making it an impactful one, our #SEMbioBookClub book recommendation for the month of January is James Clear’s 𝐀𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐇𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐬. This book dives into the power of small, consistent changes that compound over time, making it the perfect read for anyone looking to set meaningful goals this year for professional and personal growth. 🚀 Unlike resolutions (which often fade before February...), 𝐀𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐇𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐬 puts the emphasis on building systems to create lasting change. The book's actionable advice on how to “stack” habits, break bad patterns, and design an environment for success resonates with the challenges and opportunities we each face in our daily roles. 📣 Pick up a copy or download the audiobook and join us this month as we start the new year with purpose - one habit at a time! What habit are you looking to build (or break) this year? Let’s inspire each other! 🌟 #weareSEMbio #BookClub #Bibliophile #NewYearNewHabits

🧠 Fascinating article about the brain, which is a beautifully complex and sometimes crazy thing. Some people can taste colors or hear sounds in colors, and some people - a very small percentage of the population - have what's called anauralia, or a "silent mind." "𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧’𝐭 𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐚 𝐝𝐨𝐠 𝐛𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐧. 𝐒𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐧’𝐭 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐜𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐬. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐧𝐨 𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬." The University of Auckland has been delving deeper into this topic and will be bringing together scientists, philosophers, musicians, poets, and writers to explore the intricacies of auditory imagination at the Mind’s Ear and Inner Voice conference in early 2025. #MedicalAffairs #Neurology #ExploringtheBrain
