What happens to the knowledge inside an organisation when the people who carry it leave? Not the documents. Not the Notion pages or shared drives. The actual intelligence. The reasoning behind decisions. The pattern recognition that took years to build. The understanding of *why* something was tried, *why* it failed, *what* was learned. In almost every organisation, that intelligence lives inside individual human minds. And when someone leaves — it disappears with them. This is the problem @DrazenKapusta and I have been working on. Today, we're publishing something we're genuinely proud of. 🧠 THE SHARED BRAIN: When Second Brains Start Thinking Together With #TheCurator v3.0.0-beta, a personal second brain — a living neural network of markdown files that compounds knowledge over time — can now be shared. Not as a static library. Not as a document archive. As a live, compounding collective wiki that every contributor can query with frontier AI models, navigate as a knowledge graph, and build on — without ever surrendering control of their private data. Here's what makes it different: ✦ You keep everything private. Only one chosen domain gets contributed. ✦ Your local LLM synthesises your changes before they leave your machine. ✦ The collective wiki resolves contradictions, attributes every fact, and compounds with every push. ✦ Every contributor pulls the result back locally — queryable via Claude, browsable in Obsidian. ✦ Zero vendor lock-in. GitHub a local app. That's the entire stack. The use cases are wide open: → Research teams whose combined reading is too vast for any one person → MBA cohorts building a collective knowledge graph across a full semester → Engineering teams where critical decisions live only in senior minds → Consulting firms whose accumulated insight walks out the door with every departure This feature was shaped by the Beautiful Mind thesis — our research on federated cognitive architecture and collective intelligence submitted to the EIC Pathfinder Challenge — co-developed with @DrazenKapusta at @COTRUGLI Business School. The second brain was always the beginning. The Shared Brain is where it becomes something else entirely. 📖 Full article links in the comments (Medium · Substack · GitHub) #Thecurator #SecondBrain #SharedBrain #KnowledgeManagement #AI #CollectiveIntelligence #COTRUGLIBusinessSchool #LabToLife

🚨🇪🇸 BREAKING — Spanish Scientists Cured Pancreatic Cancer in Rats. “This new study is exciting preclinical research — pancreatic tumors disappeared in mice using a triple-drug therapy! ⚠️ Important: this is not yet a human cure. How can we best bridge the gap from lab breakthroughs to safe, effective human treatments? Early research like this gives real hope and momentum to scientists working toward future cures. #PancreaticCancer #CancerResearch #MarianoBarbacid #Science #LabToLife #MEDHM #MedX @IhabFathiSulima

🚨🇪🇸 BREAKING (with context): Spanish scientists at CNIO eliminated pancreatic tumors in mice using a novel triple-drug therapy. 🧬 Huge preclinical breakthrough — tumors disappeared completely in mouse models with no major toxicity. ⚠️ Important: This is not a human cure. 📍 Human trials are still required. Success in mice does not guarantee success in humans. 💡 Science moves in careful, incremental steps. Every cure starts in the lab. Let’s celebrate knowledge, evidence, and progress, not hype. #PancreaticCancer #CancerResearch #Science #MarianoBarbacid #Oncology #Innovation #LabToLife #ScientificBreakthrough #EvidenceBasedً #MEDHM #MedX @IhabFathiSulima

Mark the date - Nov. 11th at #KoreaUniversity - the 2025 #LabToLife research festival will take place. Find out how your university studies in science (fundamental & applied) can kick-start a successful career in industry or academia. Department of physics is present w/ a poster!

There is a need to do contextualized research through local scientists. Did you know Uganda has some of the best Agroscientists in Africa? I was the first person to commercialize tissue culture in the region. ~ Mr. Erostus Nsubuga #SPARKU2025 #LabToLife

1/6🔬 This #ResearchFriday, we're hearing from Dr Chrissie Jones (@JonesChristinaJ) who leads a Diabetes UK-funded project at the University of Surrey, looking at how we can prevent eating disorders in children with type 1 diabetes. This is her #LabToLife story:

Thank you to our fantastic panel who've given such a comprehensive overview of the research and innovations in diabetes. Great to hear about everything from immunotherapy to delay the onset of type 1 diabetes to the DiRECT trial investigating type 2 diabetes remission #LabtoLife

.@DerekThomasUK is now starting our meeting to celebrate 100 years since the discovery of insulin and giving us the chance to look to the future of research. Thank you to everyone who has joined us, especially our great line up of speakers #LabtoLife.
