Why writing is the most underrated investment skill
Clear writing and clear thinking go hand in hand. While the exercise may seem trivial, articulating our ideas through words on a page rather than in our heads alone is a revealing experiment: Our views may start the same but often materialize differently. That’s because writing encourages us to slow down, calibrate our thoughts, and test the true health of our ideas.
Writing reveals what we know versus what we understand.
Writing enhances self-awareness
Writing improves our ability to discern insight from noise
Writing serves as “lane assist” for our investment process
Writing sheds light on the quality of our decisions

Bacteria convert plastic bottles into paracetamol
Bacteria can be used to turn plastic waste into painkillers, researchers have found, opening up the possibility of a more sustainable process for producing the drugs.
Chemists have discovered E coli can be used to create paracetamol, also known as acetaminophen, from a material produced in the laboratory from plastic bottles.
The researchers say the results are exciting as they suggest plastic waste can be converted into biological material.
The team say that by using this form of E coli they were able to turn the PET-based starting material into paracetamol in under 24 hours, with low emissions and a yield of up to 92%.
While further work would be needed to produce paracetamol in this way at commercial levels, the results could have a practical application.
“It enables, for the first time, a pathway from plastic waste to paracetamol, which is not possible using biology alone, and it’s not possible using chemistry alone,” Wallace said.
