« Social determinants of cognitive aging trajectories across 39 countries »
Some people in their 80s have cognitive abilities similar to many 30-year-olds, others are severely diminished. How comes?

![Un plateau télé putassier où s’affiche dans un bandeau rouge omniprésent : « l’interview choc ». Le présentateur, face caméra, l’air grave : « Aujourd’hui un invité sulfureux, leader de la gauche actuelle la plus radicale… » En face, un petit bonhomme à cravate et moustache répond dans un sourire : « Bonjour, il faut des salaires décents et des hôpitaux fonctionnels. » Le présentateur en panique relit ses notes nerveusement, sans relancer. Ce sera pas pour aujourd’hui le prix Albert-Londres.

Souvent, on en parle comme une fatalité ou sur le ton de la plaisanterie. Mais des scientifiques ont montré que ce trait aurait une origine bien précise.

First time as an editor: the first two reviewers I invited on a manuscript agreed immediately. Normally I need to invite 10+ reviewers for two to accept, and it takes ages. Thanks to them!

New paper by @njudd.com shows that an additional year of education doesn't causally affect telomere length in old age, despite many (theory) accounts arguing otherwise. It's been desk rejected by 13 journals happy to publish small 'positive' telomere studies. Sigh. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

New personal record of desk rejects 🥳
I am taking a note of journals that take over a month for the desk 📖
It is also a unusual situation where pretty much everything has been already reviewed at eLife on our Neuro paper (click for open reviews), now the sample size is just substantially larger.

Very happy to see my invited article for Nature is out in the new issue. I wrote about computer vision, the AI surveillance industrial complex, and brilliant new research that shows just how deeply embedded the field of computer vision is in the surveillance pipeline. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Computer-vision research is hiding its role in creating ‘Big Brother’ technologies
Technologies that can interpret imagery have many potential applications. An innovative study of papers and patents in the field suggests one use case that overrides the others: human surveillance.
