IT'S HAPPENING! 💥 I'm psyched to launch the collaboration between @qedscience.bsky.social & @openrxiv.bsky.social @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social! Preprint + q.e.d = your science is out there, and anyone can appreciate it. Let's care about making discoveries, and not on “getting published” (1/3) 👇

🚀 🚀 🚀 Our latest paper is out now: Age Deceleration and Reversal Gene Patterns in Dauer Diapause. We can learn from nature how aging of a whole organism with completely differentiated tissues can be slowed and how that organism can be completely rejuvenated.
