Great to see drugs I studied during my PhD are extending lifespan in mice!

My PhD advisor Dr McCormick has made great progress understanding the basic biology that these drugs impact, mostly unpublished, but it’s well on its way!
For now:

Asking for qPCR confirmation of RNA-seq is worse than asking an engineer to re-measure a laser scan with a tape measure

Many autosomal genes are expressed from only one allele or show consistent bias toward one.

How cells establish and maintain these allele-specific patterns remains a mystery — yet this choice may be a key determinant of lifespan or disease

There are a lot of aging studies, especially recently, about the mutation accumulation hypothesis. Hydra wants to contribute to the discussion, too.

Hydra has mammal-like mutation rates facilitating fast adaptation despite its nonaging phenotype. doi: 10.1101/gr.279025.124

🔥New Night Science paper!!
Discovery happens when your initial plans fall apart but it requires you to have a particular mindset: it's not extraverted, orderly, neurotic or agreeable that's the most important – discovery requires an OPENNESS to new ideas and unexpected insights.

Just locked in my spot at AnchorAGE May 11 - 14 📅

Ready to dive into aging science and gather insights!

I hope to see you there!

#StandUpForScience2025! Our greatest and most useful minds, get loud. If you support the opposition, it’s because you chose harming people over helping them. You’re either a part of the problem or a part of the solution. #science #Politics #activism #protest #DoNoHarm #scientificmethod #scientists

Prompt: "Explain _____ to me like I am 5 years old."

ChatGPT: "So, imagine you have a big box of crayons...."

LMAO

Well done, chat. Well done 👏👏👏

Good papers lead to more questions than they answer. That's because (as Blaise Pascal wrote) knowledge is like a sphere: the larger it gets the larger also its surface, which is its interface with the unknown.

Thanks to Bloomberg TV Wall Street Week, David Westin, Sam Hornblower for a superb look at the troubling state of play in Alzheimer's research, featuring my new book "Doctored" and insights by Matthew Schrag and @elisabethbik.bsky.social at 10:30 on clip www.youtube.com/watch?v=DM4s...

Postdoc position available: Work with us at @mblscience.bsky.social on maternal age effects, #transgenerational inheritance, and #mitochondria. Cool project with a great model system. Postdoc salary at the MBL is well above the NIH pay scale!
