Just heard an interview with my beloved grad program director, Dr. Brett Fling, on the @ologies.bsky.social episode about MS. So happy to see him getting the recognition he deserves! #HESForever #exerciseismedicine

🚨New paper just dropped!🚨
We found that transposable element transcripts that are elevated in the blood of older adults and those with dementia are also epigenetically dysregulated, and may predict peripheral markers of inflammation & neurodegeneration

Epigenetic dysregulation of transposable elements in cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease - GeroScience
Aging and cognitive impairment increase the risk for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and growing evidence suggests that transposable elements (TEs) in the genome play a role in aging and AD. The mechanisms ...

I, for one, welcome our methane-powered spider overlords.
Feast on some recent deep sea news & discoveries, like a sea spider covered in methane-fueled bacteria.

I hope everyone knows that it's very easy for any social content platform, including Bluesky, to be a misery machine and that if you aren't intentional about it, they will absolutely decrease the positive impact you have on the world while making you less happy.

Just waiting for the day that RFK brings back wandering uterus syndrome. Then I can get measles AND be hysterical—from witchcraft, of course.

@ologies.bsky.social I'm so fired up hearing about astrocytes and cognitive impairment in the long COVID episodes.
How do I get to talk to you about my research on inflammatory effects of astrocytes in Alzheimer's?😭

Did you know that two jumping sequences (LINE-1 and Alu) make up nearly 30% of our genomes? Ever wonder how they jump into new genomic sites? We have some exciting discoveries to share new in @science.org on the structural mechanisms of LINE-1 retrotransposition (aka jumping 🧬➡️🧬) 🧪 #ScienceResearch

Wow, in a shocking turn of events, Mitch McConnell opposed RFK's confirmation.
He was the only one. It's a small and ultimately insignificant move, but I appreciate it nonetheless.
