Choosing to go by train/ferry to #Flux2025 I emitted SEVEN times less C02 compared to a plane trip.

Grey and white matter are not two separate tissues and we found that adversity is associated significantly differently with grey and white matter measures showing the importance of looking at both!

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...
