Such a cool paper. And, fascinating to think about in the context of aging organisms that compensate for deteriorating abilities with age and *thrive*

The Holy Grail of Evolutionary Biology?
We are ramping up to start a new series of posts on @ecoevoevoeco - so I want to share again one of my favorite posts - which was also the last post.
