First, really cool work by Ben Shenhar Sara Hägg Uri Alon and others: using twin records, they show that once you filter out confounders like extrinsic mortality, heritability explains ~50% of human lifespan in that population. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Secondly, Christian David Meyer Björn Schumacher used transcriptomic clocks in C. elegans to show that different neuron types age at different rates, with ciliated sensory neurons aging the fastest. researchsquare.com/article/rs-436…

🔥🔥🔥our Nature Aging Perspective Aging by the clock and yet without a program. Together with David Meyer and Alexei Maklakov we demonstrate how the aging process is driven by molecular damage and how the selection shadow lets us age rdcu.be/eG1N7

We argue that selection shadow - decline in the force of selection after the onset of reproduction - is sufficient to explain why damage accumulates with age. 'Aging clocks' measure damage accumulation, they neither require nor support any kind of 'program'-based explanation.

15 years in the making, we confirmed that mitochondria -the powerhouse of the cell- have an unusual localization in patients who experience psychosis (including schizophrenia and bipolar disorders). You’ll never guess what kind of patient cells we used to make this discovery...🧵

Entangled Life by Merlin Sheldrake is one of the best works of scientific literature I have ever read: intelligent (a scientist can be good at philosophy), informative (I learned so much), inspiring (almost every sentence made me pause for thought), beautifully written (this
