Fiber makes short chain fatty acids, we affects health. Our paper showing how this works (in part) at the level of gene expression is out: doi.org/10.1038/s42255…

You don't magically become focused. You practice it. You notice you're distracted and snap out of it immediately, over and over again until it's second nature. Most people have not trained this muscle, and they are not anywhere close to as focused as they think they are.

It’s my pleasure to announce our recent work published in Nature Genetics: “Spatial transcriptomics identifies molecular niche dysregulation associated with distal lung remodeling in pulmonary fibrosis” 1/14 nature.com/articles/s4158…

Dissecting the impact of genetic variation on disease risk by profiling genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics in the very same 4,732 participants. This is a really rare resource by the INTERVAL study bringing all 4 major omics layers together!

Congratulations to U of A computing science professor Richard Sutton, a trailblazer in reinforcement learning, on receiving the 2024 A.M. Turing Award—often called the "Nobel Prize of computing"! His groundbreaking work continues to shape the future of AI. Read more:

The world of writing has changed forever. AI is getting really good, really fast. ChatGPT is already a better writer than most humans and some professional writers. So, what’s the future of writing? 18 thoughts from Tyler Cowen: 1) Don't let AI smooth out your idiosyncrasies.

New Review on the "Gut–X Axis"! 🦠➡️🫀🧠🫁🦴 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… The gut microbiota shape diseases beyond the intestine—impacting the brain, heart, lungs, kidneys, skin, and more. This review explores key mechanisms and clinical interventions. #GutHealth #Microbiome

Researchers have identified 64 genes that help to shape how quickly a person’s brain ages go.nature.com/4hyT7Ar

Researchers have discovered that a person’s 'bioenergetic age,' reflecting how efficiently cells produce energy, strongly predicts #Alzheimer’s risk and progression," according to Neuroscience News coverage of a recent Nature Communications paper by Jan Krumsiek! neurosciencenews.com/bioenergetic-a…

The ggblanket package is an extension for ggplot2 that simplifies the process of creating clean and consistent plots in R. It offers user-friendly functions that reduce the amount of code needed, making it easier to produce high-quality visualizations quickly. ✔️ Streamlines

Of >105,000 participants with 30-year follow-up, only 9.3% achieved healthy aging (age 70, w/o any chronic diseases). Their diet was significantly associated with this outcome🧵 Nature Medicine
