Is "overeating" the cause or consequence of getting fat? Human studies are too short to provide an answer. So we reviewed the animal research. 👉In almost every case, evidence shows an underlying metabolic problem driving the positive energy balance #CIM onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ob…

To be a good geospatial data scientist, you need good tools. My tool of choice is R. Here are the packages I can't live without: #rstats

A new paper in Nature Aging suggests age-related changed are nonlinear, and change id most rapid around ages 45 and 60. As someone rapidly approaching the first, biggest hump: gulp! They did thousands of measurements, and these graphs show how many change at different ages:

I’m looking forward to reading the details in this new paper reporting results from a Japanese study that appears to replicate many of our previous findings on diets high in ultra-processed food causing excess energy intake and weight gain! …ubs.pericles-prod.literatumonline.com/doi/10.1111/do…

The single greatest misunderstanding about science by the public is that scientists solve problems; in reality, scientists are primarily concerned with creating them.

This is Jack Dorsey. He’s a minimalist in life and work. He once said: "You can worry about the competition...or you can focus on what's ahead of you and drive fast." Here’s how this minimalist philosophy powered two billion-dollar companies:

The Observer Effect ✍️ The Observer Effect in quantum physics shows that measuring a system can change its state. For instance, in the double-slit experiment, unobserved electrons act like waves, creating interference, but when observed, they behave like particles. This happens

Nature just published a piece on why probability doesn't exist. Lee Cronin said many times chemical reactions are not real. Your genetics professor probably confessed to you before that there are no genes. Biologists still disagree on whether cell types are even real. And we
