I am excited to share our preprint: “A torpor-like state in mice (TLS) slows blood epigenetic aging and prolongs healthspan”. Congratulations to Lorna Jayne and big thanks to our collaborators Prof Steve Horvath, Vijay Sankaran, Vadim Gladyshev and others.

We are recruiting a technician! Our lab studies the biology + applications of hibernation-like states with focus on neuroscience. Position is ideal for college grads interested in working largely independently for two years ahead of pursuing a PhD or MD.

We updated our database and now list 385 postdoc fellowship opportunities (w/ description, deadline, amount, eligibility, etc).

Getting one means a lot more freedom to do the work you want to do.

Understanding and engineering thermotolerance in plants could have tremendous beneficial effects. Beautiful work!

Surprising observation that human brain temperature is ~38.5C (higher than core body temperature). Feature?

Not too long ago, this would take 10,000 experiments that could not be coherently integrated. What a landmark study with the largest and richest single dataset of cell function to reference, mine, build deep learning models on. Bravo colleagues Joseph Replogle Jonathan Weissman's Lab

Hibernating animals tend to live longer. Why that is, we don’t know. Exciting results in marmots suggest that epigenetic aging slows down during seasonal hibernation. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Beautiful study in the same issue @nature describing the effects of stimulating neurons and inducing a torpor-like or hibernation-like state.

Excited to share our first paper on torpor. Big thanks to Senmiao Sun and all our collaborators!
