There is no authority who decides what is a good idea. - Richard Feynman

"The excitement of learning separates youth from old age. As long as you're learning, you're not old." Take a look at some snapshots of physicist Rosalyn Yalow. Yalow developed radioimmunoassays and made major insights into diabetes.

Stanford paid 35,000 people to quit social media. This was the largest study on emotional health in history. The results were so shocking, scientists called it "comparable to therapy." Here's what happens when you break free from the algorithm: 🧵

New APA delirium guideline says NO to antipsychotics unless severe danger/distress. They failed in large trials: psychiatry.org/getmedia/51e95… Use non-pharm approaches (and address underlying cause) in all patients, such as table 9: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC58…

The 1954 medicine laureates discovered how to grow the poliovirus in human tissue cultures — the breakthrough that made the polio vaccine possible. Their work set in motion the near-eradication of the virus, one of the greatest public health victories of the 20th century. Learn

A Stanford study found walking boosts creative thinking by 60%—indoors or out. Even pacing in a boring room beats sitting still.

To be clear, there are no data that provide a link between short-term use of Tylenol during pregnancy and autism. In fact, one of the best prospective studies w/ sibling controls, if anything, pointed to a protective effect for use less than 7 days acamh.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jc…

Daily connection builds a healthier worldview. Data: When people have regular positive interactions with others who matter to them, they see the world as a better place a year later—and have lower depression and higher well-being. Strong ties are an antidote to alienation.

Excited to introduce our Cell Reports Medicine Cell Reports Medicine Cell Press article with the features of overextended #healthy #lifespan vs common #chronological #time: The story of a record-breaking #supercentenarian in a world burdened by #aging-related diseases.

A massive new peer-reviewed review (161 studies, 2+ million patients) makes it clear. COVID-19 isn’t just a respiratory infection. It’s a multi-system disease leaving lasting scars on lungs, heart, brain, kidneys, and more.🧵

bioRxiv has a dedicated section for negative results. Use it. Share negative results. Your colleagues will appreciate it.

MELATONIN. Most people don’t realize: • Your brain makes <0.1 mg at night • Supplements? 1–20 mg (10–200x higher) • Some products even have 347% more than the label claimed! So... you might be overdosing your circadian clock. But how much melatonin should you take? 🧵

Amazing result A 21-yo woman with ulcerative colitis resistant to every tested therapy (prednisolone, mesalamine, infliximab, ustekinumab, ozanimod, filgotinib, vedolizumab, upadacitinib, cyclosporine + mirikizumab, and blinatumomab) CD19 CAR-T cells induced remission:

New from Arc Institute: Megabase scale genome-editing in human cells. Bridge recombinases are a new class of genome editors. In this paper, they were used to invert up to 920,000 base pairs of DNA and also cut out 130,000 base pairs, "with no apparent distance dependency." Let

Excited to share that my PhD thesis work is out in Science Magazine today. We demonstrate robust rearrangement of the human genome using bridge recombinases, performing programmable insertions, excisions, and inversions at megabase-scale.

Our immune system is an evolutionary masterpiece. Every day it protects us from the thousands of different viruses, bacteria and other microbes that attempt to invade our bodies. Without a functioning immune system, we would not survive. One of the immune system’s marvels is its

🎗️ Nobel Prize 2025: When immune tolerance met tumor escape! Mary Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell & Shimon Sakaguchi win for discovering regulatory T cells (Tregs) - the body’s immune “brakes.” 🔬 In oncology, these same brakes often shield tumors from immune attack. Their discovery

A short-and-sweet guide to developing research questions published in nature. Lots of good advice here 👍

Do you know what 'assembloids' are? If not, you should start reading about them, as they will likely be important to the future of Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and neurodegeneration. 'Assembloids' are one of the most exciting frontiers in neuroscience. Think of them as tiny,
