GUESS WHAT?! A new study has shown SARS-CoV-2 infection is DISTINCT from common respiratory viruses! Unequivocally, COVID is NOT "just a cold." These findings are HUGELY significant, for multiple reasons! Here's a breakdown of the study (written for a general audience)... 1/16

This is what great writing looks like:

Interesting! The mechanisms that cells use to maintain their identity during aging - for decades in the case of human neurons and cardiomyocytes - are very interesting. Chromatin is dynamic. How do cells maintain their identity? We have a few projects ongoing in the lab.

Amazing!

How to research: 1) Start reading paper 2) Open up new tab for each interesting reference 3) Save all new papers in "to be read" folder 4) Never close tabs 5) Never read papers

I just wish public health leaders and politicians would read this study, which includes data from 800,000 adults in England. We are getting cognitively slower even when the infection is "All resolved." #LongCovid outcomes are even worse. #CovidIsNotOver

"Even in non infected"

We are deeply saddened by Leonard Hayflick’s passing. His revolutionary discoveries opened new scientific avenues, and his inspirational story will endure. We would like to share the seminar he gave us, detailing the journey behind his groundbreaking work. youtu.be/QYjyceTOLhQ?si…

🤣🤣🤣🤣 It's funny because it's true

Happy to see our latest manuscript on the minimal set of markers to identify senescent cells in vivo out! Big effort with many excellent colleagues cell.com/cell/fulltext/… Demarialab ERIBA Research UMCG

Eppure torneremo a rintanarci nel solito locale, con i baveri di cappotti rialzati, chiudendoci in fretta la porta alle spalle, e raggiungeremo il bancone come naufraghi felici una spiaggia.

Recent research has indicated an increased risk of autism in children born with cCMV. Recently, @nationalcmv board member, Megan Pesch, MD, MS, discussed the results of this research with the Daily Mail. You can read the article here: ow.ly/CnGQ50SPtSs #StopCMV

This is your friendly reminder that you are enough. More than enough. Academia is exceedingly hard, it’s lonely, and can feel awfully isolating. And at sometimes just awful. But you’re not alone. We listen. Reach out - we’re here for you.

Vacation Relaxation?

📢Thrilled to introduce the #VirtualLab: a team of AI scientist agents (AI chemist, AI reviewer...). Virtual Lab is led by an AI professor w/ feedback from human scientist. The Lab created new nanobodies that we experimentally validated to bind to recent #covid variants🚀🧵

In recent years we learned how critical the skull bone marrow is as an immune reservoir protecting the brain. Today nature, the skull bone marrow is distinct from any others in the body, with lifelong extension, resilient to the aging process (@justsaysinmice )

🧠 Depression is linked to rewired food cravings. People with depression crave carbs more and find less reward in fats & proteins. Could the gut-brain axis explain this? 🧵1/14
