Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
Cool new paper: Cellular aging biomarkers in primates - increasingly supportive of aging being a software problem But what kind of software? And can an update be reinstalled? 🧵 https://t.co/1CKLNtHwZ4
New article by @jpsenescence presenting the case for aging being a software problem.
The study suggests that aging is like scratches on a CD that can be polished off, or like corrupted software that can be reinstalled to reverse aging, as described in Lifespan 4/n
