I'm in the field so can't attend the #NoKings protests today, but I'm so proud of our communities and country for the massive outpouring in defense of our democracy! And glad to see so many signs in defense of science #StandUpForScience

Sad to learn we lost Keith Blackwell, an unsung hero of the aging field. Keith showed rapamycin extends C. elegans lifespan, that mTORC2 has diet-dependent effects on aging, and linked together skn1 TOR splicing and aging. www.legacy.com/us/obituarie...

It’s that time of the year when our team at the @leibnizfli.bsky.social does field work in the Gonarezhou National Park. This year the rains came late and in large amounts, making it harder to find fish. In the pics a beautiful spotted killifish and the typical butterfly-shaped mopane leaf.

If you’re not familiar with how it works, this short explainer video is worth a watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVnJ...

Perhaps, for example, current uncertainty in the federal climate for science is prompting you, or someone you know, to consider looking for non-governmental opportunities to lead research culture reform. THIS IS THAT OPPORTUNITY.
