Another packed house today for Dr John Newman’s (@GeriSciDoc.bsky.social) talk on How to Be Your Own Geriatrician. To register for our upcoming seminar: How Did Our Bodies End Up This Way on Oct 1: buckinstitute.org/events/lblseminars

Today is a special day! It's our second BARI symposium at the de Young Museum in the beautiful Golden Gate Park.

Outstanding work, Emily! I'm so excited to see this cool story out! What a great example of "that's odd" being the most important words in science.

I could not be more excited to have our lab's first story online where we report our discovery that HDACs ~reverse~ their activity to ADD acyl groups to lysine! We found this for our favorite ketone body, BHB, but this pathway controls other lysine modifications too!🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Come visit the Buck booth at North Bay Science Discovery Day at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds today! We’re in The Hall of Flowers. Booth 24. We’ve got some really cool experiments to check out! @northbayscience

We're kicking off an NIA-AGS symposium on the intersection of Alzheimer's disease and multiple chronic conditions - exactly the sort of interdisciplinary, un-siloed, patient-centered science that National Institute on Aging does so uniquely well! www.americangeriatrics.org/r13conference

Learn how to be your own geriatrician! Buck was thrilled to partner with Vivalon this week providing valuable info to older adults on how to best advocate for themselves in a medical system that often lets them down. Kudos to Dr. John Newman! www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6A-... @geriscidoc.bsky.social

Cuts to the VA research have been hard. I've lost colleagues, including one studying Veteran homelessness. But losing VA research hurts us all. 1/6 (I'm expressing my own views and not necessarily those of the VA or the US government.)

Well done, Jade and @serogersmd.bsky.social! What a fantastic NIH-funded MSTAR project.

📢 Save the date! The 2025 California Academic Geriatrics Institutions (CAGI) Conference is happening May 30 at UC Irvine. Join geriatrics professionals from across CA to connect & collaborate. Coordinated with support from Drs. Todd James (@Geri_IPE) & @susanschneiderucsf.bsky.social! #CAGI2025

Our CEO, Eric Verdin answered questions about the administration’s proposed budget cuts to the NIH at a hearing before the Senate Special Committee on Aging this afternoon. Hear his exchange with Angela Alsobrook D-MD here: youtu.be/XrhHldez1AI

I strongly support the NIH Diversity Supplement Program. Addressing the severe lack of diversity among biomedical researchers improves the quality of research. It's not a level playing field. This program helps restore equity through mentored training. Rescinding this program is a big mistake

What other departments or divisions are doing faculty sessions on teaching how to get on BlueSky? @ucsfgeriatrics.bsky.social is! Thanks @lwaltermd.bsky.social for setting this up! #geriatrics #gerisky

Thrilled to announce up to $52M award from ARPA_H for groundbreaking PATH program: Personalized Analytics for Transforming Health. Along with our strategic partner Phenome Health our aim is to predict and prevent diseases to increase individual #healthspan. www.buckinstitute.org/news/buck-in...

Since I've met many new people on @bsky.app, I wanted to re-share this paper we published earlier this year in @naturecomms.bsky.social! We found OXR1, which regulates #longevity and #brainaging through neuronal endocytic recycling. Read below for a summary 👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41... #GeroSky

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪

Our latest work: a new link between metabolism and proteostasis, relevant to Alzheimer's disease. Out today in Cell Chemical Biology as open access! Stay tuned for more discussion of what we found and what it means... @buckinstitute.bsky.social @cellpress.bsky.social www.cell.com/cell-chemica...

#Ketone bodies are not just about energy. Study in @cellpress.bsky.social shows metabolites are powerful signaling molecules that help clean up damaged proteins. New biology for aging and neurodegenerative disease @geriscidoc.bsky.social @sidmadhavan.bsky.social www.buckinstitute.org/news/ketone-...

We are all going to Alaska!! #AGE2025 as organized by the indomitable Ben Miller at OMRF @benjaminfmiller.bsky.social @americanaging.bsky.social @am-omrf.bsky.social

One generous gift from Dr. Jim Johnson started a snowball rolling, out of which grew the Buck Clinical Research Core. From one gift for one small study grew millions in funding for a half dozen or more geroscience clinical studies, and still growing. You can have an enormous impact! Thank you!

During this season of giving, we want to express our thanks to our donors. We’ve created a special video featuring scientists from across the Buck, sharing how your contributions have helped make a big difference in our research. We are incredibly grateful for you! vimeo.com/1009324677/d...

It's delirium! Not dementia. Feel free to widely share the one-page flyer and web page linked below, created by the American Delirium Society. Post the flyer in resident work rooms. Build delirium awareness! americandeliriumsociety.org/wp-content/u... americandeliriumsociety.org/delirium-awa...

A reminder for new folks. BlueSky does not have an algorithm to raise posts of interest. It is incumbent upon you to do so via reposting. Liking things only provides feedback to the poster but does not promote the post. The signal to noise ratio is taking a brief beating, so great to help curate.

There is a ton of good stuff in this thread (as I read through a stack of grant applications)...

More insights into the beneficial roles of KD in brain. By the great Diego Acuña-Catalán and wonderful collaborators @geriscidoc.bsky.social and Birgit Schilling at @buckinstitute.bsky.social www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Thank you to all who joined us at the 2024 #Clin-STAR and #Beeson Annual Meetings!

Hey friends! Made a growing #BeesonScholar starter pack! Message me and I can add you to the list! Help me grow the community here on @bsky.app go.bsky.app/QvWS6XT

The Beeson Annual Meeting is my favorite time of year! A whole conference center filled with clinicians who both care for older adults and are passionate about aging research. And Chicago greeted us with a beautiful dusting of snow as a backdrop. #Beeson2024 #NIA #OnceABessonAlwaysABeeson #geronsky

Does your Division or Department have not only a Bluesky account but also a faculty starter pack? Mine now does! Time to lower that entry barrier #medsky go.bsky.app/9oRaamW

We're doing this.

Congratulations to Newman Lab / Buck-USC Aging Biology PhD student Sid Madhavan for being invited to talk about his thesis project in the Emerging Scholar and Professional Organization (ESPO) abstract session at #GSA2024!

My friend and collaborator Birgit Schilling at #BuckInstitute giving a state-of-the-art update on proteomic biomarkers of senescence, including new data on ovarian senescence with colleague Francesca Duncan at the Buck Center for Healthy Aging in Women. #GSA2024

Day 2 of the biology / #geroscience program at #GSA2024 is heavy on senescence and aging biomarkers. Great NIH-funded progress in development of biomarkers across various mechanisms of aging, technologies, and organ systems. #geronsky

"Repurposed for Aging": Which drugs have the strongest evidence as potential gerotherapeutics? Great discussion of metformin, SLGT2i, and GLP-1RA at #GSA24 by this #endocrinology & #geriatrics #geroscience Dream Team of Dr. Sara Espinoza, Dr. Carolina Solis-Herrera, Dr. Sandra Aleksic, and me.

The incomparable Jamie Justice from #XPrize headlining "Testing the Geroscience Hypothesis" at #GSA2024, describing updated design and outcome plans for the Healthspan X Prize. The X Prize is just ramping up but already having a big impact on how we think about clinical trials in #geroscience.

First skeet! I'm kicking off my Bsky presence here in rainy-but-beautiful Seattle at #GSA2024 #geronsociety. Four days of geeking out in an amazing city with aging researchers from all over the world. Including a strong contingent from the Newman Lab and the #BuckInstitute!
