Interested in metabolomics/systems biology and aging in Drosophila? We have a post-doc opening! And of course, there will be plenty of opportunities for side projects on the @dogagingproject.bsky.social. 🐶 promislowlab.org/wp-content/u...

I'm looking forward to speaking on CBC's The Current this morning all about dogs and aging! 🐕 🇨🇦@dogagingproject.bsky.social

I'm very happy to see this paper now out. We used early-life climbing ability to separate genetically identical short-lived and long-lived sub-cohorts of fruit flies, and to identify metabolites and metabolite modules that predict longevity. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

I think people adjacent to science (but who now find themselves deciding the fate of US science somehow) undervalue humility, valuing braggadocios hubris instead. Yes it’s true that some scientific discoveries are complete paradigm changers, and we celebrate these. 1/

Having been one of the examiners on many an oral exam in evolutionary biology, I can tell you they are always action packed!

Our lab had a fantastic time at the @americanaging.bsky.social‬ #AGE2025 meeting in Anchorage. Well organized, terrific science, and glorious views of the mountains from the conference center!

"Understanding our dogs' basic body language allows us to gain insight into their thoughts and feelings about the world around them and what they are experiencing," said Harmony Diers, project manager for the Dog Aging Project. To learn more, visit TAMU's Pet Talk: vetmed.tamu.edu/news/pet-tal...

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025. This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

#HappyThanksgiving! We want to thank all our wonderful Pack Members and our dedicated team. Your hard work and passion make a real difference — we truly couldn't do this without you! 🐾Together, we can help #dogs live longer, healthier lives at dogagingproject.org #thankful

This new study of #rotifers just out from mblscience.bsky.social 's Kristen Gribble brings together two of the oldest known factors that extend lifespan, both dating back to the early 20th century--caloric restriction and maternal age effects. How cool is that! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39588710/

The average American got 7 out of 11 questions correct on this Pew Research science 🧪 quiz. You can do better, right?

The Foldscope brings a powerful science tool to schools that can't afford microscopes. Scientists use it too. Its creators have handed out 2 million units, including a new mini-model for younger kids.

I've been on here for 15 months, and the change over the last three weeks is truly stunning. Literally many thousands of new scientists on #SciSky. Community building is totally different here than the slow accretion method over years on Twitter. Here are a few thoughts from what I see. 1/n

I'm new here, so here's news about an older pub (from this past August). We compared sensitivity to #rapamycin in larvae from the #dgrp. We found massive genetic variation, and were able to predict sensitivity using metabolome profiles. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

I'm excited to see our first preprints online describing systems biology of aging results from the Dog Aging Project. Some unexpected findings from our analysis of the #dog #metabolome: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I have moved to the HNRCA at #Tufts in #Boston. We have #postdoc openings in the #systemsbiology of #aging, using #Drosophila as a model. For more info, see promislowlab.org/wp-content/u...
