Does astrology work? We tested the ability of 152 astrologers to see if they could demonstrate genuine astrological skill.
Here is how the study was designed and what we found (including a result that really surprised me):

@m_pankhurst @DocLarus@impetusgrants We are currently working on this. Titan (aka DU6) might be used as a model for reproductive aging.
You might also be interested in this study, examining the short reproductive lifespan:

Exciting news! 🎉 My new preprint is out and ready to be read. Check out my latest work on the Titan mouse, a new model for aging research!
Huge thanks to @DocLarus for guidance and @impetusgrants for funding this project!

Very excited and delighted to share our latest short piece and the first publication of my Ph.D. explaining;
How using light to drive energy transduction can extend lifespan in aging animals 💡
Thanks to @DocLarus and all other authors for their support and contribution.✌️

@StuartJRitchie Thank you for providing a source! Actually this article supports my statement, see Chapter "Theories and laws":
"Theories and laws are also distinct from hypotheses. Unlike hypotheses, theories and laws may be simply referred to as scientific fact."
@StuartJRitchie In a scientific context, these terms are pretty well defined. Theory = well supported by evidence (eg evolution), hypothesis = yet to be tested. But for a general audience in SciCom this can be confusing, I understand :)

I am happy to share that our manuscript has finally seen the Light (!!) of day in @NatureAging :)
@impetusgrants
The concept of external Energy Replacement to treat aging is still new and I am eager to see what the future brings!
