Toward an aging speedometer -- A new test from @ColumbiaAging Center's @danbelsky measuring pace of aging.

[Daniel Belsky @Danbelsky]

How fast are we aging? How can we change environment and behavior to slow aging and increase healthspan? We built a new tool to find out: DunedinPACE is a DNA methylation blood test of the Pace of Aging. Paper online @elife

Thread: A slow weekend turned interesting when a student at Columbia, in response to a tweet suggesting the SAT and ACT were "good, actually" posted this chart.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but “leveraging machine learning” is just a fancy phrase for “utilize machine learning” is just a fancy phrase for “use statistics”

The 6 month mark in any sustained crisis is always difficult. We have all adjusted to this "new normal", but might now feel like we're running out of steam. Yet, at best, we are only 1/3 the way through this marathon. How can we keep going? THREAD /x

Black and minority-ethnic academics are routinely asked to undertake extra, uncompensated work to address diversity issues at their institutions. #academictwitter #academicchatter #Blackintheivory https://t.co/vIRDlAvpct

UNIVERSITIES SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO CHARGE STUDENTS FULL PRICE FOR REMOTE LEARNING !!!!!!!

[Meeraj K @KothariMeeraj]

@JohnPamplinII i work at @columbia (as a student and now recent grad) and i've experienced the same things. while professors are supportive, admin has complete disregard for their workers. its hard to do science when we're struggling with survival.
