sf needs less AI billboards and more dog longevity billboards

I think my brain takes REM & Processing to the next level… the crazy part is I remember most of my dreams so it’s like a novel every night

Have been locked in on fitness!

Baseline DEXA was at a major low point, but this year has been 📈!

Focus has been on optimizing fun and social workouts, the results are paying off.

Trying to maximize bone density and muscle mass pre-30 😬

[Celine Halioua @celinehalioua]

Loyal’s drug for senior dog lifespan extension drug LOY-002 has completed its FDA efficacy package (RXE)

We are on track to hopefully bring the first longevity drug to market *this year*

Thanks @lisabonos + @washingtonpost for the exclusive

@_Carol_Mag Me today contemplating back and forth

[Laura Vasquez-Bolanos, PhD @LauraSVBB]

@katclone @bryan_johnson V interesting, men or women? My hot take is women should not be vegetarian for healthy balanced hormones/reproductive system. I tried blueprint and it really didn’t work for me. My intuition is it likely doesn’t work for women we have higher needs for iron, B12 and omega 3.

@realNathanCheng Just applied! Super exciting

Natural cycles on the other hand does accurate identify this.

[Laura Vasquez-Bolanos, PhD @LauraSVBB]

Oura ring users please do not trust their cycle insights as they cannot properly identify the luteal phase. Which is essential in understanding your body.

The luteal phase begins after ovulation, which can only be identified after two days of sequential temp increase days.

@hannah_ahn @maxmarchione Love this

[Laura Vasquez-Bolanos, PhD @LauraSVBB]

@_Carol_Mag LFG!!

[Laura Vasquez-Bolanos, PhD @LauraSVBB]

Really enjoyed reading this paper today, great explainer thread

[Schuh Lab @SchuhLab]

Women lose >90% of their #eggs by their mid-30s, with persistent #DNADamage driving this loss. But why isn’t this damage repaired?

Our new work in @CurrentBiology, led by @ninadini_sharma, reveals the causes of high DNA damage in aged oocytes.🧬💥

@TrevorCampbell_ @MarcosArrut 💯% crazy that plan b seems more attainable in this lifetime than plan a

[Laura Vasquez-Bolanos, PhD @LauraSVBB]

I think about this a lot from a biomechanics perspective given many tissues as they age stiffen (ie. ovaries, muscle, etc.) If there’s a way we can “reverse” or delay this stiffening, could the environment alone encourage younger cell behavior? And could it be done acellularly?

[Laura Vasquez-Bolanos, PhD @LauraSVBB]

@MartinBJensen @GordianBio Super sicckkkk

[Laura Vasquez-Bolanos, PhD @LauraSVBB]

@_Carol_Mag @FarnersRiera This is awesome Carol, love to see this kind of work!

[Laura Vasquez-Bolanos, PhD @LauraSVBB]

‘Twas lit, feeling inspired about the future and excited to lean into more individual growth!

[Seth Bannon @sethbannon]

Kickoff weekend for 5050 cohort 5 is a wrap. What a blast! Yesterday had sessions on resiliency, essential founder traits, choosing what to build, and more. Today visited @Astranis, @OctantBio, @Molten_Ind, @multiplylabs, @huminly, and Electroflow. So fired up!

[Laura Vasquez-Bolanos, PhD @LauraSVBB]

100% really enjoyed this summer

[Lan @ad0rnai]

San Francisco is well on its way to becoming the city with the best weather in California. Every summer is less foggy than the last

It’s time to get that single family home in the Richmond

Biggest concerns would be impact on pH of vagina or any impact on sexual partners (ie. Do they second hand get irritation?)

[Laura Vasquez-Bolanos, PhD @LauraSVBB]

I have to admit, a non-hormonal contraceptive is pretty sick, low key may see where the clinical trial is being run and consider joining 👀 https://t.co/8pX2OuQb8Q
