Fantastic stem cell aging session closing out 2024 CSH mechanisms of aging conference- HSC biology had amazing representation by Danica Chen, Britta Will (and me!). Thanks to Shin Imai, Will Mair, and Meng Wang for all their hard work organizing this great meeting!

So - humans are first and foremost humans. We don't come in meaningful catagories and we never have. Our societies, often with horrible consequences, create catagories. Do not credit these categories with meaning beyond society.

I am still accepting applications. Thanks 🙏

A paper in @Nature reports the ageing effects of a pro-inflammatory protein called IL11 in mice. Inhibition of this protein is shown to improve the health of old mice and increase their lifespan. https://t.co/gGsqGBQ0jr

@JohnSpeakman4 Fully agree. Same could be said for some reform voters. Free use of vote as they felt safe that tories were out anyways. Tactical voting is so strongly embedded in each decision that comparisons to proportional representation are silly.

Today we must build a new politics, fighting for economic security, cheaper bills, our NHS back on its feet, and action on the environment.

Together we can rebuild our country.

Thank you again to my constituents for re-electing me in Sheffield Hallam.

[Simon @simon_christie]

Great to see @_OliviaBlake re-elected with an increased vote-share here in Sheffield Hallam! The constituency should also be proud of the very high turnout, bucking the trend seen elsewhere. Excellent campaign that worked tirelessly. 🌹

[Mirre Simons @MirreSimons]

@IanDunt So right!!
