Sad to learn that Richard Fortey, trilobite enthusiast and scientist/writer par excellence, has passed. Read one of his books if you enjoy a beguiling amalgam of poetry and biology.

@newscientist Did anyone actually read this paper? Conclusion: “These findings do not support the use of vitamin D, omega-3, or a strength-training exercise program for these clinical outcomes among relatively healthy older adults.”
