Papers like this are why science remains endlessly exciting. This one made me feel the same wonder I felt at 15 when I first discovered science. || Homing pigeon navigation relies on superparamagnetic macrophages under overcast conditions | Science https://t.co/Rl3AlgF982

Mitochondria in our cells have their own genome. A new paper @nature shows it mutates sharply after age 60. Now rare, one day it might be common to receive a mito-transplant later in life 🧬 https://t.co/pEbhh9SWY2

Biology inspired breakthrough in robotics and a reminder that living systems still have so much to teach us. Great advances may come when engineers learn more from biology, and biologists learn more from engineering 🤝

I wrote something on aging, agency, and my why.
It starts with me being exactly the kind of teenager who wrote philosophy essays about Tolkien and ends with why I think aging shouldn’t be treated as fate

Martin Picard published one of the most important papers in modern biology in 2025.

Almost no one outside a small circle of researchers has heard of it.

The Energy Resistance Principle may explain disease, aging & energy crashes — from first principles.

Here’s the framework:🧵

REMOTE CONTROL MICE! A group from Seoul has just published in Cell that they’ve discovered a crazy-weird protein (Cyb5b) that can be used to turn on any gene when exposed to EMFs!

They used it to turn on OSK and extend the lifespan of a progeroid mouse. More to come on this…

Welcome to St. Servatius - where everyone is welcomed, unless, off course, you happen to be from Israel…
According to them, there isn’t such thing as Israel

Richard Feynman’s savage takedown of pseudo-science still burns in 2026:

“Social science is an example of a science which is not a science. They follow the forms… but they don’t get any laws. They haven’t found out anything.”

He goes harder:

Experts who “sit at a typewriter and make up” claims — “organic food is better,” “this diet cures everything” — as if it’s settled science, when no rigorous experiments or checks have been done.

Feynman:

“I know what it means to really know something.
How careful you have to be. How easy it is to fool yourself.
I see how they get their information… and I can’t believe that they know.”

The Nobel physicist calls it straight: most of what passes for “expert” opinion is noise dressed up as knowledge.

In an age drowning in TikTok “science,” influencers, and clickbait studies — Feynman’s 1:52 rant feels more relevant than ever.

Who’s the biggest pseudo-expert that grinds your gears right now?

Clip is timeless fire — watch it and feel the clarity.

@TSchmauck @TheFangGroupUiO @NatureAging Congrats Tom!

[Tomás Schmauck-Medina @TSchmauck]

DR is the oldest intervention to extend max lifespan, and still the strongest we have for mammals. Yet after a century of research, many key questions remain. In our latest @TheFangGroupUiO paper with 310+ refs in @NatureAging we try to answer this... 🧵🧵

I find that one of the important thing I have learned the last few years is trying to separate those investors that invest in aging for the sake of their own financial profit, vs the investors that invest to see real progress in the field.

The latter is far more rare

@MaxUnfried Lets move on Max…

@BShenhar @ScienceMagazine Congrats Ben and Uri and team!

[Shahaf Peleg 🌅 @DocLarus]

@MaxUnfried why is it a significant finding? how it further our understanding of aging? can you explain?
