Don't take it so seriously. We are all going to die and there is no sequel.

Our Rapamycin & Exercise clinical trial has just been published!

The topline result?

Rapamycin didn't help. Instead, it may have made things worse.

Here's what we found 🧵

This is Ocho. Ocho lives in my bathroom and hangs out on my orchid plant. Every day I soak a Q-Tip in water and put it down for him wherever he is (on the plant or behind the toilet or on the vanity) and he comes running over and gets a drink. Was my first reaction to smash him? Nope. To flush him down the toilet? Nope. To “burn it to the ground”? Nope. He’s literally a fraction of my size. I could easily kill him, but I choose to be kind. He deserves to be on this earth as much as I do. In fact, he contributes way more to the natural order of life on earth than I do. It’s so easy to choose kindness. I encourage everyone to take a moment and make sure the language you use when it comes to spiders, insects, rodents, etc. is kind and not fearful or disgusted. None of these beings are pests or threatening. Let them be. Help them if you can. Be kind. It’s so simple

Vance: "If you can actually cause suffering to an innocent animal, you're  probably the kind of person who doesn't worry about suffering in people… If you mistreat dogs, that's a 100% sign that you're gonna be a really terrible person."

Cada vez más convencida de que la "gente buena" no es buena gente y que prefiero mil veces a los hdp que dicen las cosas a la cara, actúan cuando hay que actuar y con cero ambigüedad

[Javier G. Recuenco @Recuenco]

Es la banalidad del mal.
Existe un mecanismo de cohesión grupal, que pasa por triturar en grupo al diferente.
Terminan siendo como Eichmann, funcionarios del mal.
Y como él, se miran al espejo y se dicen a sí mismos que en realidad solo estaban cumpliendo órdenes.

Capitalism, savings, and hard work.

[Dr. Catharine Young @DrCatharineY]

Does science make you rich? No.
Is there good work-life balance? No.
But at least it’s easy, right? Also no

Como científico tengo una impresión muy concreta de la inversión, no digamos ya de la precariedad y el nepotismo, del I+D+I público en nuestro país

De esto que dice @Recuenco subrayo hasta las pausas para respirar.

Academia is deeply flawed

[Joao Pereira @jdpereira]

I will die on this one: pay is the single largest gatekeeper we have in academia.

This crap isn’t viable.

It’s hurting people, and limiting the pool of talented folks that think it’s a good idea to do science or have the resources to do so.
