🧵 1/4 Microwaving in plastic = a hidden tsunami of nanoplastics straight into your food.
Just 3 minutes can release ~14 billion nanoplastic particles per square inch from some “microwave-safe” containers. A typical quart-size container? Hundreds of billions of particles in one meal.

They called her the pretty one. She was a model and she was brilliant. THE ILLNESS DID NOT CARE.
She was beloved. She was radiant. She married the love of her life. THE ILLNESS DID NOT CARE.

🧵 1/7 A kid from a US-Mexico border town where 80% of his classmates qualified for free lunch changed how UCSD admits grad students. And he is using neuroscience to close the healthcare gap his own nephew faces. A Genomic Press Interview worth reading.

@PsyPost Fascinating work: psilocybin's effects on social prefs & IL-6 are highly dependent on metabolic/exercise context in female mice.
Explains some variability in human trials?
Great female-focused study!

Psilocybin’s effects are not uniform across different physiological conditions. A study of female mice reveals that exercise and diet drastically alter how the drug influences social interactions and inflammatory signaling. https://t.co/JHi6rxw206

The Brazilian supercentenarians: 18 languages now. 300+ stories. Just this week another BIG story, this one in Switzerland's newspaper of record: NZZ- Neue Zürcher Zeitung. Founded in 1780, NZZ is one of the oldest newspapers still published. It is widely considered one of the top, most respected, and influential high-quality newspapers in the German-speaking world. Based in Zurich, Switzerland, its high-quality journalism is often compared to publications like The New York Times or The Guardian.

“Perfect happiness” is a myth—and chasing it can be harmful, says Dr Ronald C. Kessler, Harvard’s most cited psychiatrist.

🧵1/8 Breaking: Groundbreaking study drops in @PsychedelicsJnl!
Psilocybin's effects on social behavior & inflammation in female mice modeling anorexia nervosa? TOTALLY context-dependent on metabolism & exercise. Explains why only ~40% respond in human trials. Mind-blowing implications for personalized psychedelic therapy!

1/7 🧵BIG THREAD: The world's MOST cited researcher in Psychiatry & Psychology dropped an amazing Genomic Press Interview.
Dr. Ronald C. Kessler (@HarvardMed) went from first-gen college kid dreaming of law → 1,300+ papers, 330k+ citations, reshaped global mental health policy via massive surveys in 30+ countries.
His full story:

Fascinating and consistent with what's emerging from Brazil's supercentenarian cohort. Zatz Guilherme, Castro and colleagues at USP sequenced 160+ centenarians including 20 individuals over 110, many from genetically diverse backgrounds far removed from elite healthcare. Some survived COVID unvaccinated with robust antibodies. The genetic architecture of extreme longevity clearly runs deeper than lifestyle choices alone.

@BShenhar @HaggSara @UriAlonWeizmann This is very consistent with the study of a Brazilian centenarians recently published in @GenomPsychiatry @GenomicPress that included four centenarian women in one family. It’s not olive oil or goat yoghurt, it’s the genes. See: https://t.co/rUqqgoHNjr

🧵 THREAD 1/8
Nature just dropped a bombshell feature on Brazil's supercentenarians: people hitting 110+ without elite diets, gyms, or fancy meds. Their secret? Genes + insane resilience. And the groundbreaking research behind it? Published in your journal: Genomic Psychiatry @GenomPsychiatry!
