Thrilled to share my first first-author preprint from my PhD! 🎉 We asked,
can a low cost, FDA-approved α1-AR blocker reverse Alzheimer's disease at the molecular level?
In the TgF344-AD rat model: YES- and the effect is strikingly sex-dependent.

What is infinity, exactly?

For over 2,000 years, humanity insisted that infinity was only potential (roughly, this means you can always add "one more," but you never actually arrive). Aristotle thought so; Gauss just said so. Then Cantor showed up with a sort of hearsay we're still fighting about to this day.

He treated infinite collections as completed objects in and of themselves. Then he proved there are strictly more of them than anyone imagined. Kronecker called Cantor a "corrupter of youth." Poincaré called Cantor's work a "disease." Cantor died in a sanatorium.

Turns out, Cantor was right all along. Here's what's going on. (1/18)
