The first-ever NCAA Championships in women’s wrestling! Watching these women give their best while realizing they are a vital part of history at this inaugural event brought tears to my eyes. So excited for all the young girls who will have more opportunity to grow in the sport!

[NCAA @NCAA]

Congratulations to our very first individual Women’s Wrestling National Champions! 🏆🙌

Yay, metabolism is cool!!

[Brenda Eap, PhD @beappbeapp]

Had an amazing time at the Ventures in the Aging Landscape (VITAL) Postdoctoral Research Symposium yesterday at the @BuckInstitute!

Thank you to the VITAL committee for inviting me to be on the Alumni Panel. I had a great time talking about my work at @theA4LI.

Statistically significant does not always mean clinically significant! (e.g., if weight increases 1lb in a study over one year and is statistically significant, this isn’t actually clinically relevant in a human) (3/3)

[Ariel Adkisson-Floro @strongsciren]

Now, this is some good science!

Fructose has been horribly demonized to the point where some people find it bad to eat any kind of fruit, but @PeterAttiaMD & Rick Johnson discuss the nuance of fructose metabolism with a focus on translatability and relevancy in humans (1/3)

[Peter Attia @PeterAttiaMD]

[New Podcast 194] How fructose drives metabolic disease with Rick Johnson, M.D.

Watch/Listen to the full, in-depth episode! https://t.co/BcqKmRf9uq

[Ariel Adkisson-Floro @strongsciren]

Translatability: Attia is careful to fully assume that mice data will be the same in humans & he acknowledges the potential pitfalls between assuming so

Relevancy: Attia ponders on the clinical relevance of certain results to humans (2/3)

1st results paper from 1st clinical study @BuckInstitute - with @GeriSciDoc - the 1st study of ketone esters in older adults & longest study of ketone esters ever. Watch out for more data coming soon!

Another year of bringing home hardware for US Wrestling at the Olympics:

4 medals for the women’s team (2🥇1🥈1🥉)

3 medals for the men’s team (1🥈2🥉)

Incredibly happy I get to share my love of the sport with others during this time and already can’t wait for LA 2028!

Kennedy Blades logo’d her first Olympic opponent 😳 #paris2024

[Jordan Burroughs @alliseeisgold]

Out of 12 contested weight classes in wrestling so far this Olympics, Japan has won five Gold Medals.

They’ve gotten a gold in every style, and they still have two more athletes competing in the finals tomorrow! 🤯

[Ariel Adkisson-Floro @strongsciren]

Another exciting day of Olympic Wrestling! 4th American Olympic champion in women’s freestyle wrestling (the 3rd was @AmitElor from yesterday!)

[United World Wrestling @wrestling]

Sarah HILDEBRANDT 🇺🇸 becomes the fourth American woman to win Olympic gold.

Incredible! Youngest US wrestler to win Olympic gold!!

Amit Elor wins gold in Paris! The first wrestling medal for Team USA comes courtesy of the 20-year-old Californian at 68 kilograms! 🇺🇸🥇

[Ariel Adkisson-Floro @strongsciren]

First Olympian to win 5 consecutive gold medals in the same event: Mijain Lopez from Cuba

Also, oldest wrestler to win an Olympic medal at 41 years old 👏🏼🤯

Grateful to work on science with cool people :)

[Alan Tomusiak @alantomusiak]

My first ever paper was just published, all originally stemming from a failed experiment. The original project vision was to build out a high-throughput screening platform for longevity.

How did this lead to a deep epigenetic clock study? (1/7)

[Ariel Adkisson-Floro @strongsciren]

Confused about epigenetic clocks and aging? Check out this breakdown of Horvath's paper from 2013 that got the field going!

[Alan Tomusiak @alantomusiak]

From arguments at academic conferences to the *Kardashians* (!?!), epigenetic clocks are everywhere. In looking at the ancient texts that started it all (Horvath's paper from 2013), I wrote a piece diving into what clocks can tell us about aging.
