Why do we age? And why do some people age faster than others?
The secret lies in our telomeres and the enzyme telomerase which was first discovered by medicine laureate Elizabeth Blackburn and affects the way our cells age.

A couple years back, O'Reilly published the book "Software Engineering at Google." It's good, I read it.
Now, you can read it online, entirely free. Do yourself a favor, and at least flip through it!

Born #OnThisDay in 1887 was Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan. Though he had very little formal training, his work was substantial, often using methods that were completely novel. In 1918 he became one of the youngest Fellows of the Royal Society. bit.ly/3hHJE0N

Marie Skłodowska Curie died of aplastic anaemia on 4 July 1934, a result of years of exposure to radiation through her work. Even today her laboratory notebook from 1899-1902, is radioactive and will be for 1,500 years.
