The center of medicine isn’t individual diseases. It’s aging. Our new paper proposes that aging is best understood as a Meta-Disease - the upstream process that generates many diseases. 1/7

David Hockney refused Knighthood. He hated fuss and superficial prizes. He did eventually accept the Order of Merit as he felt it would be rude to say no to the late Queen. A truly gifted, remarkable man. Rest in Peace.

My conversation with @ymatias (Head of Google Research) about how AI is accelerating the magic cycle of scientific progress, improving the lives of real people around the world, and us entering the golden age of research. This chat left me feeling genuinely inspired : )

This Jewelry Was Meant to Bring a Pharaoh Back to Life… Hidden deep inside the tomb of Tutankhamun in the mysterious Valley of the Kings, archaeologists uncovered something that feels almost… alive. At first glance, it looks like a beautiful piece of jewelry. But look closer—and it tells a story that refuses to die. At its center lies a deep blue scarab, carved from precious stone, its wings spread wide as if ready to rise. This is not just decoration. To the ancient Egyptians, the scarab represented Khepri—the god who pushed the sun across the sky each day, symbolizing rebirth, resurrection, and the promise that death is never the end. Above it, a glowing red sun disk seems to hover, held carefully in place. Around it, vibrant colors—turquoise, gold, and glass—still shine as if they were crafted yesterday… not over 3,300 years ago. But here’s where it gets unsettling. This ornament was not made to be admired. It was made for the afterlife. The ancient Egyptians believed that objects like this held power—real power. They believed it could help guide a soul through darkness, protect it from unknown forces, and even help bring the dead back into existence in another realm. So the question is… Was this just art? Or was it a tool… meant to defeat death itself? Because when you look at it, perfectly preserved after thousands of years, it almost feels like it’s still waiting—for its king to return.

Honored to receive the Euler Award, the @netscisociety's highest recognition. It was particularly meaningful to receive at the 20th anniversary meeting of the @netscisociety surrounded by the students, postdocs, collaborators who made this possible. Let us continue the journey!

MATHEMATICS By Snezana Lawrence “If you want a readable whistle-stop tour of the past 32,000 years of mathematics, I can think of nothing better.” — Ian Stewart

Yazının düşünceyi genişleterek, dönüştürerek ve ona yeni hareket alanları açarak bilişsel bir teknoloji olduğundan söz eden bu makaleye denk geldim. Kısaca yazmak düşüncenin hareket halidir diyor. Mutlaka tavsiye ederim. Link: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

As I have been saying, everyone in theoretical physics should be aware of the claims made about gravity and physicists in the 1971 Australian intelligence document:

Blood donation improves skin aging through the reduction of iron deposits & the increase of TGF-β1 in elderly skin ✅️ Appropriate blood donation could promote collagen re-synthesis & improve skin aging Highlights: ▶️ Blood donation can increased dermal thickness & collagen content to improve skin aging in old mice. ▶️ Blood donation induced significant alterations in transcriptional & metabolic profiles in the skin of old mice. ▶️ Pathways related to inflammation & collagen metabolism were dramatically changed in elderly skin after blood donation. ▶️ Blood donation increased skin collagen content which is associated w/increased expression of TGF-β1. sciencedirect.com/science/ar… @HealthyFellow @DHPSP

A light show honoring Antoni Gaudí has just lit up Sagrada Família. It felt like the tallest church in the world, for a moment, let its impossible beauty be seen by its creator.

Introducing Claude Fable 5: a Mythos-class model that we’ve made safe for general use. Its capabilities exceed those of any model we’ve ever made generally available.

An AI just read 200,000 brain MRIs. It learned every scan taken at the University of Michigan since radiology went digital. It can now diagnose over 50 neurological conditions in seconds. 97.5% accuracy. It knows which cases need urgent care. It knows which specialist to call. It does all of it before a doctor has even opened the file. The AI is called Prima. It just outperformed every other AI model tested against it. Radiologists spend years learning to do what Prima does in seconds. This is not the future of medicine. It is already here.

Today we remember D-Day, the Allied invasion of Normandy. With 160,000 troops, it was the largest seaborne invasion in history.

Our brains have natural rhythms, but caffeine and rigid schedules flatten our performance peaks. Working *with* nature, not against it, enhances output and well-being. @MithuStoroni Full episode: youtu.be/FFQ7I4222AA

Are we on the verge of a scientific revolution? Neuroscientist Donald Hoffman says “it’ll be over for the physicalists” in a few years if the math him and his colleagues are working on points to a deeper structure beneath space time.

Aging muscle struggles to recover after inactivity partly because senescent cells accumulate in the muscle niche. In aged mice, clearing these cells reduced inflammation, improved muscle regeneration, and restored strength after disuse. #Aging #MuscleHealth #Senescence @WuTsaiAlliance science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…
