In world where freedom of expression and politics of conviction are under threat, I keep thinking of my father who spent six years of his life as a political prisoner. Here is a blog I wrote about him some years ago - Honoring our fathers.

Thanks @ColumbiaMSPH for this reference to our new work. A newly refined method for measuring the Pace of Aging in population-based studies is proposed here; Check out the paper https://t.co/wdtqZciQ2S

What drives aging—biology or experience? Both. @ColumbiaAging’s new Pace of Aging method shows how life events like retirement accelerate aging—offering insights to improve global health and policy. @NatureAging
