Somatic genetic variation (SOGV), accumulating during an organism’s lifetime, was traditionally viewed as detrimental rather than adaptive due to links with cancer and senescence. However, in modular...

WHY DOES THE EPIGENETIC CLOCK TICK? While money has been poured into developing therapies to reverse the epigenetic clock (@altos_labs 🤑), why the epigenome changes with age at all is unclear. In @NatureAging today, we suggest a potential driver: somatic mutations.

Pretty much any and all my growth as a scientist has been because I've found science-friends who are excellent at what they do and are always willing to talk shop The amount of never-published/patented tacit knowledge on how to actually do science dwarfs anything in print
Doing good science is 90% finding a science buddy to constantly talk to about the project.

Our community shared some kind words about Eric Crandall, assistant research professor of biology, who passed away last August. “He brought a lot to each friendship. He was sweet, kind, and gentle. He gave us a lot, and we will miss him." — Mónica Medina, professor of biology

Did you know some corals spawn only once per year? Shedd scientists recently collected gametes and reared coral larvae aboard Shedd's research vessel, the Coral Reef II, to study how this crucial life stage of coral survives in warming oceans. #spawnathon
