I agree in part with this op-ed: academic publishing has long been a racket. Scientists produce the work, do unpaid peer review, and universities then buy back their own faculty’s research with grant money at outrageous prices. It’s an absurd model that has siphoned billions from

Scientists write and review papers without getting paid, and their institutions have to pay for access.

Exercise is the most powerful thing we know for longevity and reducing the risk of chronic diseases Exercise targets all the hallmarks of aging and attenuates age-related decline in function Exercise increases your well-being and quality of life Never stop exercising

@tgoff11 How many funds will be directly siphoned from the academic/research mission of universities and indirectly from donors who are increasingly asked to float these athletic budgets instead of supporting academic/research activities at their alma maters.....

A quick sample of 3 cancer cell lines shows completely different responses to ketone supplementation. https://t.co/oLWzb3yYXe Congrats to my student Anna on driving this cool application of metabolic flux analysis.

Muscle strength matters. But one factor is even more critical for longevity: Muscle power. Not just how much force you produce — but how fast you produce it. New data from 3,889 adults aged 46–75 shows: 🏋🏼 Low relative STRENGTH = 62–71% higher mortality risk over 10 years

More training is better…until it isn’t. So how much is too much in a single lifting session? New data shows strength gains may cap at 2 sets per session, while muscle growth plateaus around 11 sets. Beyond this, extra volume per session probably adds little - and could even

An MRI equivalent of FDG-PET? [D7]glucose can be imaged using a standard gradient recalled echo sequence to detect cancer and the response to treatment in mice.

DMRI with [H72]glucose allows for a safe and sensitive assessment of tumoral glucose avidity and treatment efficacy.
