Today I became a cool Auntie. My 12yo nephew reads the The New York Times (what?!) and stumbled upon our discovery.

In people with diabetes, GLP-1 and SGLT2i drugs were associated with less Alzheimer's disease and related dementias jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

Congrats Margaret ⁦Margaret Gadek⁩ on a wildly successful PhD! Onto the MD! ⁦UC San Francisco⁩ ⁦Simons Foundation⁩

With gratitude for the Pignolo Prize in Aging Research from U Penn. Thanks David Wok, Edward Lee, John Pignolo, Virginia Lee - and others. Wonderful occasion!

🚨Very excited to share a new paper from our lab in Neuron (Neuron), on the influence of the estrous cycle on structural and functional plasticity in the hippocampus: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Thread below:

Samira is off to start her own lab at ⁦Temple University⁩ - we celebrated her tonight with stories, chocolate, and tacos! I’m very proud of her - and her paradigm-shifting discoveries on aging and the X chromosome. ⁦Simons Foundation⁩ ⁦UC San Francisco⁩

Super amazing group and amazing mentors. Highly recommend!

I'm thrilled to share our new study out in Nature Medicine! We show that a blood test can estimate how aged or youthful one’s organs are and that these organ ages predict future disease and lifespan. Final paper from my PhD in the Tony Wyss-Coray lab. 🧵1/12 🔗 nature.com/articles/s4159…
