The first pivotal, FDA-enabling clinical trial of a longevity drug is now fully enrolled We will monitor these dogs for the next ~4 years, quantifying millions of data points across biological changes, quality of life, disease, + lifespan

I've always disliked the 'societal decision' that medicine must only address things that are wrong rather than also making life better for those who are supposedly healthy - after all, who is to judge what 'healthy' really means?

Promising strategy for accelerating translational lipid nanoparticle research by screening pooled barcoded batches in terminally ill nonhuman primates (NHPs). This minimizes the NHPs needed for experiments and avoids harming healthy NHPs. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Deep dive by Abhishaike Mahajan ("Owl Posting") into Nabla Bio's unique computational strategy for engineering soluble versions of transmembrane proteins to facilitate more efficacious antibody screening. Very interesting exploration here! owlposting.com/p/better-antib…

A very interesting glimpse into how policymakers use a very different approach for learning about science than us scientists tend to expect. Keeping this in mind may help us better communicate science in policy settings, moving us towards better policies. issues.org/information-fl…
