Over the past five years, I’ve read many articles on the struggles of PhD researchers worldwide, yet little has changed to encourage young minds in science. I hope that one day, society will see science as a long-term investment and give it the support it deserves. www.firstpost.com/explainers/i...

DO-HEALTH trial (777 participants) found that omega-3 (1 g/day) slowed biological aging based on DNAm clocks, with additive benefits from vitamin D (2,000 IU/day) and exercise. Over 3 yrs, aging slowed by 2.9–3.8 months, suggesting a small but good protective effect. www.nature.com/articles/s43...
