NTLA Set to Unveil First In‑Vivo CRISPR Phase 3 Data
Here is a video of me entering my office tomorrow knowing that $NTLA is about to present the first-ever Phase 3 data of an In Vivo (!) CRISPR Gene Editing Program. Somehow - and after @adamfeuerstein’s🧵👇- I have a feeling it won’t be the only BioTech and CRISPR news…🤔 $XBI https://t.co/lnKWPRO9qJ
Celebrating 61 Years of FFT: MIT’s Classic Breakdown
61 years ago this month, the Fast Fourier Transform was created, a powerful tool for image compression & data analysis. Watch a classic MIT breakdown of FFT, perhaps the most-taught algorithm at the Institute: https://t.co/R7zdspBswx v/@MITOCW https://t.co/lVabrS3syd
Domain Walls Stay Stable; Demagnetization Happens Locally
Ultrafast imaging reveals that magnetic domain walls remain highly stable under intense laser pulses, indicating that demagnetization occurs locally rather than through rapid boundary movement—an advance for faster, more efficient data storage. nanomagnetism
Light Pollution Endangers Atacama's World‑Class Dark Skies
Light pollution threatens the Atacama Desert’s uniquely dark skies, endangering one of the world’s premier sites for astronomical observation and critical research into the origins of the universe. lightpollution
Micron‑scale Chip Projects Images Onto Sub‑egg‑cell Area
Engineers have created a 1-square-millimeter chip that can project a photograph onto an area smaller than the size of two human egg cells. This precise laser control could have applications in augmented reality, biomedical imaging, and quantum computing. https://spectrum.ieee.org/mems-photonics
Midlife Fitness Proven to Boost Longevity and Health Span
A new JACC study from the Cooper Institute (April 22, 2026) followed nearly 25,000 adults for 30 years. As a medical school professor, I teach that the strongest longevity drug we have is not on a prescription pad. This study makes...
Missing Controls Cause Silent Bioinformatics Failures
1/ Too many bioinformatics analysis crash silently. You think it worked. But the truth? You didn’t include controls. That means: Bad results. Wrong science. https://t.co/UGGDX3PQzz
BMI Alone Misses Long‑term Heart Risk, Study Shows
A new Mass General Brigham study of 136,498 adults rewrites how we should screen cardiovascular risk. As a medical school professor, I teach that one lab number rarely tells the long-term story. This study (PLOS One, April 2026) shows the same...
Nesprin‑2 Protein Blocks Heart Cancer, May Aid Other Tumors
Wondered why we don’t hear about heart cancer? Contraction-sensing Nesprin-2 protein is discovered to prevent heart cancer By causing cells to pulse (or adding in Nespirin) we might be able to treat cancer in other organs 👏 @ScienceMagazine https://t.co/A8fOuw31N2
Soyuz‑5 Launch Delayed Again Amid Technical Glitches
According to utterly unofficial rumors, there were plans to launch Soyuz-5 today, but the inaugural flight had to be postponed again due to technical issues... Context: https://t.co/w5Hd8ypNxo https://t.co/1MAzdqXQJL
Extreme Weather Fuels New Wave of Climate‑Driven Inflation
From food to insurance, prices are rising because of extreme weather, turning climate change into a new and growing source of inflation. Read how economists and central bankers are getting better at linking temperatures to price increases here: https://t.co/CUAF4152SD 🎨: Bryson Lee...
Activists and Scientists Ignore Material Limits of Decarbonization
Climate ACTIVISTS are ignorant about the material limits to decarbonization @ctindale Most climate SCIENTISTS defer to the activists on renewables as the only action plan They are BOTH guilty of the Whitehead fallacy of making the assumption the conclusion and the...
UCI Sports Nutrition Project Delivers 10 Reviews, 4 Consensus Statements

H. Pylori and T. Gondii Infections Accelerate Frailty in Aging
Associations of common infections with frailty and mortality in two UK cohort studies "Our results indicate that infection with H. pylori and T. gondii, and the combined burden of infection may detrimentally impact ageing health. These pathogens may warrant targeting beyond...
