ALT Square, with white text and a white British Heart Foundation logo at the end, with a red background. Text reads "We have been appalled by the violence we’ve seen across the UK over recent days, and deeply saddened to see the impact it has had across our BHF team and the communities we serve. We stand alongside everyone affected and strongly condemn racism, discrimination and inequality in all its forms. The show of unity across communities up and down the UK yesterday brings us light and hope as we work towards a better future, for all.”

Bilbo Baggins is 111.
Yet his epigenetic age is only 50.
He’s aging at an annual rate of 0.00, like butter scraped over too much bread, outpacing Dave Pascoe.
Here’s a breakdown of his biohacking protocol (it costs WAY less than you think):

Here is a wood carving of the Purkinje #neuron drawn by Cajal more than 100 years ago. It took me a bit more than 30h to make (no automation, using a scroll saw). Oak wood, 20x30 inches. This one is spoken for but I have it listed in the shop (more photos and link in 🧵). #science #art

"His thoughts wandered"
Biochemist Kary Mullis discovered the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) while driving a route well known to him at night. His thoughts wandered, the pieces of a puzzle he had been thinking about fell into place and the rest is history.
