I'm a feminist gerontologist by training. Being in grad school in my 20s, studying elderly women was an immense privilege for many reasons, one of which being that I learned very early on that you either age or you die young. There's no third option. Aging is a privilege.

On Oct. 31, 1926, Charles Vance Millar died at his office desk in Toronto. Then things got weird. His will stipulated that the bulk of his fortune would go to the woman who had the most children in the next 10 years. This is the story of The Great Stork Derby. 🧵 1/12

Black-and-white family portrait of a large group: two adults seated in the center with a baby and several young children around them, surrounded by older children standing in rows. Formal 1940s attire, living room setting.

ME: *writing in my journal with the sole aim of pissing off future historians and archaeologists* I returned to my home - which is built in the usual style - by the normal way, and prepared and ate dinner in the way I often but not always do

What are the Perils of Being Born in the Fall? @msmacrophage.bsky.social shared the science behind that question at a community event hosted by the McMaster Institute for Research on Aging. The presentation was fantastic and the Q & A was lively. Terrific and fun #SciComm!
