🧪Progress made in building a senescence atlas to help map #aging and develop strategies to combat the detrimental effects that contribute to disease and distinct natural aging. Are senolytics the answer, if senescence is a defence against cancer? @cellpress.bsky.social www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

After years of speculation, cryo electron microscopy confirms statins can interact with calcium regulatory proteins, partly attributable to cause of muscle pain than limits effective use. 🧪🫀 scitechdaily.com/why-do-stati...

What I find interesting was the pfe and post op levels, clearly showing the rise after procedure (not before), which means it could be iatrogenic.

Compare these a year apart. Note my issue is not that someone edited the photo to augment his frown line into a droop - it was the contrasting to stroke survivors. Fin.

Yeah if you can’t tell it has been enhanced, I’m not sure what else to say. This was from June, if I augment the face line - boom guess what, same same.

It is the Getty image, not the video I commented on. It is the intention of the image that is beneath journalistic integrity. You don't have to defend @atrupar.com - he is more than capable of reflection.

This is the original image, it is not indicating stroke or TIA, and the angle somewhat accentuates the right side of the frown on his face. It is misinformation. Blocking me on lists only reinforces that this wrong, and people are perpetuating what they despise on other social media. Just be better.

Dr. Keith R. Brunt @profbrunt.bsky.social · 11/09/2025
Here is the original photo that was manipulated, he is simply looking down and frowning slightly. The angle of the image modestly accentuates the right side of his face. It is NOT helpful, nor accurate to equate this with a stroke or TIA. It is misinformation, and journalists must do better.

Amen, even if in another province - solidarity from your DFA colleagues in New Brunswick- no medical school this week (bad start).
DFA members from Dalhousie Medicine New Brunswick pump their fists in the air in solidarity as they stand in front of the medical school that they are locked out of, unable to teach medical.or graduate students there.

Medical students should be learning today, in anatomy labs, getting curriculum maps, receiving lectures and engaging with Faculty. Next week ALL students will be as behind in ALL programs, engineering, law, biology, EVERYTHING!!! Dalhousie is a Canadian U15 institution - an unprecedented lock out
DMNB DFA members in New Brunswick raise their fists in solidarity with colleagues, wearing DFA shirts in front of the medical school that they are locked out of.DFA members in New Brunswick point to their backs, where #KeepDalStrong is printed on their DFA T-shirts They stand looking at the medical school they are locked out of, and so can't teach medical or graduate students there.

Showing up in New Brunswick in solidarity with our DFA colleagues @dalfaculty.bsky.social to help #KeepDalStrong after we were locked out by @dalhousieu.bsky.social in a labour disruption. Our medical students were supposed to be learning anatomy this week, but are now a week behind Let's negotiate

I find it interesting when people block me for no apparent reason. Did I interact with them? Not that I recall. Maybe they are selling something they don't want a scientist to see? Who knows. Shrug🤷‍♂️ Stay fit and have fun Mr. Hewitt. @fitfastcoach.bsky.social

#Alzheimers brains undergo many changes, one that surprised even me was a difference is breathing rate! Microvascular damage is rooted in the disease, but no true cause has yet been found. How cells manage oxygen & blood flow may be key to detection or treatment 🧪🧠 go.newsfusion.com/science-news...

Are you one of many taking Aspirin daily? The harms outweigh the benefit, so why are so many people taking "baby aspirin" - should we blame #Oprah for this weird pattern that seems to hold on or the makers of #Aspirin ? You decide and let me know: 🧪❤️ fortune.com/well/article...

Not sure how to reconcile, cell spots, unlike oligo spotting, are inherently chaotic, generate whole panel turns, pull any one identical spot and there should be variation in relative pixels intensity within spot.

To my dear social media friend @DrugMonkey, I am sorry this was so offensive to you, after you made a blanket statement using the pejorative "MAGAts", but protecting your mental health means getting out of the mud, not into it. I won't reciprocate in hopes you see the wisdom in that.

Here is a good example of false dichotomy, it will make you miserable - please dont import the polemic perspective/attacks. Do raise concern, voice consequences, deconstruct the message, expose the trope and tools used to conflate or confuse.
