Academia relies on good faith. It cannot be done otherwise. This is precisely why plagiarists, people who fake data, people who deliberately ignore counter-evidence, and fascists need to be driven out. Full cordon sanitaire against this crap.

What does accelerated biological aging actually mean for children? Can we measure it with algorithms only trained in adults? And do different biomarkers of aging measure the same thing? Find out at my #SOBP2026 talk tomorrow afternoon 🧬🧠

1/13 Can epigenetic clocks and scores trained in adult blood be applied to blood and saliva in children? We systematically explore this in our new pre-print in a cohort with 291 matched pediatric blood and saliva samples @binderlabmpip.bsky.social 🩸💧🧬🧒🧵 doi.org/10.64898/202...

Limited Generalizability of Epigenetic Clocks and Scores Across Pediatric Tissues and Age Ranges
Epigenetic clocks and scores have been investigated as potential biomarkers of later-life health outcomes following early-life exposures. In pediatric settings, DNA methylation (DNAm) is often measure...

Heard about epigenetic aging at #ECNP2025 ? Curious to find out whether epigenetic clocks and scores also work in children? Want to know about consistent effects of childhood trauma across blood and saliva? Check out poster PS02-1267 today!

We wrapped up our fourth day of the Open Science Summer School 2025 ✅ Although the public lectures are over, registered participants still have one more day to benefit from the workshops and interactive sessions! You can find slides and recording of the public lectures here: osf.io/x639j/files/...
Male speaker Jonas Hagenberg wearing a green shirt and brown pants stands near female speaker Vera Karlbauer who is wearing a blue shirt with a white jersey underneath and black pants. Both speakers hold books and stand in front of a green and white Open Science Center sign where the LMU logo is visible on the top-left corner.Female facilitator Reema Gupta wearing a brown jersey and blue jeans stands as she helps a female participant sitting behind her grey laptop wearing glasses and a brown top. Visible on the table in front of them are a mug with coffee, an empty glass, green and pink Post-It notes, a computer mouse, and a microphone.
