🧵1/ This is a personal thread. It is also a tale of two ministers. One of them shepherded over the line the most significant bill on academic freedom in living memory. The other released a written statement at 9:40 am today, killing it.
2023 was the year of the "Great Awokening" for many. One question I'm often asked by those who recently left the woke is, "How long will this culture war go on?" They thought Oct. 7, the Claudine Gay farce, etc., would shock America back into reason and common sense. Long 🧵:
If the fraction of highly-protected older people infected with Omicron is big enough relative to the very small fraction who got Delta, then in theory this could even increase the average IHR even though it is decreasing within each age group. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson%2…
Incredible telly. Impeccable timing.

Second paper of @AndyMcCracken5's PhD out in JEB. Well done!! Dietary reaction norms can hide apparent lack of DR in certain conditions (genotype or environment): jeb.biologists.org/content/early/…
New research challenges theory of dietary restriction as survival strategy irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/w…
So caloric restriction may not be so good, after all. It has hidden costs. @ScienceAdvances @AndyMcCracken5 @MirreSimons @SheffieldAPS @sheffielduni advances.sciencemag.org/content/6/8/ea… #justsaysinflies but important, contrarian #aging
