Lots of talk about "sientific consensus" lately. There is majority opinion, sure, but if a scientist sees it as his mission to confirm consensus (aka "the Science"), he's not really involved in what should be his core business: curiosity and critical inspection of dominant ideas.

Still surprised that the concept of light pollution is still not widely known. Huge implications for human and animal health.

This study finds that psychiatrists who worked on DSM-5 received $14M in undisclosed funding from the pharmaceutical industry; the very industry that has profited enormously from DSM's over-medicalisation of everyday life. bmj.com/content/384/bm…
Semaglutide use is associated with neuromuscular junction degradation in older adults with type II diabetes mellitus bpspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/bc…
A lipostat that is driven upwards over time.
Still surprised how many of these trials lack a washout period and carry-over effects are neglected.

Fast-forward to 2025: We reanalyzed the same NHANES III dataset. Using improved “usual intake” methods & rigorous stats, we found no association between protein (total, animal, plant) & all-cause, CVD, or cancer mortality. 🔗 cdnsciencepub.com/doi/epdf/10.11…
Excellent opportunity, fully funded 3-year postdoc positions. If you’re interested in joining our group to push the boundaries of near-native structural biology, leveraging AI and time-resolved cryoEM, feel free to contact me for applying.

Virtually every large voice, from keto to vegan, including scientists who should know better (aka “qualified”) thrive on clicks and not rigor.

Higher physical activity intensity is more closely associated with reduced mortality risk than physical activity volume, particularly for cardiovascular disease mortality.
WILD. This paper suggests humans can awaken a dormant muscle fiber type (IIb) - the fastest we know of, but it is completely non-existent in humans (highly abundant in cats, cheetahs, mice, etc.). Some quick context. Humans have two major muscle fiber types: Slow and…

Latest from the lab: circulating taurine is not associated with age, muscle mass, strength, physical performance, or mitochondrial function, thereby challenging the implication of taurine deficiency as a primary driver of aging in humans. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ac…

This line of the discussion sums up pretty well problems with nutrition RCTs: “Maintaining the 8-week weight loss trajectories over 1 year may result in an estimated 9–13% and 4–5% weight loss on MPF and UPF diets, respectively”

Don’t fear the barbell 🏋️— fear a weak back. A new scoping review found no causal link between lifting load and chronic low back pain. ➡️Smart loading makes your back stronger — not broken. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38270054/
great example that age tests don’t measure aging
