A paper in Nature Communications suggests that sustained visceral fat loss, rather than weight loss, is linked to better cognition and attenuation of brain atrophy years later, mainly via improved glycaemic control. go.nature.com/43nvaY6 🧪

Types of aging paper
To accompany all those Bluesky science/academia #starterpacks, how about we also share introductions to the literature of our different fields. I present here a handy guide to main types of papers in the language sciences (inspired by the amazing @xkcd.com). #language #linguistics #science #academia
Started an Autophagy Starter Pack: please let me know if you’d like to be added. Thanks.

🦋 #bluesky is finally taking off! Mastodon didn’t have the momentum but here we go 🤩 spread the word 🚨 don’t delete X straight away. There are several ways to find contacts here. Not just #starterpacks I think I used the browser extension Sky Follower Bridge . Quicker than you think! 🧪
Looks like Bluesky will cross 20 million users some time before I wake up tomorrow morning ET. The platform had 10 million users 2 months ago. It had about 15 million users a week ago. bsky-users.theo.io
Folks in science who do music - anyone around the LA area looking to jam? 🙏
Interesting but not a surprising observation in the grand scheme of events. Also, the contribution of this mechanism to rebound weight gain is likely to be limited unless it affects food intake per se. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Adipose tissue retains an epigenetic memory of obesity after weight loss - Nature
Stable epigenetic changes indicate the existence of an obesogenic memory in mouse adipocytes that primes cells for pathological responses in an obesogenic environment and potentially contributes to th...
