    I eat tuna often, and I’ve never noticed anyone that can’t draw separate conclusions based entirely for reasons without cause or makes little sense. Evidence of heavy metal caused features resemble natural pathways just fine. It’s like spending worry about higher lead or cadmium. Who does it?




  • The expert quoted has had quite a life:

    After earning a BA in English literature from UCLA, Austad left academia for a number of years during which among other things, he drove a taxi cab in New York City, worked as a newspaper reporter, and trained lions for television and movies.

    He sounds pretty cool.

    I admit I looked him up only because his view challenged what I’ve been seeing in reporting on studies done in this area. I’ve seen what seems like a trend in studying and comparing changes in lifespan and healthspan in male and female subjects (in both human and mouse). I suspect I am suffering from some recency bias, but it really does seem to me like studies in this area are better at teasing out sex differences than in non-longevity lines of research.

    Anyway, thought I’d mention the expert’s colorful past

    The instructions were probably more helpful for someone who knew what these tubes were. I was probably about 6 at this point, hadn"t been actively involved in much TV repair by this time, and I guess I somehow didn’t pick up enough clues from the context of the instructions to put it all together before just leaping into playing with the dials and switches. You know, like a kid
