Lots of science stuff today helping to make up, somewhat, from a dearth of blogging last week. This article is more in the way of a tantalizing hint than anything else. The author contributes to this by so adequately covering ‘both sides’ that one is left with the conclusion that there is no conclusion. However, it is exciting to me to realize that there are still groups doing research that can contribute to (healthy) longevity. I just hope they get their act together before I die of old age!
