Could humans really live forever, as Russian President Vladimir Putin was heard telling Chinese leader Xi Jinping? Maybe not, though serious research is increasingly revealing more about why we age. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/09/05/world/science-health/xi-putin-immortality-explainer/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #sciencehealth #vladimirputin #xijinping #biotechnology #genetics #transplants

"Hear that buzz? The long-awaited update of the landmark UC Davis-authored book, Queen Bee Rearing and Bee Breeding by Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. (1907-2003), “the father of bee genetics,” and his former doctoral research mentee Robert E. Page Jr., now an internationally known bee geneticist, is about to be published."

Our primary instance is shutting down and we ended up repurposing another account however it appears that instance is unstable and may be shut down at a future date so 3rd times hopefully don't have to jump ship again for a while #introduction - Updated: 2025-08-10

We're The Weather System (Athena's Realm System), We're Trans fem, and we're an officially diagnosed autistic, bipolar and dissociative identity disorder system, we a collection of various leftist, and believe strongly in queer, and neurodiversity rights movements, we view plurality in general as neurodivergence

Our pronouns are Su/Sudo/Suselves, however She/Her/Herselves, and They/Them/Theirselves

We are most likely to toot about #Medicine, with focus on #Genetics, #Epigenetics, #Bioinformatics, and #Neuroscience giving our focus back in uni was Genetics of Human Disease, and Neuroscience but we are likely to talk about a whole range of medical topics, besides medicine we are likely to toot about #meteorology and #geology, with specific interests in #SynopticMeteorology#TropicalCyclones / #Hurricanes / #Typhoons / #TropicalStorms, #ExtratropicalCyclones, #SubtropicalCyclones, and #Tornadoes, among other topic, and we may toot about #Geology, #Minerals, and #Vulcanology, and what ever else is on our mind, we collected #MyLittlePony and are a fan of every generation of MLP, also we collect #WildManes and Radioactive stuff and play #EliteDangerous

edit extra info: [Also to note we're storm chasers, so we may occasionally post photos and media from chases, our focus is usually on Tropical Cyclones within the Australian Region Basin with mainly focus on the Coral Sea, these will usually be marked with the Tropical Cyclone and Hurricane tags]

See attached thread for System Information, System Membership 58+

Our system name is subject to change, it was previously the Athena's Realm System, however only one member, arguably two members made that decision on behalf of the entire system, without consulting us, so we're in the process of trying out system names to see which fits us best, but for the time being we will display both "Athena's Realm" and the current trialing system name so it is less confusing for those who know us by our old system name

My question for #researchers in the fields of #biology , #genetics , #medecine , etc... is are we going to be ready for the possibility of #PubMed and other #NIH online databases and services becoming one of the many casualties of the current #US administration and its increasingly unreliable #HHS department?

This is an interesting opportunity for the broader international research community to create a more distributed, resilient alternative. Scientists, citizen or otherwise... any ideas? #phd

“On June 27, 2025, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Missouri approved the proposed purchase of all of the assets of 23andMe by TTAM Research Institute (“TTAM”) … TTAM is a nonprofit medical research organization founded by Anne Wojcicki (Co-Founder and former CEO of 23andMe).”

– 23andMe bankruptcy notice

Well this all sounds above board…
