LongeCity Newsletter
July

|
A slightly different format to the newsletter. While a bit less
colorful, hopefully it will display better in different email inboxes. This month, I'd like to draw your attention to two new articles in the 'portal' section: Firstly, in the last newsletter, we mentioned that a recent paper reporting a remarkable lifespan extension in rats related to 'buckyballs' in olive oil had generated some interest. Since then, a lively discussion has developed at LongeCity, with some even starting their own experiments at home. Meanwhile though, the authors of the article had to retract and correct the original publication in part. --> Read more about this in a critique here. The second piece is looking inward and out: A short treatise on how LongeCity views itself in relation to 'others' – individuals, initiatives and organisations. While much of what is stated in that article has been implicit, we thought it might be useful to articulate these positions clearly and as a reference point. --> Article about LongeCity & Others here These are just two of the recent publications on the site. In other articles, we have begun to move some of the 'old' entries over from ImmInst, and this will continue over the summer. In blogs, Mondey has reported on progress of he crowdfunded microglia stem cells trials. All this points to our interest in developing the site content alongside the daily forum discussions. For seamless integration and ease of reference, entries elsewhere on the site are usually flagged in or accessible through the forums. To give a boost to this type of content, for a limited time only, we have two current initiatives: The '∅ share rewards' scheme and the '∅ $10 re-post' initiative. Get involved! C. |
