.@richroll perfectly summarizes how he thinks about aging on Twitter:

"I didn't reach my athletic peak until I was 43.
I didn't write my first book until I was 44.
I didn't start my podcast until I was 45.

At 30, I thought my life was over.
At 52 I know it's just beginning."
I had the honor of meeting Rich one year ago. He's a phenomenal example of how humans can push themselves to the limit (Rich regularly competes in grueling Ultraman races that consist of a 6.2-mile swim, a 261.4-mile cycle, and a 52.4-mile run).
In this latest podcast, we picked up our conversation where we left off…by further exploring the science behind extending human lifespan.

Could knowledge about how spiders make silk help #COVID19 patients? As a trained scientist, I'm using my time to answer questions put to me, and to uncover new facts and connections that others may not see. Here's thread #2...
#coronavirus destroys surfactant (soap)-making cells in the lungs, causing air passages to stick together & crackle while breathing. This 'crepitance' is seen in pneumonia and late stages of #covid19. Treating adults requires large amounts of surfactant but would it even work?...
Premature infants often suffer from respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) due to insufficient surfactant. This is treated today with surfactant preparations extracted from animal lungs, e.g. Curosurf, Infasurf, Alveofact, Survanta...

Since my Harvard lab closed yesterday, I've been reading and interpreting this week's published papers on #COVID19. What follows is a thread of information, my interpretation, links to sources & predictions. Let's start with what you need to know... #coronavirus #COVIDー19
Treatments that seem to work are chloroquine (a cheap malarial drug), Gilliad's remdesivir with interferon-beta (in clinical trials from COV-19), plasma from recovered patients, and a steroid (methylprednisilone). Doctors in US are now using remdesivir off-label...
SARS-CoV2 attacks pneumocytes in lung, intestine, heart & cells lining blood vessels. In lung, CoV2 prevents cells from making biological detergents to keep lung passages open. Acute respiratory distress follows. O2 levels fall..but there's may be a dangerous underlying process..

I don’t like to gamble, but if there’s one thing I’m willing to bet on, it’s myself.

Our daughters chose this quote. Can you tell? 😉
We need to give kids confidence and engage them in science, especially young women.

1 Destiny

So, it took me 55 years to write my first book but about six months to write the second. I'm proud to say that "Destiny: 100 Years of Music, Magic, and Community at Orchestra Hall in Detroit" will be published in October by @DetroitSymphony
@DetroitSymphony 2. The DSO commissioned me and designer Julie Pincus to create the book in honor of the 100th anniversary of the hall, which opened October 23, 1919. It's gorgeous: large format, more than 150 pages, about 160 photos/images, many of them rare, some previously unpublished.
@DetroitSymphony 3. The book is substantive too. The text is about 23,000 words and digs deep, not only into DSO history but also Detroit's broader social and cultural history.

Today's #TenThings will be about HOW TO DEAL WITH NAYSAYERS, DREAMKILLERS, AND FRENEMIES WHILE WRITING. Because the moment you start telling people you're going to write your first book, WOOBOY do friends and family have thoughts that aren't helpful.
The usual vault rules apply: YMMV, my way is not the only way, everyone's situation and journey are different. This advice is meant for new and first-time writers aiming for traditional publishing.
1. 1st, permission: You don't have to tell ANYBODY that you want to write a book. Yeah, science says that part of goal setting is to engage fam and friends to make yourself accountable, but... you do you. I kept my writing a secret from all but my husband until I had a 1st draft.

If your goal for 2019 is to write a book, here are 10 tips to help you do that. Here's #1: There is no one way to write a book. Whatever gets it done is your process. But I'm going to tell you what helped me write my first book, because honestly? I didn't think I could do it. 1/
I can't write a book until I know:
* who is the main character
* what are the strengths and *real* weaknesses that make them unique
* what is the world like, and how does it challenge the mc
* when does the story start
* what is the climax
* how does it end
Nail it down. 2/
With my first attempts at writing a book, I sat down in front of a blank screen and waited for genius to strike. It won't! So you need to know where you're starting and where you end up. And then decide that your first chapter will be garbage. Because it will! THEY ALL ARE. 3/

💪A thread on amazing Twitter threads 😍👇
In the process of revamping my #Twitter profile (dormant earlier), I have come to appreciate the wonderful underutilized platform it is!
Some threads contain crisp knowledge capsules that can help many. Starting 1 on such curated content
1. I largely rely on this: threadreaderapp.com to find content
2. What I wish to share is what coincides largely with my interests- #Learning, #Investing, #Behavioralpsychology (#mentalmodels, #bias, etc), #Businessbooks, Industry insights/case studies, Life experiences, etc
3/n
 While it will be difficult to structure the order of content here, I will try to block threads by category (as noted above & more). Feel free to comment with any good thread that you would have come across. Cumulative learning always helps.

(1/n) This thread is a #summary of the #book "Write it down and make it happen" by Henriette Anne Klauser

#habits #productivity #motivation #neuroplasticity
(2/n) A lot of people only have vague ideas about what they really want. They desire more money, a better job, someone to love or the chance to travel somewhere exotic.
You may have similar desires of your own. But if you want to make them a reality, you need to be precise.
3/n So rather than saying “I want money,” say, “I want exactly enough money to open a restaurant.” And when it comes to love, figure out exactly what you’re looking for. Maybe it’s someone who is funny, kind and doesn’t mind that you don’t want to have kids.
