Let me introduce Cell Tree Rings (CTR): the shape of somatic evolution as a human aging timer, we at AgeCurve believe CTR can serve as a core component for combined aging clocks to mitigate current uncertainty in assessment of geroprotective trials 1/17 biorxiv.org/content/10.110… The central conjecture behind our approach is that the shape (combination of branch lengths + branching patterns) of cell lineage trees is predictive of organismal aging status. A perspective by me from 2019 on potential role of cell trees in aging 2/17 peerj.com/preprints/2782…

Day #1 #studyingCausality by @yudapearl, since this is a research project have to get my hands dirty & find existing code for implementing causal graphical models: DONE! library: github.com/ijmbarr/causal… code, tutorial: degeneratestate.org/posts/2018/Jul… by Iain Barr @yudapearl Day #1 #studyingCausality p1-6 Intro to Probability Theory 2 reasons causality analysis starts w/prob 1. uncertainty of everyday situations where type 'causes' are usually in between, not necessary, nor sufficient 2. prob theory can handle exceptions unlike common causal language

the #math book I was waiting 4 & how concept of curvature should be introduced quickly, bought it 4 ~20 GBP @ @heffersbookshop, will study it pseudo-religiously on a daily basis or as a humanist scholar but will benefit from it as the scientist/biologist I am :) thx @wtgowers&co @heffersbookshop @wtgowers already had exposure to some articles in this book, a true companion, when using Safari Books Online as an @emblebi-er
