#Trauma may leave #epigenetic marks that are passed to following generations. Some preliminary evidence for this hypothesis comes from a (relatively small) study with Syrian families. Mechanisms unclear. But think about how this may affect historical trajectories of, e.g. countries traumatized by war. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-00937-z

My prayers today.
Prayers for children and women liberated from prison in #Syria today. Prayers for children and women not yet liberated from their tormentors in #gaza. Prayers for children and women yearning to learn in #afghanistan.
Prayers that all who seek to limit harm imprison impoverish and enslave children and women everywhere in the name of #religion and #security kindly take a hike. You too, #whiteChristiannationalist bros in #usa
May peace prevail on earth.
@laurakwhite I'm looking for some primers on detecting #epigenetic modifications in our #Nanopore seqs, and I'm happy to see the author is on #Mastodon
Do #epigenetic changes contribute to long-term #bacterial adaptation? @Rekha_G_Nair &co show that changes in #DNAmethylation enable rapid adaptation of the crop pathogen #Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum to novel hosts, stable over 100 generations #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3TCW89Q

#Cannabis Use Linked to #Epigenetic Changes
Using cannabis may cause changes in the human body's epigenome, a study of over 1,000 adults suggests. The epigenome functions like a set of switches, activating or deactivating genes to change how our bodies function.

"This study suggests that a short‑term vegan diet is associated with epigenetic age benefits and reduced calorie intake,"

"To our knowledge, these are among the first findings to demonstrate associations between added #sugar intake & #epigenetic #aging using second-generation epigenetic clocks... Promoting diets aligned with chronic disease prevention recommendations and replete with antioxidant or anti-inflammatory & pro-epigenetic health nutrients while emphasizing low added sugar consumption may support slower cellular aging relative to chronological age"

“Metacognitive #MindStorm”
Can we build a metacognitive mind?
Most likely we do in some form perhaps . In its basic sense it’s simply thinking about thinking. Does it go deeper?

Fun review led by Sebastien Matlosz
Took an interesting turn during review, but ended in a good spot
And now Sebastiens phd defense in leas than a month
