Commented on Medical Advancements
Nanobodies, special antibodies found in camels, llamas, and alpacas, are revolutionizing medicine. Their small size and stability allow them to target specific areas and withstand harsh conditions. Researchers are already using nanobodies to fight diseases like anthrax and aTTP and are developing them for cancer treatment with fewer side effects. Nanobodies hold immense promise for the future of medicine with many potential applications still being explored. Interesting to watch at https://youtu.be/7cTH_pAEiog?si=EiRCtPA-FJD2Q0Ef

Social media's role in science communication is transformative. It democratizes access to scientific knowledge, allowing researchers to directly engage with a diverse audience and foster a community around their work. I agree entirely that platforms like Twitter and LinkedIn can be used to reach a broad audience, including researchers, policymakers, and the general public. Read the interview with two Horizon EU projects and learn how to make the most of social media:https://rea.ec.europa.eu/news/science-communication-how-social-media-can-effectively-boost-your-research-project-2023-08-11_en

Commented on Advancing Genomic Discoveries & Implementation: A focus on underrepresented groups
This is convincing that pharmacogenomics is medicine's future, especially for underserved communities. It's crazy to think medications are still prescribed based on a one-size-fits-all approach, considering everyone's genetic makeup is different!

Commented on Anti-aging research
The increase in life expectancy in Southern Europe is a testament to the powerful impact of lifestyle and diet on health, even beyond economic factors. I found an interesting article in the Economist about this (https://www.economist.com/europe/2024/06/20/why-southern-europeans-will-soon-be-the-longest-lived-people-in-the-world). Southern Europeans are expected to become some of the longest-lived people in the world, thanks to factors like the Mediterranean diet, which is rich in vegetables, fruits, and olive oil, and low in red meat. This diet, combined with an active lifestyle and strong social bonds, contributes to lower rates of heart disease and strokes. Healthcare investment also plays a role, although it's not the sole determinant of longevity. As a result, life expectancy in countries like Spain, Italy, and France is projected to reach between 84 and 86 years by 2050, despite their lower GDP than other wealthy regions.
