I just launched my new website 🌐

I will add more info in the upcoming weeks but I am happy that the basics are all set, including a section on #ScienceCommunication with a wonderful graphical abstract by @sophieelschner.bsky.social that is available here:

Very interesting! Did physical activity also play a role or was there just no measure of it in your dataset?

⚡ Mendelian randomization suggests causal effects:
Higher blood pressure and type 2 diabetes drive accelerated brain aging — each 1 SD increase in blood pressure corresponds to ~0.5 years older brain age.
Results of the generalized summary-data-based Mendelian randomization (GSMR) results for 3 risk factors (exposures) and combined brain age gap (outcome). Each plot shows multiple genetic variants serving as instruments to test for causality between the exposure and outcome variable. Under a causal model, variant effects on the outcome (bzy; y-axis) are expected to be linearly proportional to the variant effects on the exposure variable (bzx; x-axis). The ratio between bzy and bzx provides an estimate of the mediation effect of x on y (bxy). Variants flagged for potential horizontal pleiotropy were excluded using the HEIDI-outlier method. s.e. standard error of the mediation effect; pxy P value of the mediation effect.

Gaea Schroeter, Trophäe: Ein Buch, das ich in den letzten zwei Tagen kaum weglegen konnte. Faszinierend, abstoßend, beklemmend; hab sicher 10 neue Wikipedia Tabs offen. 📖

Das erinnert mich an den Tag, an dem wir eine im Bodensee ausgesetzte Schildkröte für eine Nacht beherbergt haben - ein sehr aufregender Spaziergang nach Hause!

Second day of the conference of Experimental endocrinology in Freising! 🥨

Really enjoyed the talk by Henrik Oster on circadian appetite regulation which gave a lot of food for thought: should I really give this dessert in the evening a go? 💭

I’m on my way to Freising to attend the conference on experimental endocrinology where I got invited to present #NODES

This is a genuine reminder to participate in the second Delphi survey if you investigate hormones survey.questionstar.com/Share/QR/840...

We will close the survey this week.

Unfortunately, I also got one paper rejected for some unsatisfying reason, but I’m positive we will get this one published eventually…
