This was a terrific team effort. Congrats, Mitchell, on a really nice piece of work!
Does natural genetic variation impact rapamycin efficacy? You better believe it! Proud to see my postdoctoral work in Daniel Promislow's lab published! Have a look! https://lnkd.in/gD4wJC7k

Thank you A4LI for becoming a Champion of the Dog Aging Project. We really appreciate your support!
We are happy to announce that A4LI is a Champion for the The Dog Aging Project Campaign! With your donation of $25 or more, you will receive a 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝟏-𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐀𝟒𝐋𝐈 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩. 𝐃𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐤: 𝐡𝐭𝐭𝐩𝐬://𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐫-𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭.𝐨𝐫𝐠/𝐠𝐨/𝐐𝐂𝟑𝐄𝐃𝐀𝟒𝟎𝐮𝟒. This is a great way to support 2 important organizations that are in the forefront of advocating for more funding in geroscience research. In brief, The Dog Aging Project is the largest longevity study in the world and was recently defunded by the NIH after 5 years of support.

In human medicine, the ability to measure frailty is a vital aspect of geriatric care. Soon, frailty will also be an important consideration in caring for pets. —Ultimately, measuring frailty is an important part of the Dog Aging Project's overall mission of helping dogs live longer, healthier lives. The DAP is creating the Frailty Instrument for Dogs, or "FIDo," that will be used to make health decisions and personalize geriatric veterinary care for real dogs of all shapes and sizes. Check out the article from the Texas A&M School of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences to learn more: https://lnkd.in/gD-UyX5D 🐾 The Dog Aging Project aims to track canine #aging to help #dogs and their owners live longer.

We have an extraordinary opportunity to recruit a mid-to-senior level geroscientist to the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology at the University of Washington in Seattle, WA. The position will come with a generous start-up package, lab space and tenure. If you know of good candidates for this position, I would greatly appreciate your help in bringing this to their attention.

We're excited to introduce the Dog Aging Project to the global scientific community today in the pages of Nature! This explains our methodology and lets other scientists know what kind of data we can share fueling discovery worldwide. Our team hopes to create a resource with the power to transform veterinary medicine, aging research, and many scientific and non-scientific fields of inquiry. Publication of the methodology in Nature provides testament to the ambitious scope and wide applicability of the project. It has taken years of work to get to this point for our interdisciplinary team across the University of Washington, Texas A&M University, Princeton University and a dozen other institutions.
