Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Part of my medical practice involves anti-aging. The future is near. And yes, the research being done in the area is real.
Scientists in a Harvard lab for anti-aging have already discovered how to insert 3 genes into mice, converting their 80-year-old human equivalent animals into twenty-year-olds.
Even the arthritis, dementia, diabetes, and other age-related diseases in the rodents diminished or resolved. Soon, we as humans will understand how to live longer, "suspend life," and even reverse the effects of aging.
As with AI, there will be many ethical discussions around this new discovery.
Scientists have discovered a protein called Balon that acts like a pause button, stopping and starting cell activity in microbes.
Balon, found in Arctic bacteria, is common in 20% of bacterial genomes. It halts the cell’s ribosome, stopping protein production even mid-process.
This ability to pause and restart life could revolutionize space travel, allowing cells—and potentially humans—to enter suspended animation during long journeys to Mars and beyond.
Evolutionary molecular biologist Sergey Melnikov: "We live on a dormant planet. About 60% of microbial cells are in hibernation, conserving energy until conditions are better."
This discovery could help engineer organisms to survive harsh space environments by mimicking Balon's dormancy and rapid activation abilities.

We must take our America First message into big cities across the country to win over disenfranchised Dems and independent minded voters. President Trump will be in Detroit this weekend after a massive rally in the Bronx, with much more to come. No city left behind!
LARA 🇺🇸 #WomenForTrump on GETTR : Omg, he did it again! He don’t need to do a cognitive test anymore, what we need is to invoke the 25th amendment, at this stage it is more than obvious, that this guy is unfit for office!
