Cumulative timeline graph of Neuralink implants by month and year, including the most recent "double"--two implants on one day. Total is 9. Curious that "how many" should be leading metric for a medical device under study. Musk has predicted large numbers, i.e. scale up.

Children announced from pronuclear transfer study in UK. Idea: avoid mitochrondria disease by moving genome of fertilized egg into a donor egg. Problem: risk of reversal to unhealthy mitochrondria type. Ethics: OK to make sick babies, sometimes? technologyreview.com/2025/07/16/112…

Incredible, @VPrasadMDMPH and @Sensible__Med have repeatedly argued that public health decisions MUST be backed by rigorous clinical trial data with practical endpoints, and Makary is just going with family narratives.

AAaron Rupar@atrupar · Jul 14

Makary: "We have a lot of data and it may not necessarily be the traditional 50 year randomized control trial follow up. It's data from families that say their kids have been acting with bad behavior ... and they eliminate the petroleum-based food dyes and the behavior improves.…

Utter BULLPUCKEY. Reports of bipaternal mice since 2018 (cell.com/cell-stem-cell…) Viable ones in 2023 (nature.com/articles/s4158…) not the first.

For the first time, mice born from TWO DADS. No eggs. Just sperm from two males + cutting-edge gene editing = living, breathing mice. This is insane 🧵👇

Clever headline making the rounds. True that ovaries are a very important focus of aging research. True that the quackery side of longevity is co-ed.
