There’s a new face in the Himalayan Highlands! A female snow leopard cub was born this summer to mother Dariga and father Moutig. The female cub is doing well and has now reached the age she can venture with her mother into the Himalayan Highlands exhibit. (1/6)

Can dietary interventions change how fast genomes accumulate mutations with age?
We studied how caloric restriction (CR)—one of the most robust lifespan-extending interventions—affects somatic mutations across the genome in different tissues and cell types in mice.
surreal to be getting responses to job applications i submitted a year ago… #solong 👋
