Diagnosed with autism at age 2, told he would never learn to read, now 14 years old and working on a Master’s degree in quantum physics.

If you’re looking for an inspiration today, look no further than Jacob Barnett.

I like his mom’s concept of “muchness”: Surrond children with what they love, be it art, science, sports or whatever, and they will develop more fully than molding them to a design would ever allow.

Scientists have found a biological command centre for the ageing process in a lump of brain the size of a nut.

The US team identified the mechanism in the hypothalamus, which sits deep inside the brain, and showed they could tweak it to shorten or lengthen the lives of animals.

In a series of experiments, the researchers found they could extend the lives of mice by a fifth, without the animals suffering from muscle weakness, bone loss, or memory problems common in old age.

The work raises the tantalising prospect of drugs that slow down natural ageing to prolong life in humans, but more crucially to prevent age-related diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, and Alzheimer’s.

“We’re very excited about this. It supports the idea that ageing is more than a passive deterioriation of different tissues. It is under control, and can be manipulated,” Dongsheng Cai at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York told the Guardian.

Priorities. Books piled everywhere > worrying about being a hoarder
