For The Atlantic, Jennifer Senior writes about how and why people's subjective age -- the age you are in your head -- differs fromkottke.org
Yes it is and it’s so very sad to see some of the bigger lot now also just chasing Google for clicks.

Previously, it was uncertain how many deaths linked to PM2.5 were associated with dust.
According to the team’s estimates, 22 percent of the premature deaths associated with PM2.5 were due to dust—much of this in a “dust belt” that spans from West Africa to East Asia.

Windblown dust and human-caused particle pollution called PM2.5 likely contributed to 2.89 million premature deaths in 2019, according to research led by @nasagoddard scientists.
How Dust Affects the World’s Health
NASA research finds that a combination of windblown dust and human-caused particle pollution was associated with nearly 3 million premature deaths in 2019.go.nasa.gov

From 12/21: I spoke with Harmit Malik on the #EMBOPodcast about how he got started, mobile genetic elements, genomic defences, and (with @tlemberger) preprints.
"Just like many other important transitions in life, I think my transition from chemical engineering to biology was chaperoned by a fantastic mentor.
(...)
He made even dry topics seem very interesting - but when he was teaching about the Lac operon and the basic fundamentals of molecular biology I was completely transfixed. It became something that I felt I could not pass up the opportunity to see if this is something I could spend the rest of my career on."
