From the DART Biotech awards.

Damn I have to geek out here for a minute. I am listening to this dude give a tlk on the lambda repressor. It’s been 20 minutes of rambling about how life is just mass action and kinetics. He has the smug confidence of a man who doesn’t know how dated he is. Denying Systems Biology is the new Inteligent Design.

Seriously, just because you figured out that the Cancer field is mostly bullshit doesn’t make you Linus Pauling!

Now Len Girrenti is talking about Sirtuins. Makes sense that Sir2 in year and worms points to a working Sir2 in humans.
“I don’t know of caloric restriction will make you live longer, but it will sure feel like it did”. Ha!

I guess the whole point of taking resveratrol is to pretend like you are living like a yogi. Awesome!

Sirt1 stimulates BDNF production. Who is taking a systems approach? There must be a bunch of people.

It makes me think about going all out on aging. That field is never going away.
