#Eyes of the world's longest-living #vertebrate, the #GreenlandShark, show little #ageing
Greenland #shark (Somniosus microcephalus) can live for up to 400 years in the chilly North Atlantic and Arctic waters, making it one of the longest-living #vertebrates on Earth. And according to new research its seemingly undead eyes are fully functioning and barely deteriorate even after a century. Unravelling the shark's anti-ageing secrets could benefit human eye health.

The youngest person born in the '80s is currently 36.

Mrs Roach showed me a social medium post from a female tv presenter, who is celebrating a big milestone with a photo of themselves from their first episode and the traditional z-list cloud of vaguely related hashtags.
