A cross-organ, multi-omics U-shaped relationship between sleep duration and biological ageing clocks highlights the potential of sleep optimization to promote healthy ageing, lower disease risk and extend longevity.

Good Afternoon! Beige blessings be upon you 

Today I have been getting on with my essay, and have 1808/2000 words now written. I now just have my conclusion to write and I will be done with that piece of work! So my plan for the rest of the day is to relax during the warmest part, and go back to my essay in a little while when the temperature is less silly in my tiny office room.
I think I will also take a look at the report I need to write and start to think about it so that my brain can work on it overnight, hopefully ready to go tomorrow!

Other than that I am likely to have a nap, and I might do a bit of reading too.

How's your day going?

🐝⚔️ #UCL researchers studying #tropical paper #wasps in the #Caribbean found that removing a queen triggers violent fighting among females.

But, hidden helpers called “compensators” skip the power struggles entirely, instead gathering #food and caring for #larvae – saving the colony from collapse.

Queenless wasp colonies explode into chaos but hidden helpers save them

When a queen wasp suddenly disappears, her colony doesn’t calmly choose a successor — it erupts into chaos. Researchers found that female wasps immediately begin battling for power, shattering the colony’s social order in a frenzy of aggression. But while some fight for the throne, others quietly become the colony’s unsung heroes, stepping up to gather food and care for the young so the society doesn’t collapse.

A 2026 #Nature #study by researchers at University of #Missouri and LMU #Munich shows the fish uses “gene conversion,” a #DNA repair trick, to erase bad #mutations and spread good ones without #sex.

Scientists Finally Know How an All-Female Fish Keeps Cloning Itself

It may sound too bizarre to be true, but the Amazon molly (Poecilia formosa), a fish that inhabits rivers, lakes, and swamps in Mexico and Texas, exists over much of its range in populations that are 100% female.
