"The layoffs at the Department of Health and Human Services slashed the staffs of major federal aging, disability and anti-poverty programs, leaving the future of those programs uncertain.

At least 40% of staff got layoff notices and many were turned away at the front door Tuesday when they showed up for work at the Administration for Community Living, or ACL, which coordinates federal policy on aging and disability."

When Maria Branyas died in August 2024, she was 117 years and 168 days old – officially the world’s oldest living person at the time. So, how did she do it? A team from the Josep Carreras Leukemia Research Institute in Spain conducted a comprehensive analysis on everything from her genes to her proteins to her microbiome to her metabolism. @ScienceAlert shares what they found:

ScienceAlert · Study on World's Oldest Woman Confirms How to Live Past 100When Catalonian Maria Branyas died in August 2024 at the grand old age of 117 years and 168 days, she was officially the world's oldest living person.

A longitudinal study of cognition and aging in 516 people aged 70 to 105, conducted until all participants died, confirmed the association between intelligence and longevity, and found that verbal fluency was the component most strongly associated with longevity. Measures of perceptual speed, verbal knowledge, and episodic memory were not linked to longevity.

Association for Psychological Science - APSMastery of Language Could Predict LongevityA recent study has linked longevity specifically to verbal fluency, the measure of one's vocabulary and ability to use it.

Old friends coming over. We know each other since school, decades ago. We last met 7 years ago.

At my stage in life, this means wrinkles and all sorts of rather visible changes to our bodies. Not incapacity, necessarily, but an annoying dominance of wear and tear, all over.

Old friends meet, each absorbs the shock of seeing what is happening to the other, each recognises that their friend has the same experience.

Also: the joy of complete trust when meeting those old friends. Laughing together about subtle references to events 50 years back. The affirmation of having done a few things right in our lives. The easy recognition of past mistakes. All is good now. We have left those grudges and embarrassments behind us.

My braised ox cheek, slow-cooked in the chicken stock that I had made especially for the occasion in the week before: a success. Enjoying simple things together, based on a half century of shared experiences, good and bad.
