Thousands Evacuated After Papua New Guinea Volcano Erupts
Posted by Genevieve Klien in category: futurism
At a Glance
- Thousands were evacuated from Papua New Guinea islands after the volcano on Kadovar Island erupted.
- Officials have expressed fears of possible tsunamis and landslides triggered by the eruption.
Thousands have been evacuated from islands in Papua New Guinea after a volcano began erupting over the weekend.
Around 1,500 residents of Kadovar Island were forced to flee when the peak, which was long dormant, exploded after spending several days venting ash, Reuters reports. Officials moved evacuees to the nearby island of Blup Blup, which was later evacuated. People were then sent to the mainland.

Researchers Discover a New Warning System in the Immune System
Posted by Nicola Bagalà in category: biotech/medical
A new immune mechanism that uses mitochondrial DNA was discovered by Swedish researchers.
Researchers at Linköping University in Sweden have discovered a new kind of warning system that plays a role in the immune system. Mitochondria in the white blood cells produce a web of DNA fibers that act as a kind of alarm.
The Mitochondrial web slinger

Future of Revolutionary Field That Targets Aging to Increase Life Span
Posted by Brady Hartman in categories: biotech/medical, life extension
The future of lifespan extension science by the head of US research, Felipe Sierra.
Summary: These scientists aim to increase life span in humans. This report provides a glimpse into the future of a revolutionary scientific field called geroscience that seeks to slow down the chronic diseases of aging to increase life span and health span. Part 4 of a 4-part essay titled Geroscience by Felipe Sierra. [With an introduction by Brady Hartman. ]
Scientists in the geroscience field aim to slow down the chronic diseases of aging and increase life span in humans.

Why Do We Age? The Disposable Soma Theory Answers the Riddle
Posted by Brady Hartman in categories: evolution, life extension
Summary: Why Do We Age? Scientists answer the question with the latest evolutionary theory of aging, the disposable soma theory, which supports the longevity benefits of calorie restriction. With commentary by leading geroscientist, Tom Kirkwood. [This article first appeared on the website LongevityFacts.com. Author: Brady Hartman. ]
The process of aging, or growing old, presents an apparent contradiction to people who believe in Darwin’s theory of evolution. Aging increases the vulnerability of an organism, which ultimately leads to its death. How could evolution favor a process that gradually increases mortality and decreases the ability to reproduce?
Leading scientists have found an answer to this puzzling contradiction and offer us new theories to explain why we age and die using evolutionary theory – the idea that aging confers an evolutionary advantage.
