Why our waistlines expand as we age. It turns out that some bad stem cells (adipocyte progenitor cells) come alive as we get older. But there's hope – metformin, a commonly used diabetes drug can help lower weight and decrease arthritic knee inflammation, too. Make you feel younger.

What?!. Regular chicken consumption (> 300 g/week) predisposes you to early death from gastrointestinal cancers? That doesn't make sense at all, unless you cook your chicken with carcinogens, or your chicken comes with them. I wouldn't change anything just yet. My instinct tells me that this study will fade away. It was a survey study based on people who participated in a study based in southern Italy. Maybe they drink a lot of wine there.

Phone apps may not be listening to your conversations as they were suspected of doing in the past, but many Android apps take silent screencaps of your phone and send them to third parties. Why do people get Android phones anyway?

Three articles about OHSU came out recently:
- OHSU plans to slow hiring, spending as financial losses mount
- OHSU Reports Nine-Month Loss, Showing Weakness as It Seeks to Buy Legacy Health
- Advanced Practice Providers at OHSU warn of burnout as bargaining continues
I really don't think that merger is going to happen. The only ones who seem to be in favor of it are the heads of OHSU & Legacy and the OHSU nurses union. It's not clear to me that they have the public's interests at heart.
Sci-hub has stopped adding articles to its offerings, but now it offers a way for people to donate articles to the site for others to get access to, through their new Sci-Net. I think it's a great, and I tried to sign up, but it requires that you first get a cryptocurrency wallet and pay for tokens to use the site. Nah, I'm not doing that.
