Yeah… I found a link with some more info. Bad reporting of the denominator. Very small samples sizes, especially for Gen Z, and limited info on sampling. Still very perplexing.

🧵8. But then, for some people (mostly older), doses of extra estrogen could loosen up the plaques and cause them to dislodge from the artery wall and block smaller blood vessels . Bad…

It was this photo! Now that I re-read the article, I see that it never used the word dishwasher. Instead, it was this photo. At the time, it made me catch my breath… the disconnect btw the style of house and the extreme desert situation… like a flashback scene in an apocalypse movie…

Francesca Duncan @nuduncanlab.bsky.social made this nice model of reproductive aging, comparing decline of human ovarian function to other organ systems Not a perfect analogy (especially since there’s a lot we don’t understand about aging in these other tissues either) but interesting #SRI2025

Stylized line graph. X-Axis is “Age in years (20-80 years). Y-axis is “performance percentage” (20-100%)

5 lines (4 blue, 1 red) start at 100% performance in upper left corner. Blue lines (“nervous system” “heart function” etc) show decreasing performance until
Age 80. But red line representing “female fertility” shows a decrease all the way to bottom of y-axis at age 50

This is a great explainer from @pewresearch.org about who is in the federal workforce and what they do. www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

Infographic in shape of a square representing total federal workforce. Square is divided into smaller rectangles for each federal executive Department, like dept of defense, department of the Army, etc. size of rectangles are proportional to number of workers employed by that dept. VA and homeland security and military-related departments are biggest. Agriculture, treasury, HHS, justice are medium sized. All the rest are smallish
