It’s Sunday, and tomorrow I don’t have to work, as I have two weeks of vacation. The first time since May. My only breaks from work were when I hurt my hand and wasn’t able to type for a week, and two free days last week, but those also weren’t really relaxing for me. So I am very much looking forward to the next two weeks! I really feel the exhaustion from the last few months with work sometimes being stressful, the start of my fiancée’s teacher training, and some other topics.

DNA repair mechanisms help explain why naked mole-rats live a long life
Naked mole-rats are one of nature’s most extraordinary creatures. These burrowing rodents can live for up to 37 years, around ten times longer than relatives of a similar size.

The answer, at least in part, is due to a switch in a common protein that boosts DNA repair, according to new research published i … ⌘ Read more
