Our review of aging & sociality in the amazing @CayoSantiagoPR macaques is out now! Part of a great NBR series on social dimensions of aging. authors.elsevier.com/a/1hzag… Fantastic to work w/ @CamilleTestard & many others in our multi-institute, multi-disciplinary #CBRU team
Check it out! @CamilleTestard, myself, & co synthesized recent research on age and socio-ecological modifiers of the #aging process in the @CayoSantiagoPR macaques. So excited to share our work & grateful to be part of such a collaborative & talented team!

In our new MS at @AmJournalPrimat, we evaluated the promise of urinary cytokine measurements via the Luminex system under ideal conditions, collected in captivity from rhesus macaques before & after surgery. We found urinary measurements to be unpromising.

Very exciting undergrad internship opportunity at ASU's SMack lab!
Back for a 3rd year!
Are you an undergrad interested in genomics/bioinformatics?
We have paid @NSF #REU openings for the summer (2023)! You'll be able to work on research involving geladas, macaques, and dogs!.
Info & application here: smack-lab.com/reu

*Excited* to share our latest review with @LauraNewman33 & co about our team's multi-disciplinary efforts to characterize #aging and its modifiers in the @CayoSantiagoPR macaques: from immunity, to brain, microbiome, gene regulation and more.

VERY excited that our paper on age-based social selectivity in macaques is out in @PNASNews!
pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.22…
Interested in learning more about:
✅Social behaviour
✅Aging
✅Why humans might shrink their social networks as they get older?
Then read on… 🧵(1/20)

Very cool new aging transcriptomics paper by @AlexDeCasien, @kchiou, & others!
🚨 New paper alert! 🚨
We generated a huge transcriptomic (i.e., mRNA, gene expression) 🧬 dataset from the 🧠 of rhesus macaques 🐒 & compared age-related patterns to those in humans 👶🏻🧒🏾🧑🏼🧑🏽🦳🧓🏻

Excited to share the single-cell adult #macaque brain atlas—our contribution to a big week of #brainatlas preprints! W/ @XingfanH, @MichaelLouisPl1, @JShendure, & @SMack_Lab—we profiled 4.2M nuclei across 30 regions from females+males. Here’s what we found bit.ly/3CL0zpQ

Very cool new paper out led by @MeliSandalia on sociality and injury risk!
2nd chapter of the thesis is out now 🥳
cell.com/iscience/pdf/S2589-…
The pre-print has been available for a while, but for those who have not read it or don't want to read the full MS:
We explored two mechanisms by which sociality could influence survival and found evidence for one!

Very cool new study out by our postdoc @EcoEvoEve investigating noninvasive markers that may be predictive of immune system functioning with age!
What if we could quantify immunosenescence in wild populations without invasive blood sampling?
Our new paper shows that urinary neopterin, a biomarker of innate immune activity, is predictive of age in a free-ranging primate. Summary in 🧵 1/7

As promised, a thread of photos and fun facts about the incredible drill monkey (Mandrillus leucophaeus) that I have the privilege of researching. All photos are mine. #scicomm (1/11)

Some nice advice, I particularly like #1: "When you have 90 percent of a large project completed [read: dissertation], finishing up the final details will take another 90 percent.
