Long-term calorie restriction may slow normal brain aging
As the brain ages, cells in the central nervous system experience metabolic dysfunction and increased oxidative damage. These cellular issues impair the ability to maintain the myelin sheath (the protective covering around nerve fibers), which leads to age-related white matter degradation.

halox: Dark matter halo properties and large-scale structure calculations using JAX
Dark matter halos are fundamental structures in cosmology, forming the gravitational potential wells hosting galaxies and clusters of galaxies. Their properties and statistical distribution (including the halo mass function) are invaluable tools to infer the fundamental properties of the Universe. The \texttt{halox} package is a JAX-powered Python library enabling differentiable and accelerated computations of key properties of dark matter halos, and of the halo mass function. The automatic dif…

Can't get fire cement on a Sunday (or yesterday, for that matter).
Time for vigorous activity, instead!

Help Bara'a and her elderly parents in Gaza
My name is Bara'a El-Mughraby. Me and my older brother are the sole breadwinners for my family of five in Al-Shati refugee camp in North Gaza. Me, my elderly parents, my sister and my brother. For months, we have endured the unimaginable and did everything we can to survive, but now our situation worsened a lot and has become a matter of life or death. The constant bombardment and the recent evacuation orders from the IDF mean we have to leave our home—but we don't have the capabilities nor t…
