Former US President James Earl ‘Jimmy’ Carter has died aged 100. I had the privilege to take this portrait in 2007 at @BNC_Members when the former US President received an honorary degree (Doctor of Civil Law) from @UniofOxford #JimmyCarter #CarterTribute

@scottisaacsmd The epigenetic clock should reset after each cell division. However, adipocytes and neurones don't divide anymore at adult stage, so such memory may last for a very long time. This is also the reason why 'induced' psychiatric disorders are difficult to treat by epigenetically.

One of the reasons why it is so difficult to maintain weight loss is because adipose issue retains an epigenetic memory of obesity after weight loss. nature.com/articles/s4158…

@BlavatnikSchool @UniofOxford Designed by @HerzogdeMeuron and completed after I left Oxford, it's been on my list for a while. It is interesting how the sky turns different brightness from top (direct) and mirrors at the bottom (left vs right)!

Did you know? @BNC_Members @UniofOxford is getting a new organ, …made in Belgium! and it’s not chocolate! Better: I met the exceptional craftsmen doing the job and it turns that they are from my home town, Liege! 🤩
