The Sheekey Science Show

glad to be making science content!

AI can now design antibodies to hit a target you pick — no animals, no massive screens. I spoke with @santimillef to unpack Germinal, the open-source pipeline behind it. We discuss how it works, the bottlenecks and what's next : youtu.be/g9GBoiOtibQ

Are we targeting aging the wrong way? In this interview with Peter Fedichev (@fedichev), CEO of Gero, we discuss why many longevity interventions may only be tackling “level 1” aging. youtu.be/buEPyBiKrXw

🎉 Congrats to #AGE2026 Early Career Scholar Awardee Eleanor Sheekey (@BDR_RIKEN)! Recognized by the #AmericanAgingAssociation, her research studies how the extracellular matrix shapes cellular rejuvenation — uncovering how tissue environments influence aging and regeneration.

It turns out with a bit of physics, you don't need 300 theories to explain aging—just 3 variables. In this video I show how this model can be used to categorise longevity interventions into 3 distinct levels based on their potential to extend lifespan. youtu.be/c-_Pdp5IIvw

This week I spoke with Dr Luis Garza about his lab's interest in skin rejuvenation and a recent clinical trial they conducted ectopically placing feet fibroblasts into the thigh to increase skin thickness... Enjoy!! youtube.com/watch?v=5iEXYr…

Did you know this about tissue rejuvenation...?? This week I spoke with Jason Mills (@millsjc67 ) about his lab's research on Paligenosis, the process of a differentiated cell re-entering the cell cycle!! --> youtu.be/8bc-r0EAxgg Thank you for the discussion!! 🙏

This week I spoke with Christie Wilcox(@NerdyChristie ) all about venomous creatures and how they mastered biochemistry!! Thank you for coming on the show! youtube.com/watch?v=3JD8df…

How does dosage of RAS alter the senescent state and tumour initiation? Latest paper from the @Narita_Lab* spearheaded by @adelynechan and Harrod!! Great job!! Please check it out!! nature.com/articles/s4158… *unfortunately, our Twitter account is blocked as we are too young :D

The @SheekeyScience Show turns 5!! 🥳 It has been a crazy (& fun) past year - I hope to update you all soon with my next career movements!

🎵"Welcome to The Sheekey Science Show!" - theme song.

Had a great few days at @YicsaC 2024 - Oxford edition!! Was shocked I enjoyed the other city soo much (😄) but of course was not shocked by the quality of talks/posters and kindness of all attendees!

It's out! --> youtube.com/watch?v=WPHgf6…… #scicomm #AcademicYouTube

coming tomorrow!!

Want to learn about how @ResearchHub is funding #preregistered research projects? Check out @Delyea_Cole discussing his experience getting funded with $RSC to explore how different types of music affect plant growth on the @SheekeyScience show youtu.be/7wQbuIY4TWc?si…

Have you heard the news? I made a short explainer video here: (youtu.be/tPgaShzwIvc ) @xprize

Have you always wanted to watch my show on Spotify? Well, now you can --> open.spotify.com/show/7DElfvmH5… I will be backloading older interviews onto the site - so if you missed them already or want to revisit, now is the time! 🔥🔥💪

@EleanorSheekey nails it again with a succinct CRISPR-cancer short! Love the blend of smart script and fun visuals. Kudos to the mini-shoutout of @rcm181's multiplex editing for solid tumor CAR-T pre-print! 👏 🎥: youtu.be/ERWTSUxK9v4?si…

Ever wondered if blood type is linked with longevity?? --> youtu.be/AtUc2_6dsz0 #scicomm #AcademicYouTube

Figure 5.3: Thesis submission day with my PhD partner in crime. @DanisThomas4 and I both handed in yesterday afternoon! We try to look serious here, but the past four years have been much fun! I remain in the @narita_lab until December while I work out what I do next!

Thank you @EleanorSheekey for presenting at @eSCAMPS_symp . The Sci-comm workshop was inspiring! 🤩🤩
