We're building something new: every research paper on arxiv, explained in plain language. Not summaries. Not abstracts. Real explanations with analogies and metaphors. In 10 languages. Here's how it works 🧵

Aging isn't just about individual organs failing; it's a systemic rise in biological entropy. New research shows how chaos spreads across the body. gist.science/paper/med/10.1…
