Trudiagnostic have changed the way they handle the Rejuvenation Olympics Leaderboard algorithm. The result of this initially was that I was globally no 40 and have now dropped to 44. Trudiagnostic are a US company that get samples of blood and they look at the DNA to see which parts of the DNA have methyl groups (CH3) attached to them. These modifications to DNA are called methylation markers. DunedinPACE is an algorithm which uses DNA methylation markers in white blood cells to work out how quickly or slowly someone is aging. I had three results on this. The odd thing about the results was that whilst my epigenetic age calculated from the same methylation markers was going down, the speed at which I was aging was going up. I find this somewhat counterintuitive. It is, however, I think relevant that in a global contest my approach on biochemistry which is quite different to many other people's does seem to keep up with others working in the same area. To that extent it...

No-one likes europop anymore other than the silly buggers who vote to select the UK entry.
No-one else - not even the Scandis - tried europop this year.
I was fully expecting nul points when Ireland and Malta saved the day. Good for them! (and tactical voting) Perhaps when the UK has a decent entry, we'll get a few points.
I would not have been surprised if they had ended up with zilch.
Goodness knows what they have ben putting in the water in Malta!
You try and compete in industry.
Our products are like our Euro pop entry...of better quality.
The eastern block products are tacky and of lower quality.
Yet we buy their products ...because they are cheap.
I would say a decent analogy all round.
