Trudiagnostic change PACE leaderboard algorithm - was in position 40, now position 44 - does it matter?
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...

As for repeating ill informed critism of a difficult and emotionally fraught profession, for someone in your position I find that utterly irresponsible. How can you truely believe that any social worker would take any child into care without good reason? Are you aware of the complex process, not to mention legal costs of going to court that local authorities must shoulder, that must be undertaken before displacement is considered.
I find your advertising of this ridiculous article offensive, and strongly feel that you should spend some time with social workers who would help educate you on such matters.
