Ronald Klein was biking around his neighborhood in North Wales, Pennsylvania, in 2006 and tried to jump a curb. “But I was going too slow — I didn’t have enough momentum,” he recalled. As the bike toppled, he thrust out his left arm to break the fall. It didn’t seem like a serious accident, yet […]
When someone opens the door and enters a hospital room, wearing a stethoscope is a telltale sign that they’re a clinician. This medical device has been around for over 200 years and remains a staple in the clinic despite significant advances in medical diagnostics and technologies.

Uncertainty is part of the human experience. It appears whenever we face the unknown, stand at a crossroads, or challenge ourselves to grow.

We’ve reported here how science continues to debunk those old, tired tropes of aging. You’ve heard them before: The best years are behind you. Getting older is a period of decline, a gradual goodbye to satisfying work, accomplishments, adventures, style, sex – you name it. But SuperAgers know that we can strive to live our […]
When it comes to describing what an antioxidant is, it’s all in the name: Antioxidants counter oxidants. And that’s a good thing.
