How to crowdfund the development of products, with variants such as crowdfunding to purchase equity in a company rather than a product, is a solved problem. Enabled by the internet, crowdfunding clearly works well when those who provide the funds will obtain something of concrete value in the near term as a result, be it a product or equity. Unfortunately, the established approaches to crowdfunding, exemplified by platforms such as Kickstarter, fail to work at scale when the goal is to fund scientific research. People have tried, numerous times, to make a Kickstarter for scientific research, with Experiment being perhaps the best of the resulting failures. The fundamental issue is that without the quid pro quo of a product or equity, some concrete value obtained, the incentives and feedback loops that make Kickstarter and its ilk work are absent.

With all the stellar work your skin does as a durable shield against the elements, it will inevitably develop wrinkles, lines, and blemishes over time — otherwise known as aging.
The weight of sun exposure and environmental damage wreaks havoc on skin cells. These stressors cause a decrease in collagen production, which eventually leads to the formation of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin.
To fight back against these visible signs of aging, skin care products aim to fill out and plump the skin with moisture-rich ingredients, keeping it soft and hydrated. Not only does this improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles over time, but it also creates a smoother surface for makeup application.
Skin care routines are as varied as people’s complexions, but some general steps are widely recognized as good anti-aging (or as we like to say “pro-aging”) practices. Exfoliating, cleansing, hydrating, …

There is, in general, a growing appreciation of the relevance of previously dismissed mechanisms of damage in the pathology of common age-related disease, such as cardiovascular conditions. The biggest challenge in aging and age-related disease is perhaps less the identification of relevant mechanisms, but rather understanding the relative importance of those mechanisms. Take transthyretin amyloidosis for example, the accumulation of misfoldedtransthyretin aggregates that occurs over the course of aging. It is only comparatively recently that the research community has established that this universal process of aging contributes meaningfully <a href="https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2015/07/transthyretin-amyloidosis-is-m…

There’s nothing like eating a freshly cooked meal. But meals that are prepped ahead of time can sometimes be a different story. You have to pack up the goods and stash them in your fridge or freezer until you’re ready to chow down. And sometimes heating up pre-prepped food can turn into a massive fail — no thanks to dried-out meat or soggy greens.
With that in mind, we’re breaking down how to reheat the most commonly pre-made foods so you don’t end up with a total disaster come chow time.
Here are simple ways to use the microwave, oven, and stovetop to breathe life back into a pre-made meal.
