Calment is just a weird weird weird outlier in GRG... Context here is thinking about embryo selection & life expectancy GWASes: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/early/2018/07/06/363036 … Looks like you could easily increase life expectancy by half a year using embryo selection and current PGSes? Not bad!

(I dumped the estimate into https://www.gwern.net/Embryo-selection#multiple-selection-on-genetically-correlated-traits … if you're curious where 'half a year' comes from, exactly.)

I made a graph 5 years ago but as far as I know, the Calment anomaly has only gotten stronger: https://math.stackexchange.com/a/388131 No prizes for guessing which datapoint is Calment.pic.twitter.com/6gKMynkiU6

we had her mentioned in class last week,including the fact she kept outliving some doctors and researchers studying her
-
Did they tell you about the annuity or that she loved eating chocolate? So many bonker things.
-
nope, but also that she kept living indepedently and making the CHAD STRIDE instead of needing a cane for tortoise walking velocity well past the age the average supercentenarian has several chronic diseases and needs dedicated care
-
One could definitely make a 'Virginarian vs Jean Chadment' meme here... (Also, has anyone done a 'Virgin candidate-gene study vs Chad GWAS' yet? 'Virgin candidate-gene study has never replicated in his life...')

"just correcting for multiple comparisons would kill 85% of your studies" vs. "5*10^-8 p value threshold by default"

Jeanne Calment was a genuine immortal, she had to fake her death because people were getting suspicious

She was very short, too. Probably some genetic mutation reducing growth
