A leader in the study of longevity is returning to
UCLA Health
Renowned geroscientist and computational biologist
Steve Horvath, PhD, is returning as a professor in the
David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA on July 1, after
4 1/2 years in the biotech industry. Previously, he was a
full-time professor of Human Genetics and Biostatistics at
UCLA for 22 years.
Geroscience is the modern term for the biology of aging.
Dr. Horvath, who was born in Germany, is internationally
known for his research into the aging process and, in
particular, epigenetics, how the environment influences
our genes, affecting a person's longevity.
His groundbreaking research, which he began at UCLA in
2011, looked at the "epigenetic age" of more than 13,000
DNA samples of people from the U.S. and Europe,
determined from the chemical modifications of their DNA
(also called DNA methylation).
People whose epigenetic age was higher than their
chronological age were shown to be at an increased risk
of death from all causes. From this, Dr. Horvath
developed the "epigenetic clock," a way of measuring
biological aging and mortality risk.
"The universal mammalian methylation clock was really a
UCLA triumph — a true team effort," said Dr. Horvath,
who received the 2026 Luminary Award at the Precision
Medicine World Conference. That project, part of the
international Mammalian Methylation Consortium that Dr.
Horvath led, drew on collaborators across UCLA,
including Jason Ernst, PhD; William Yang, MD, PhD;
Ebru Erbay, MD, PhD; Karen Sears, PhD; and Ren
Larison, PhD.
Aging is a growing field of study and the Division of
Geriatrics is a research leader.
"Aging happens at the cellular level — every tissue in the
human body shows signs of aging," explained Arun S.
Karlamangla, MD, PhD, chief of the UCLA Division of
Geriatrics. "The epigenetic profile is affected by stresses
in life. As we age, these stresses change DNA
functionality. Dr. Horvath's research showed that these
changes can be quantified and used to predict a person's
lifespan."
None of us has control over the DNA we're born with, but
we do have some control over how long we live.
"The epigenetic clock is one window into biological aging,
but it doesn't capture everything, and plenty of
well-established factors influence how long and how well
a person lives," said Dr. Horvath. "The strongest
evidence is for the basics: not smoking, maintaining a
healthy weight, a sensible diet, regular physical activity
and good sleep."
Dr. Horvath has run the test on himself and by the
epigenetic clock, he is about three years younger than
his chronological age of 58.
New medications also show promise for improving
longevity, he said. "There's active research interest in
newer GLP-1 receptor agonists — e.g., the
Ozempic/Wegovy class — which are reshaping how we
think about metabolic health," said Dr. Horvath, adding
that the same is true for anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic
drugs.
Dr. Horvath's epigenetic clocks have become standard
tools across aging research, used by teams worldwide to
test what actually changes biological aging.
They have been applied in the randomized DO-HEALTH
trial, where omega-3, vitamin D and exercise modestly
slowed epigenetic aging in adults older than 70; in the
Women's Health Initiative, where faster epigenetic aging
tracked with later cognitive impairment and dementia;
and in studies of cardiovascular disease and mortality.
This kind of population-level application aligns closely
with the Division of Geriatrics' emphasis on healthy,
independent life expectancy.
Dr. Horvath's research has also shown that the cells of
different organs age at different rates. For instance, the
liver ages faster than other organs, he said, particularly in
the case of people with obesity.
Another discovery was that the blood and brain tissues of
human males age faster than those of females, which
might be the reason women live longer on average than
men across all cultures and countries.
Leading in aging research
The study of aging at the UCLA Division of Geriatrics
focuses on understanding the epidemiology of
age-related conditions such as frailty, cognitive
impairment and dementia, and improving the delivery of
compassionate, comprehensive care to older adults.
Dr. Horvath's return to UCLA will bolster the department's
role in aging research by translating his cellular research
to clinical trials, said Dr. Karlamangla.
"We want to be pioneers in all three aspects: cellular
research, clinical and population-level research, and
health services and implementation research," Dr.
Karlamangla said. "We are one of the pioneers in clinical
innovation for the delivery of healthcare to older adults,"
he said, an approach that is called bench to bedside.
Life expectancy is important, but even more important is
good health, which is necessary for independence, Dr.
Karlamangla emphasized. This is referred to as healthy
life expectancy, or independent life expectancy.
New work at UCLA
Along with serving as a professor, Dr. Horvath will return
to UCLA Health as director of aging biology research in
the Department of Medicine, working across 11 divisions.
In this way, he will work directly with doctors to apply
aging research to their patients. The move into the
Department of Medicine is deliberate: his focus now is translating discoveries from aging biology into care for
patients.
"What I'm most looking forward to in returning to UCLA is
the people and the collaborative environment," said Dr.
Horvath. "UCLA has remarkable strength across
medicine, computational biology, stem cell biology, and
the basic science of complex diseases, and being back in
that setting with former colleagues and future students is
what excites me most.
"It feels like the right place to do the next phase of this
work: helping to translate findings from aging biology into
the clinic."

A public-school English teacher uses the UCLA Health
article to design a sequence of reading tasks. In the first
stage, students identify explicit information about Dr.
Horvath's career and research. In the second, they
distinguish established evidence from tentative claims by
examining expressions such as "show promise" and
"might be the reason". In the final stage, they produce a
clear summary of the article, selecting relevant evidence
and preserving the degree of certainty expressed in the
original text.
Considering the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) as a framework for progression in communicative language ability, select the correct alternative.

functionality. Dr. Horvath's research showed that these
changes can be quantified and used to predict a person's
lifespan."
None of us has control over the DNA we're born with, but
we do have some control over how long we live.
"The epigenetic clock is one window into biological aging,
but it doesn't capture everything, and plenty of
well-established factors influence how long and how well
a person lives," said Dr. Horvath. "The strongest
evidence is for the basics: not smoking, maintaining a
healthy weight, a sensible diet, regular physical activity
and good sleep."
Dr. Horvath has run the test on himself and by the
epigenetic clock, he is about three years younger than
his chronological age of 58.
New medications also show promise for improving
longevity, he said. "There's active research interest in
newer GLP-1 receptor agonists — e.g., the
Ozempic/Wegovy class — which are reshaping how we
think about metabolic health," said Dr. Horvath, adding
that the same is true for anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic
drugs.
Dr. Horvath's epigenetic clocks have become standard
tools across aging research, used by teams worldwide to
test what actually changes biological aging.
They have been applied in the randomized DO-HEALTH
trial, where omega-3, vitamin D and exercise modestly
slowed epigenetic aging in adults older than 70; in the
Women's Health Initiative, where faster epigenetic aging
tracked with later cognitive impairment and dementia;
and in studies of cardiovascular disease and mortality.
This kind of population-level application aligns closely
with the Division of Geriatrics' emphasis on healthy,
independent life expectancy.
Dr. Horvath's research has also shown that the cells of
different organs age at different rates. For instance, the
liver ages faster than other organs, he said, particularly in
the case of people with obesity.
Another discovery was that the blood and brain tissues of
human males age faster than those of females, which
might be the reason women live longer on average than
men across all cultures and countries.
Leading in aging research
The study of aging at the UCLA Division of Geriatrics
focuses on understanding the epidemiology of
age-related conditions such as frailty, cognitive
impairment and dementia, and improving the delivery of
compassionate, comprehensive care to older adults.
Dr. Horvath's return to UCLA will bolster the department's
role in aging research by translating his cellular research
to clinical trials, said Dr. Karlamangla.
"We want to be pioneers in all three aspects: cellular
research, clinical and population-level research, and
health services and implementation research," Dr.
Karlamangla said. "We are one of the pioneers in clinical
innovation for the delivery of healthcare to older adults,"
he said, an approach that is called bench to bedside.
Life expectancy is important, but even more important is
good health, which is necessary for independence, Dr.
Karlamangla emphasized. This is referred to as healthy
life expectancy, or independent life expectancy.
New work at UCLA
Along with serving as a professor, Dr. Horvath will return
to UCLA Health as director of aging biology research in
the Department of Medicine, working across 11 divisions.
In this way, he will work directly with doctors to apply
aging research to their patients. The move into the
Department of Medicine is deliberate: his focus now is translating discoveries from aging biology into care for
patients.
"What I'm most looking forward to in returning to UCLA is
the people and the collaborative environment," said Dr.
Horvath. "UCLA has remarkable strength across
medicine, computational biology, stem cell biology, and
the basic science of complex diseases, and being back in
that setting with former colleagues and future students is
what excites me most.
"It feels like the right place to do the next phase of this
work: helping to translate findings from aging biology into
the clinic."

A leader in the study of longevity is returning to
UCLA Health
Renowned geroscientist and computational biologist
Steve Horvath, PhD, is returning as a professor in the
David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA on July 1, after
4 1/2 years in the biotech industry. Previously, he was a
full-time professor of Human Genetics and Biostatistics at
UCLA for 22 years.
Geroscience is the modern term for the biology of aging.
Dr. Horvath, who was born in Germany, is internationally
known for his research into the aging process and, in
particular, epigenetics, how the environment influences
our genes, affecting a person's longevity.
His groundbreaking research, which he began at UCLA in
2011, looked at the "epigenetic age" of more than 13,000
DNA samples of people from the U.S. and Europe,
determined from the chemical modifications of their DNA
(also called DNA methylation).
People whose epigenetic age was higher than their
chronological age were shown to be at an increased risk
of death from all causes. From this, Dr. Horvath
developed the "epigenetic clock," a way of measuring
biological aging and mortality risk.
"The universal mammalian methylation clock was really a
UCLA triumph — a true team effort," said Dr. Horvath,
who received the 2026 Luminary Award at the Precision
Medicine World Conference. That project, part of the
international Mammalian Methylation Consortium that Dr.
Horvath led, drew on collaborators across UCLA,
including Jason Ernst, PhD; William Yang, MD, PhD;
Ebru Erbay, MD, PhD; Karen Sears, PhD; and Ren
Larison, PhD.
Aging is a growing field of study and the Division of
Geriatrics is a research leader.
"Aging happens at the cellular level — every tissue in the
human body shows signs of aging," explained Arun S.
Karlamangla, MD, PhD, chief of the UCLA Division of
Geriatrics. "The epigenetic profile is affected by stresses
in life. As we age, these stresses change DNA
functionality. Dr. Horvath's research showed that these
changes can be quantified and used to predict a person's
lifespan."
None of us has control over the DNA we're born with, but
we do have some control over how long we live.

a person lives," said Dr. Horvath. "The strongest
evidence is for the basics: not smoking, maintaining a
healthy weight, a sensible diet, regular physical activity
and good sleep."
Dr. Horvath has run the test on himself and by the
epigenetic clock, he is about three years younger than
his chronological age of 58.
New medications also show promise for improving
longevity, he said. "There's active research interest in

Reading Comprehension
The use of media and digital technologies has transformed English language teaching and learning in Brazil. Teachers can now use videos, podcasts, digital games, social media, online dictionaries, educational platforms, and interactive applications to create more dynamic learning experiences. These resources can provide students with contact with authentic materials and different varieties of English used around the world.
However, technology itself does not guarantee effective learning. The teacher plays an important role in selecting appropriate resources and connecting them to clear learning objectives. Digital tools should be used as pedagogical resources rather than simply as entertainment. For example, a teacher may use a video to develop listening comprehension, followed by a discussion that encourages students to express their opinions in English.
Technology can also support collaboration and student autonomy. Online projects may allow students to work together, communicate with other learners, and produce multimodal texts combining words, images, sounds, and videos. In addition, students can access English-language materials outside the classroom, creating opportunities for continuous learning.
Despite these possibilities, the use of technology in Brazilian schools also presents challenges. Unequal access to devices and reliable internet connections can create educational inequalities. Teachers may also need training to integrate digital resources effectively into their pedagogical practices.
Therefore, the meaningful use of technology requires not only access to digital tools but also critical planning, teacher mediation, and consideration of students’ social and educational contexts.
Study the sentences below and decide if they are true ( T ) or false ( F ), according to the text.
( ) The main idea of the text is about how digital technologies can contribute to English teaching, but their effectiveness depends on appropriate pedagogical use.
( ) Technology itself does not guarantee effective learning.
( ) The teacher’s role in the use of technology is to allow students to choose any digital resource without guidance.
( ) Multimodal texts(mentioned in the text) are texts that combine different modes, such as words, images, sounds, and videos.
( ) The challenge related to technology mentioned in the text is that digital technologies can’t be used for language teaching.
Choose the alternative which presents the correct sequence, from top to bottom.

The discipline of International Relations (IR) has repeatedly discussed the problem of agency, though not always using the term.
A central preoccupation of IR since its inception is the question of whose actions shape international politics: who possesses agency. Starting from a rather state-centric perspective, IR initially considered only states and their leaders as relevant actors. Agency was thus closely linked to the notion of state sovereignty and the idea that “great” men (and occasionally women) make history. Over the years, and no doubt reflecting changes in the actual practices of international politics, IR has gradually considered more and more actors as possible agents: international organizations and their bureaucrats, corporations, NGOs, expert communities and professions, celebrities, insurgent groups and so on. The focus has for the most part been on demonstrating that the new actors actually make a difference rather than explaining how they acquired their agency.
A more explicit theorization of agency was initiated when Alexander Wendt introduced the agent-structure problem into IR and proposed a “structurationist” perspective that conceives of agents and structures as mutually constitutive but ontologically distinct entities. Other scholars working in the constructivist tradition have examined how the mastery of particular repertoires of politics, such as diplomacy, expert governance or advocacy and activism, can confer agency on different actors. They have also shown how agency depends on its recognition by other actors and can be undermined if such recognition is denied. Critical, feminist and postcolonial scholars have emphasized that agency is still unevenly distributed, with certain courses of action open to some actors but not to others, depending on their positioning within power relations. It then becomes clear not only that the question of agency is a highly political one, but that, in writing about agency, we cannot escape its politics.

More than 20 children killed in DR Congo school fire
At least 24 schoolchildren have died in a stampede as
they tried to flee a fire that engulfed two schools in
rebel-held Bukavu in the eastern Democratic Republic of
Congo, officials there have said.
Adults are also reported to have died in the fire and there
are fears that the death toll could rise further in the
densely populated Kadutu commune.
Survivors have been taken to nearby hospitals, and
footage of the scene shows children lying on hospital
floors in pain.
Some 300 houses have also been destroyed in the fire,
the cause of which is unknown.
Rebel?appointed authorities released a provisional death
toll of 24 on Thursday evening, confirming previous
reports, but there are fears that more people may have
died.
Pictures circulating on social media show young children
lying motionless on the ground.
A witness quoted by Reuters news agency said the fire
had been put out by afternoon but smoke was still rising
from rubble and corrugated metal.
Bukavu, the capital of South Kivu province and one of DR
Congo's most crowded hillside cities, was captured by
M23 rebels in February last year.
Meanwhile the government in Kinshasa released a
statement on X, without specifying numbers of casualties.
"The Ministry of National Education and New Citizenship
expressed deep sorrow over the deadly fire," it said.
"With several lives lost and many injured, the toll remains
provisional. The minister offered condolences, affirmed
solidarity with families, and ordered assessments of
affected schools to ensure learning continuity."
The tragedy follows a similar fire in Kinshasa last
weekend, where residents died in a stampede at a
wedding banquet hall.
In response, the government has ordered strict safety
measures and deployed teams nationwide to enforce
standards at public gathering places.

More than 20 children killed in DR Congo school fire
At least 24 schoolchildren have died in a stampede as
they tried to flee a fire that engulfed two schools in
rebel-held Bukavu in the eastern Democratic Republic of
Congo, officials there have said.
Adults are also reported to have died in the fire and there
are fears that the death toll could rise further in the
densely populated Kadutu commune.
Survivors have been taken to nearby hospitals, and
footage of the scene shows children lying on hospital
floors in pain.
Some 300 houses have also been destroyed in the fire,
the cause of which is unknown.
Rebel?appointed authorities released a provisional death
toll of 24 on Thursday evening, confirming previous
reports, but there are fears that more people may have
died.
Pictures circulating on social media show young children
lying motionless on the ground.
A witness quoted by Reuters news agency said the fire
had been put out by afternoon but smoke was still rising
from rubble and corrugated metal.
Bukavu, the capital of South Kivu province and one of DR
Congo's most crowded hillside cities, was captured by
M23 rebels in February last year.
Meanwhile the government in Kinshasa released a
statement on X, without specifying numbers of casualties.
"The Ministry of National Education and New Citizenship
expressed deep sorrow over the deadly fire," it said.
"With several lives lost and many injured, the toll remains
provisional. The minister offered condolences, affirmed
solidarity with families, and ordered assessments of
affected schools to ensure learning continuity."
The tragedy follows a similar fire in Kinshasa last
weekend, where residents died in a stampede at a
wedding banquet hall.
In response, the government has ordered strict safety
measures and deployed teams nationwide to enforce
standards at public gathering places.

The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet - Synopsis by William Shakespeare
The prologue of Romeo and Juliet calls the title characters “star-crossed lovers”—and the stars do seem to conspire against these young lovers.
Romeo is a Montague, and Juliet a Capulet. Their families are enmeshed in a feud, but the moment they meet—when Romeo and his friends attend a party at Juliet’s house in disguise—the two fall in love and quickly decide that they want to be married.
A friar secretly marries them, hoping to end the feud. Romeo and his companions almost immediately encounter Juliet’s cousin Tybalt, who challenges Romeo. When Romeo refuses to fight, Romeo’s friend Mercutio accepts the challenge and is killed. Romeo then kills Tybalt and is banished. He spends that night with Juliet and then leaves for Mantua.
Juliet’s father forces her into a marriage with Count Paris. To avoid this marriage, Juliet takes a potion, given her by the friar, that makes her appear dead. The friar will send Romeo word to be at her family tomb when she awakes. The plan goes awry, and Romeo learns instead that she is dead. In the tomb, Romeo kills himself. Juliet wakes, sees his body, and commits suicide. Their deaths appear finally to end the feud.
