# @SmartScience: posts, by topic Back to [[Users/@SmartScience/SmartScience-x-profile|@SmartScience profile]] · [[Users/@SmartScience/Topical List|Topical list]] · [[Users/@SmartScience/Chronological List|Chronological list]] **Scope:** the account's **125 most recent original posts** (reposts excluded), from Sep 28, 2026, 9:05 PM CT to Oct 24, 2026, 1:02 PM CT. They were pulled from the X API on Oct 24, 2026 at about 5:30 PM CT, which is also when the metrics were read. The account has about 1,581 posts in all, since Mar 2026, so this is a sample of the last four weeks, not the full archive. - **Opening lines** are quoted verbatim, with t.co links removed. Lines over 160 characters are cut with "…". - **Sources:** none of the 125 posts links to a source. 120 are long posts with an image; the only link in each is the post's own image. **29 end with a plain-text "Source:" line**, shown in the last column (— means none). Most of the others name a journal or institution in the body but give no link. - **Topic labels** were set by keyword and then corrected by hand. - 🔁 means the same text was posted more than once in the sample. Several other stories were reposted with new wording (see the profile). ## Contents - Health, medicine and aging (41) - Brain and mental health (26) - Consciousness, fringe and speculative physics (15) - AI, tech and Musk (14) - Other science (space, physics, biology, history) (11) - Society and news (11) - Environment and climate (7) ## Health, medicine and aging (41) | Posted (CT) | Opening line (verbatim) | Link | Impressions | Likes | Reposts | Bookmarks | Source line | |---|---|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---| | Oct 23, 2026, 1:11 PM CT | “🦷 Scientists Create a Special Gel That Could Repair Damaged Teeth Without Drilling or Fillings!” | [post](https://x.com/SmartScience/status/2113694732581056769) | 4,011 | 210 | 67 | 69 | Hasan, A., et al.
