Junhao Wen

Junhao Wen is the computational neuroscientist at Columbia University named in The case of the missing totem: Aung San Suu Kyi. The episode presents him as lead author of a May Nature study using UK Biobank data to study sleep duration through [[OrganSpecificAgingClock|organ-specific aging clocks]].

His source contribution is methodological caution. Wen says cause and effect are difficult to separate: lack of sleep may accelerate organ aging signals, or another condition may cause both poor sleep and older-looking biological clocks. That keeps Sleep Duration U-Shape inside Population-Level Health Advice rather than personal diagnosis.
