“Education is the best provision for old age.” - Aristotle In the longevity economy, this is a business strategy. Education is the fuel for patient compliance. When a patient knows why they need to do something, chances are, they’ll do it.

Two weeks without mobile internet improved mental health more than antidepressants and reversed roughly 10 years of attentional decline. Screen time dropped 49% (314 to 161 min/day).

Dr. Rhonda Patrick is the world's leading anti-aging researcher. On her latest podcast she exposed the top 10 things that increase your disease risk, fat gain & aging speed (I bet my life savings you have no clue about them): 1. Visceral fat doubles your death risk.

What if our descendants look back at our acceptance of aging the way we look back at medieval medicine? We interviewed them. Dystopian futures are easy to imagine. Optimistic futures take vision and courage to build. VOICES FROM 2099:

I work in science communication. The biggest mistake I see longevity startups make: Talking to your clients like scientists. Your message needs to be: Simple Clear Easy to understand (so they can tell their friends). If not, you’re losing clients.

There’s that saying that says, “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” And it’s 100 percent true! Think about someone you really like but try to understand what you like about them. It’s not just because of what they did or said but rather how they made you feel. Our reality is shaped by our experiences... and it’s exactly the same for everyone around us. The way we make people feel is the distinctive feature or characteristic that serves to identify us. Soo, no pressure people, but also, isn’t it so damn important?! “Your smile is your logo, your personality is your business card & how you leave others after an experience with you becomes your trademark.” I guess the legacy we leave is a choice we make... imagine if that choice was filled with kindness? Remember that happiness is the new rich. Inner peace is the new success. Health is the new wealth, and kindness is the new cool. That's always it. Kindness. Okay. Love you. Bye.

🤖 So #ChatGPT wrote the first sentence of this @ElsevierConnect article. Any other parts of the article too? How come none of the coauthors, Editor-in-Chief, reviewers, typesetters noticed? How can this happen with regular peer-review? pubpeer.com/publications/C…

A common question I get — why work in product+marketing if you have experience in bioinformatics and know how to code? My take is that I can either be a mediocre coder or be a really good communicator about life sciences software. Business problems in biotech need scientists too

Out today in @NatureBiotech! PhD students & postdocs: there's a trick – overlooked and underused – for having new ideas in the creative process. Talk science 1 on 1 with a science buddy that you trust and think of it as an improvisation. nature.com/articles/s4158…@MartinJLercher
