This is a video created by Dr. David Barzilai on Geroscience -- the modern effort to improve public health by modulating the aging process itself. It's worth 10 minutes of your time. youtube.com/watch?v=ls0eCl…

@agingdoc1 @mkaeberlein Well, they managed to get all of the main principles right. Well done!!!

AI Avatars Explore: The Geroscience Hypothesis—Shaping the Future of 21st Century Medicine In this AI podcast, avatars review two seminal geroscience editorials by @mkaeberlein and @sjayolshansky. While these influential pieces from 2016-2017 laid the groundwork for the field, it's essential to consult the original papers (references provided below) and acknowledge that the science has evolved, with more current discussions and data available. Despite these advancements, the "geroscience hypothesis" remains a captivating concept—the idea that unlocking the biology of aging could lead to therapies that extend healthy human lifespan. This core principle continues to hold immense relevance and is well worth deeper exploration and dissemination. This initial podcast serves as a proof of concept, offering a basic introduction to geroscience principles. I recognize its limitations, including potential errors from the translation process, but I hope it sparks thoughtful discussion and debate. More importantly, I aim to help bring the value of aging biology to a wider audience. @agingdoc1 👨‍⚕️

@thischairrocks @Aronson Well said.

Coming from an anti-#ageism advocate, this might surprise you: I think the ongoing conversation about the age of political candidates is helpful—and necessary. @Aronson @sjayolshansky #ageism #ableism #capitalism nextavenue.org/the-conversati…

It was a real treat spending time with @StevenAustad and @sjayolshansky and talking #longevity and a most unusual bet.

If Donald Trump wins another term in the White House, he'll be 78 years old when it starts. That would make him the 2nd oldest president after Biden, who turns 80 on Sunday. @sjayolshansky and ageism activist @thischairrocks discuss on #Banfield.

How Vaccines Work (5) •Vaccines work best when we all coordinate together to eliminate the risk. •The Tigers are COVID variants, vaccines are closed doors, and when the tigers leave town – that’s called herd immunity. #vaccines

How Vaccines Work (4) •The people at immediate risk are those that leave their doors open – jeopardizing their own health and that of their families, but by not working together as a group they place the entire village in jeopardy. #vaccines
