At 115, Ethel Caterham becomes the world's oldest living person! Born in 1909, she attributes her longevity to a simple mantra: "I listen and I do what I like." A life well-lived, indeed. @Guardian #longevity theguardian.com/science/2025/m…

Great piece by our co-founder Andrew J Scott. When 115 year old Ethel Caterham was born, women lived to 52—now centenarians are the fastest-growing age group. The challenge isn’t just living longer, but better. Time to build a #longevitysociety. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Goldman Sachs economists argue aging may not be the economic drag it’s often seen as. As people work longer, dependency ratios are improving—even without major pension reforms. Longevity is driving adaptation, not just cost. #longevity #economy gspublishing.com/content/resear…
