I work on a longevity company. My cofounder and I committed $110M of our own money into the company. So you'd think I'm some longevity maximalist. But I don't actually take any drugs or supplements because I don't think anything available today has large enough effects for

Those are ok, but we have a different philosophy. Be nerdy. Demand change. Eat well and exercise- but don't over-optimize. Be an active player- build/support tech to solve aging. Feel tired often- because you're working hard. Support each other- because you're doing hard things.

We're hiring here at DARPA! A "Program Manager" is effectively an intrapreneur and we're going after Synthetic Biology #SynBio super hard. Please fwd to interested people! buff.ly/40LGnjF

To all the longevity biohackers and investors focused on lifestyle, apps, drug re-purposing and other "low hanging fruit. You're underestimating the scale of the problem, and you're not contributing meaningfully to the solution.

I’m excited to join Foresight Institute as a longevity biotech grants advisor. The focus is on fast turnaround of small grant amounts to help frontier longevity biotechnology or molecular nanotechnology ideas and projects get off the ground. If that’s you, I encourage you to apply

There's a lot of hype about the potential for AI to accelerate Bio - come to this event if you want to get deep into the weeds of how that could actually work! What data do we need and who will pay for it? How do models need to be modified to work for bio? I'll be there and am

I had the same thought.

Why is humanity doing almost nothing about the problem of aging and death? Some maybe interesting notes from a discussion I had recently on how people make decisions and why they mostly don't care about aging and death: My simple take is that progress almost often driven by very

A good read by Alexey Guzey on why the NIH doesn't work. Department of Government Efficiency you should hire this guy. Also, take the NIH's budget, eliminate the "overhead", and transfer the remainder to ARPA-H. guzey.com/abolish-the-ni…

Another good read on reforming US science funding by Jacob Trefethen, Department of Government Efficiency maybe another good hire... blog.jacobtrefethen.com/nih-and-nsf/?r…

Hey LBF folks! We’re doing a pitch day in partnership with Infinata City! Anything seed to series B. DM me with questions or to sign up to pitch! Only radical deep tech projects please ;)

Don’t use UberEats. I just placed an order with them and they charged me twice the price of the order. They don’t have customer service people you can talk to, it’s just a brick wall of idiotic bots. I have to waste my time now disputing it as fraudulent with my credit card

Great article! If enough of us are shouting about this maybe they'll start noticing...

Interesting story - My friends at Open Longevity approached Russia's most popular science writer Panchin Alexander (Александр Панчин) to write a book on longevity. He was initially skeptical but after 3 years of research and writing he's become a longevity fanatic! Check out the book:

Do you think death sucks? Are you or any of your friends or loved ones working on something less important? Maybe the LBF is right for you! Join us or recommend us this September to work on fighting aging. This is not a conference. This is a fellowship working to solve aging.

NEW: No technology currently exists to repair damaged brain tissue and fully restore lost function. FRONT aims to enable millions with what is considered permanent brain damage to regain lost functions, including motor control, vision, and speech. arpa-h.gov/news-and-event…

I'm incredibly proud to have worked on the build up to this program launch with Jean Hebert, and to work for a government agency turning sci-fi dreams into reality! ARPA-H Jean M Hébert

I'm creating two lists of billionaires: One list is those with the biggest yachts... the other is a list of those who are having the biggest positive impact on humanity. Maybe this would make a great full-page ad... Who should i add to the list?

Great work by my friends at E11! Proof that the FRO model can solve major technology development bottlenecks that are too ambitious for government or investors. Rich people please pay attention, we need you to support more of this kind of work!
