I’ve watched the lifespan/healthspan extension field, which I’ve been a big believer in, go from being viewed as a complete joke and ridiculous (and even impossible (which is insane)) by scientists (and the public) 15 years ago, to one of the hottest sectors.
We can talk about the personal, special interests of VC and oligarchs, but I’ve always thought it was an obvious cost saving strategy for the government due to the rising costs of healthcare, which are largely due to age related decline.
I was right on this one and everyone scoffing at me as a young pup in PhD school was wrong 🤙
