This was a really cool, fun, thoughtful read - part hard science, part speculative analysis, this book by @davidasinclair needs more eyeballs on it. Right up your philosophical alley if you’re an Orville fan.      source

Listened to Lifespan by @davidasinclair with Matthew LaPlane. Excellent book. Full of science, ethics, policy and life. Fits well with @WalterIsaacson Biography on @doudna_lab. A strong recommendation. Biotech is not only the future, it is here with us.      source

Sinclair’s a brilliant guy (highly recommend his book “Lifespan”). Nice to see him chiming in on COVID-19. This ~12 min sobering video is worth a watch.      source

If you haven’t read Lifespan by @davidasinclair of @Harvard Medical School (I strongly recommend it), he gives a host of compelling evidence to show there is no reason people born today cannot live to at least 120 in healthy condition, if not 150 and beyond.      source
