Campaigning for research as the highest-impact action

Longevity scientist Dr. Andrew Steele sits down with Dr. Matt Kaeberlein to make the provocative case that aging should be treated as humanity's greatest challenge, even bigger than climate change. In this deep conversation, they explore why two-thirds of all deaths are caused by aging, the cutting-edge science that's already extending healthy lifespan in animals, and what it would really mean to add decades of vitality to human life. From CRISPR gene therapies to senescent cell clearance, from the ethics of radical life extension to practical steps you can take today, this is an unflinching look at whether we can (and should) slow down aging itself.Timestamps00:00 – Why Aging Is the Biggest Problem We’re Not Solving01:33 – Is Aging Actually Fixable?
