When I first met Emil Kendziorra at the Longevity Biotech Fellowship retreat in Sweden, I found myself captivated by his ability to explain every aspect of cryopreservation for hours. His deep knowledge, combined with his remarkable skill in communicating complex ideas, made me realize this conversation needed to reach a broader audience.

In this comprehensive episode, Emil, CEO of Tomorrow Bio, takes us through the fascinating world of cryopreservation, leaving no stone unturned. We explore:

The science behind cryopreservation and how it differs from simple freezing
The history of cryonics and its evolution into modern cryopreservation
Step-by-step details of the preservation process
The logistics of emergency response and stabilization
Long-term storage solutions and safety measures
The challenges and possibilities of future revival
Ethical considerations and philosophical implications
The current state of research and future developments
Practical aspects of signing up and funding
Common misconceptions and concerns

Whether you're curious about cryopreservation as a backup plan for longevity or simply interested in understanding this fascinating field, this episode provides a comprehensive overview of what might be our best bridge to a longer-lived future.
