Episode notes

The speaker discusses how his interest in aging was sparked by his encounter with a deep approach to the subject. This was further influenced by Leonard Hayflick's research on long-lived species, which led the speaker to ponder on the inevitability of aging and the universal experience of functional decline. He emphasizes the need to look for new opportunities and drive change to positively impact the aging population. The speaker also notes the significant shift in attitude towards impacting aging, mentioning that it was once considered heresy but is now a widely embraced and hot topic.

In this episode, Peter and Jamie discuss the launch of the $101 million XPRIZE Healthspan. This competition aims to develop and test therapeutics targeting the biology of aging to improve function and extend healthy lifespan. Can we reverse aging by a decade?
