(1/4) In physics, experiments usually challenge the existing paradigm, often providing a set of empirical facts or fundamental observations about new phenomena. For instance, the discovery of superconductivity led to observations of zero electrical resistance below a certain

I enjoyed this debate, and Karl’s summary here is great too. @fedichev did a great job laying out his stand (which like Karl and with apologies to Peter I’d not fully grasped due to not having time to go through the maths in the papers, but I feel like I get much more now)

Last week, while discussing with @statto and @AlexanderMWolf7 , we brought up the issue of correlations between hallmarks of aging. I argued that age-dependent features in aging organisms are dynamically locked—strongly correlated beyond mere dependence on chronological age. This

I have a confession to make: I do not like the concept of biological age and believe it is a wrong target for longevity interventions. Watch my hands - we are all fascinated by aging clocks. Take any good paper on biological clocks and see that the risk ration at the std level of

Here my controversial opinion piece. Briefly put, exercise and diet are important, but real geroscience is orders of magnitude better. The former are overrated due to biased data. @fedichev @DocLarus agree? @mkaeberlein @MaxUnfried @NirBarzilaiMD ?

Every Christmas Eve, I find myself reflecting on the same date in 1968. On that day, Apollo 8's crew, the first humans to orbit the Moon, read from Genesis during a live TV broadcast. In their ninth lunar orbit, Anders, Lovell, and Borman shared the creation narrative, verses

(3/4) Let's explore how these "rules of engagement" might benefit the science of aging. The initial step is to identify a minimum set of crucial observations—let's term these the fundamental aging truths (FATs). To me, these encompass the exponential acceleration of mortality

This is a good one - thank you, @DerekU02 , for commenting. I noted many times that replacing piece by piece is the boldest attempt to beat back the thermodynamic irreversibility. I would argue it relies on technology that we do not have and may not have very soon: (1) in

@fedichev The ship of theseus argument could improve the case against your example. If you replace things piece by piece, it will be hard to argue the resulting human is a different individual than the one who started the therapies. Of course this happens naturally at the molecular level.
