@ahchoen Sure, and much of this is good conversation to be having, absolutely. It’s that many of the “news” stories are inaccurate.
I shouldn’t single you out - it’s more a problem with the media than with you specifically. You’ve just happened to disproportionately populate my feed
Gero has just been selected as a 2026 Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum (@wef).
For over a decade I've approached #aging as a physicist: not as a collection of isolated diseases to treat after they appear, but as a macroscopic process driven by the accumulation of entropic damage and the loss of resilience in a complex system. That framework is what led us to found @hacking_aging.
At Gero, we use physics-informed models on large-scale clinical data to separate aging itself from specific disease trajectories. Our goal is straightforward: identify ways to slow the underlying rate of functional decline before reversible stress turns into irreversible collapse. Stop the clock where it matters most — on the processes that erode healthspan.
This recognition from the WEF is a strong validation of that direction. Looking forward to connecting with the other pioneers and pushing these ideas further.

This analysis from Karl is a must-read. He is 100% right that the distinction between slowing aging and reversing it (aka rejuvenation) is fundamental but is far too ignored/misunderstood.
This is @aubreydegrey's best podcast.
Not because it covers the solvable problem of death in the greatest detail
but because it gives rare insight into the man that has dedicated his life to fight humanity's biggest killer.
I have met tens of talented individuals that have changed the course of their life to work on aging after coming across Aubrey.
Along with the help of his colleagues @_SciCLops_ and @dw2 I have come to understand how utterly underfunded research into the number one cause of death - aging - is, and consider myself also converted to the cause.
Death must die.
Long live Aubrey and @LongevityEVF !

@services15146 I have been on and off phone, email, WhatsApp and webchat with you guys all day. All cases should be handled promptly, not just those who tweet about it.
