In light of recent community questions, Methuselah Foundation would like to provide a clear update regarding our relationship with the @DogelonMars (ELON) project.

Following the generous donation made years ago by @VitalikButerin, whose blog post (https://t.co/KR3eroIqwC) praised the Dogelon Mars community for its creativity, resilience, and charitable spirit. During that time, our role was one of stewardship and collaboration, and we are grateful for the constructive relationship we shared.

Today, we wish to clarify that Methuselah Foundation is no longer involved in the Dogelon Mars project in any capacity. We currently hold no ELON tokens, and we do not play any advisory, management, or developmental role within the ecosystem.

Our work with the Dogelon team was positive and productive, and we deeply appreciate the community’s dedication to using crypto as a force for good.

As both our organizations move forward—independently—we each remain committed to our respective missions of advancing human longevity and helping humanity take meaningful steps toward the stars.

We wish the Dogelon Mars community continued success on its journey. To the Mars!

Believe in BOSTON! 🇺🇸 ❤️‍🔥

Wrapping up an incredible 10 days across Boston and Cambridge for the world-premiere Boston Longevity Week — packed with impactful, history-shaping events and conversations defining the future of longevity.

Having once called this city home, it felt incredible to be back — surrounded by world-class talent, ideas, and energy.
🙏 Over 7 days and 10+ events on both sides of the Charles River, key voices from the Boston ecosystem came together to begin discussing and building the first layer of community infrastructure creating the conditions for real collaboration and progress.

It’s been a privilege to spearhead and coordinate this first edition, anchored by the annual Biomarkers of Aging Conference at Harvard Medical School, and to meet and speak in front of hundreds of people across conferences, hackathons, networking events, pitches, and private gatherings.

I met remarkable and inspiring people, from cancer survivors optimizing their healthspan and lifespan to brilliant hackers, clinicians, policymakers, investors, leaders and pioneers working at the cutting edge.

🎯 Aging affects everyone — and everyone has a role to play.

From this first edition, I’m confident Boston Longevity Week will grow into the city’s flagship annual series, showcasing its unmatched ecosystem and empowering the next generation of longevity innovators in Boston and beyond.

There’s also a lot to bring back to Berlin — and a lot for Berlin to offer — through aligned ecosystem development and bridge building. Together, these two cities can create something truly special.

The right people are now in the room; now it’s about building better coordination, efficiencies, and momentum to get things done 💪

(@GABCBoston), City of Boston (@CityOfBoston) and all the ecosystem partners, volunteers, enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, investors, sponsors, and more.

Believe in Boston, believe in Berlin, and most importantly - believe in yourself! See you again in 2026! 💪

Longevity is an answer to so many of the challenges facing America.

→ Exploding debt + deficits
→ Slowing GDP
→ Declining fertility

We go into it in detail here (and details matter here, so it's worth the extra characters).

Congratulations to the Biomarkers of Aging Challenge Phase II winners! 🎉

[Biomarkers of Aging Consortium @agingbiomarkers]

🏆 Congratulations to the winners of the Biomarkers of Aging Challenge Phase II: Mortality Prediction!

Phase II pushed the boundaries of aging research by asking participants to develop cutting-edge proteomic models predicting mortality risk.

After months of rigorous analysis and innovative data modeling, the winners have emerged:

🥇 1st Place: "Team Kauai"

Comprised of Jakob Träuble of University of Cambridge (@Cambridge_Uni), Korbinian Träuble of Helmholtz Munich (@HelmholtzMunich), and Raphael Lermer of Deutsches Herzzentrum München (@MshiMunchen), Team Kauai developed a groundbreaking proteomic model that outperformed the GrimAgeV2 epigenetic clock.

Their work sets a new standard for innovation in aging biomarker research and their model provides significant advancements in predicting mortality and age-related diseases.

"The contributions of Jakob, Korbinian, and Raphael reflect exactly the kind of pioneering thinking we aimed to foster with this Challenge. Their approaches have set a new standard for innovation in aging biomarker research."

Team Kauai will also receive $40,000 USD in awards as well - congrats!

🏆 About the Challenge & Why Mortality Prediction Matters

The Biomarkers of Aging Challenge aims to generate the most accurate predictive models for aging biomarkers, including mortality and multi-morbidity. Mortality is a primary outcome for aging biomarkers due to its clear, defined nature, and reliable prediction models can pave the way for better aging assessments and longevity interventions.

The competition leveraged a high-quality dataset featuring proteomic profiles, DNA methylation data, and health outcomes from over 500 individuals. These datasets allow us to develop predictive models for chronological age, mortality risk, and future disease incidence.

Shout out to our wonderful friends and partners at Alamar Biosciences (@AlamarBio) for playing a key role in supporting this Challenge by providing their high-sensitivity NULISAseq™ immunoassay panels, enabling the accurate and detailed proteomic analysis necessary for this groundbreaking work.

🌟 Get Ready for Phase III: $100k in awards!

Phase III of the Biomarkers of Aging Challenge, focusing on health span prediction and multi-morbidity outcomes, will kick off in Q3 2025.

Stay tuned for more details!
