Montana's 'Right to Try law' (SB422 & SB535) lets people seeking anti-aging treatments access experimental therapies post-Phase I trials. Should we have this be a blueprint for development of anti-ageing therapeutics 🧬 #RightToTry #Montana #Longevity fastdemocracy.com/bill-search/...

Some organisms make human lifespans look incredibly short 🤯

🧬Longest-Living Organisms 🧵:

1. 🪸 Hexactinellid sponge: 15,000 yrs

3. 🌳 African baobab: 2,500 yrs
4. 🪸 Epibenthic sponge: 1,550 yrs
5. 🌳 Common ginkgo: 1,000 yrs

People accept ageing as natural not because they don’t know what to do, but because as they get older & sicker, they struggle to imagine a future without disease.

We all agree #ageing will be solved someday, but we can’t yet imagine how or that we’ll be the ones making it happen!

Abundance mindset isn’t just philosophy, it’s a longevity science.

Optimists live 7.5+ years longer (Harvard data). It lower cortisol, creates stronger social bonds, and boosts neurochemical rewards from gratitude.

A good daily practice: Reframe scarcity → celebrate growth

Statistically we are mostly red blood cells and platelets (count: 80-90%) and they don't even have a nucleus. #BiologyIsWild #CellBiology

Imagine if we could safely harness the power of a lower core body temperature to slow ageing and treat age-related diseases. New findings suggest that cooling might be one of the most effective ways to extend healthspan. 🧵

There is no one way to read academic papers. Scientist value different sections of papers. I personally check figure legends and last paragraphs of Introduction and discussion.

This study finds a brain region in mice as the ageing hub, linking immune shifts to energy control. A step closer to decoding brain ageing! 🧠 #Science #Ageing

Should aging be a disease or not?

As Winston Churchill said "The farther back you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see." What did 1995 think 2025 would look like? In 1995, BBC's Tomorrow's World made bold predictions featuring scientists like Stephen Hawking.

Did they get it right? Let’s explore! 🧵

AI apps dominated 2024, there are more vertical AIs coming in 2025.

Many people will welcome 2025 with joy, while as many as 62 million (the population size of Italy) lost their lives, and many more mourn their loss.

Ageing is the most silent and most gruesome killer. Let’s make fighting ageing, suffering, and death humanity’s top priority. #NewYearResolution

Jimmy Carter was the first centenarian US president, having turned 100 years old last October. Living exactly 36,614 days, he is the longest-living president in US history.

The question is: How does the life expectancy of US presidents compare to that of average Americans?
