New post: Can longevity save us from a population crisis?
We tried out @OurWorldInData’s new population projection tool to see if increasing life expectancy could save us from demographic decline: thelongevityinitiative.org/2…
There are just hours of 2025 remaining…so it’s your last chance to support The LI before the end of the tax year!

Is there any resource that shows for every cell type how good we are at differentiating from iPSCs into it?
(i.e. providing measures of similarity to naturally occurring differentiation - histology, transcriptomics, proteomics etc)
Fun fact: It took @Ben_A_Hopkinson longer to get permission to visit Waltham Forest’s planning archive than it did to get permission to build a block of flats in 1937.

‘It is like a concentration camp,’ locals in blockaded Nagorno-Karabakh/Artsakh say.

#longevitysummitDublin paraphrasing @aubreydegrey the point about the Hallmarks of ageing is not as much in the specific hallmarks but in having the concept; more resource should be focused on scientific work on damage repair for hallmarks we already know about
Good news !
Our article titled "The longitudinal dynamics and natural
history of clonal haematopoiesis" has just been published onlline. It has been joyous to work with Marga, Jose, Moritz and our collaborators on this exciting story! Thank you all ! nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
Risk of Alzheimer’s disease goes up ~10-fold for every 15 yrs of biological age. A chronologically aged 70 year old with a biological age of 55 is ~100-fold less likely to develop Alzheimer's (and many other diseases) than a 70 year old with a biological age of 85
While lying or misleading was wrong, authorising airlifting some animals in preference to some people, if they were at similar or greater risk of harm wasn’t. The relevant official should have saved their righteousness.
